THE DETECTORIST'S CODE

🤝 The main rules

• **Fill in your holes!** Rule #1. An open hole is an injury risk for livestock and a surefire way to earn locals' contempt
• **Respect property** — don't climb fences or go onto planted fields
• **Clean up trash** — dug up a bottle cap? Take it with you

💣 Dangerous finds (UXO)

The echoes of war are still in the ground.

• **Don't touch:** Shells, mines, grenades. Even rusty ones are dangerous
• **Don't disassemble:** Fuses are unpredictable
• **What to do:** Mark the spot, move away, and call the emergency services. Don't play hero

📜 Legality

• **Protected sites** — digging is prohibited
