Members of the Murfreesboro Metal Detecting Club take great pride in our hobby and we want to enjoy our hobby in an ethical manner. We have a set of standards that we make every effort to abide by in all situations.

​

* I will respect private property and will not metal detect without the property owner's permission.

* I will not destroy property, buildings, or what is left of ghost towns and deserted structures.

* I will never litter, always pack out what I take in, and remove the trash found while detecting.

* I will leave all gates and other accesses to land as found.

* I will not damage natural resources, wildlife habitats, or any private property.

* I  will use thoughtfulness, consideration, and courtesy at all times.

* I will abide by all laws, ordinances, or regulations that may govern my search or the area I will be in.

* I will fill all holes, regardless of how remote the location, and never dig in a way that will damage, be damaging to, or kill any vegetation.

* I will be an ambassador for the metal detecting hobby and the Murfreesboro Metal Detecting Club.
