Important European Detecting Note
Metal-detecting laws vary significantly between European countries and may also differ by region, municipality, property type, or archaeological designation. Permission from a landowner does not necessarily replace government permits or other legal requirements.
Before traveling or detecting, consult the current laws and official guidance for your destination. Contact the appropriate national, regional, or local authorities when necessary. Rules governing the discovery, reporting, export, or ownership of coins and artifacts may have changed since this book was published.

What's Included
Responsible Detecting & Historic Preservation
Always obtain the required permission before metal detecting. Avoid protected archaeological sites, scheduled monuments, military sites, cemeteries, restricted public lands, and other prohibited locations.
Follow all local requirements for documenting and reporting historic finds. Never remove an object when the law requires it to remain in place or be reported to an appropriate authority. Fill recovery holes carefully, remove discarded trash, respect crops and livestock, and leave every search location in excellent condition.
