Historic agreement on a first code of practice for metal detecting
http://www.finds.org.uk/news/story.php?newsID=167
" The agreement covers three aspects of metal
detecting. The first section,`Before you go
metal-detecting', states you must obtain
permission to search from the landowner,
adhere to laws concerning protected sites, join
an official metal-detecting club and follow
conservation advice.
`Whilst you are detecting' states that findspots
should be recorded as accurately as possible,
that ground disturbance should be minimal and
that the Country Code should be respected.
Finally it offers advice on procedures after you
have been detecting. Any and all finds should be
reported to the land-owner and the Portable
Antiquities Scheme, detectorists must abide by
the provisions of the Treasure Act and must
seek expert help if they find something large or
an object made from unusual material and that
they must call the police if they discover any
human remains."
