Event Rules:

1. All holes must be filled properly, regardless of the land conditions.

4. Any hoard finds or items that may qualify as treasure must be reported immediately to our admin team, who will advise you and take charge of any extraction.
5. Please do not attempt to remove hoard or treasure items yourself. You may disturb important archaeological information and could be breaking the law.
6. All finds of interest should be shown and recorded by your Finds Liaison Officer (FLO).
7. All detectorists must carry a finds pouch or bag to collect every metal item they recover.
8. Respect the land and the landowner’s wishes. Close any gates you open and do not disturb livestock.

11. If you have confirmed your attendance but can no longer attend, you must inform the organisers by email as soon as possible.
12. Anyone found breaking these rules will be asked to leave and may be banned from future events.

By booking and paying for any of our digs, you confirm that you agree to all the terms and conditions listed above.

You also agree to a 50/50 split with the landowner on all items legally deemed to be treasure.

Any non-treasure item valued at £1,000 or more will also be split 50/50 with the landowner.

These terms are not negotiable. In some circumstances, the landowner may make a different request; if so, this will be stated clearly in the event description.

Please make sure your email address is correct when booking.
