01What you are confirming
You own the land or you have the owner's authority to allow access to it. If it is tenanted, leased or under a conservation easement, you have checked that detecting is not excluded.
You will tell us about anything on the ground that a visitor needs to know: wells, old workings, unstable ground, livestock, spray schedules, hunting season.
02You stay in control
You set the day rate. You choose the days. You approve or decline every request by name. You can block dates, pause the listing or take it down at any time, and nothing obliges you to accept anybody.
03Your address stays private
The listing shows an approximate area to the public. The exact location, the entrance and any access notes go only to a detectorist with a confirmed booking, for the days booked.
04Finds
You decide the terms and they are written into the search agreement before anyone arrives. Our standard terms split finds equally by value. You can require that everything is shown to you before it leaves, that nothing leaves at all, or any other arrangement you prefer.
Some things are nobody's to keep. Human remains, marked or unmarked graves, and Native American cultural items are governed by federal and state law. If they turn up, work stops and it is reported. The Finds and Ethics Code explains it.
05Getting paid
Payment is taken from the detectorist when they book and released to you after the visit. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe, usually within two working days.
06If something goes wrong
Report damage within seventy two hours with photographs. We will suspend the account, give you the signed agreement and the booking record, and put you in direct contact. Pursuing a claim is yours to do, and we do not underwrite it, so keep your own liability cover in place.
07Tax
What you earn from access is income and it is yours to declare. We report payouts where the law requires and will give you a summary for your records.
