Fill holes and obey NO TRESPASSING signs. A sincere
request that Charles Garrett makes to every user of one
of his detectors is that each hunt site be left in better
condition than it was found. Thousands of individuals
and organizations have adopted this formal Metal
Detector Operators Code of Ethics:
I will respect private and public property, all
historical and archaeological sites and will not
conduct metal detector searches on these
lands without proper permission.
I will keep informed about and obey all laws,
regulations and rules governing federal, state
and local public lands.
I will aid law enforcement officials whenever
possible.

I will not cause willful damage to property of any
kind, including fences, signs and buildings and
will always fill holes I dig.
I will not destroy property, buildings or the
remains of ghost towns and other deserted
structures.
I will not leave litter or uncovered items lying
around. I will carry all trash and dug targets
with me when I leave each search area.
I will observe the Golden Rule, using good
outdoor manners and conducting myself at all
times in a manner which will add to the stature
and public image of all people engaged in the
field of metal detection.
