Here at American Dectectorist we always encourage all of our members to follow the general Metal Detecting Code of Ethics.
Metal Detecting Code of Ethics
I WILL fill all holes and excavations.
I WILL appreciate and protect our heritage of natural resources, wildlife and private property.
I WILL use thoughtfulness, consideration and courtesy at all times.
I WILL remove and properly dispose of any trash that I find.
I WILL respect private property and do no metal detecting without the owner's permission.
I WILL observe all laws , whether national , state or local and to aid law enforcement officials whenever possible.
I WILL NOT detect in cemeteries.
I WILL NOT litter.
I WILL NOT destroy property, buildings or what is left of ghost towns and deserted structures.
I WILL NOT tamper with signs, structural facilities or equipment.
As much as our hobby depends on us following these few simple rules. It only makes us, as a whole, look good. Remember that all detectorists may be judged by the example you set. Always conduct yourself with courtesy and consideration for others.
