Metal Detecting Creed
by Jessie Thompson
We are Metal Detectorist.
Venturing forth in search of relics lost to time, only to be discovered and secured for future generations.
Diligent in our endeavors to detect,
we will not trespass on to posted lands and will always obtain lawful permission in advance.
Detectorist are protective
of earth’s creatures, natures landscapes and tributaries. We close all gates and leave no refuse in our wake.
When requested,
we will endeavor to assist in the recovery of lost items of sentimental value to the best of our ability.
History being the tie that binds us,
any item recovered of a singular significant historical value will be reported to local historians.
Remember Metal Detecting is to be conducted in a respectful and courteous manner; we are the ambassadors of our hobby to all who may survey us.
