Hunt Participants Responsibility.

​

During the hunt, each detectorist in the hunt should act responsible towards other detectorist by not taking another’s targets or infringe on another detectorist hunt space or by overlaying their coil upon another's coil. The hunt is competitive but should be practiced in a socially acceptable manner by all participants. 

Treat everyone during a competition event like you would want to be treated- fairly and with respect. 

Remember that each participant will have a different skill level: some will be faster and others slower, but all of the participants paid an admission fee to enter the hunt and deserve the same opportunity to find targets and have respect.
