Conditions
By applying and participating in a England metal detecting adventure tour, You are required and agree to the following conditions for the exporting of any coins/ artefacts found whilst on tour. Roy has set out the information below: Roy has the export licenses forms required to send artefacts out of the UK. After the tour has ended you are required to put all your finds over 50 years old in a bag with your details on it. Roy will then examine your finds and then apply on your behalf for the export license. If any of the artefacts are of greater importance then they can be taken into the local museum where experts will ID and record the item giving you a greater depth of information. The Application takes between two to three weeks or so to be assessed. Once the application has been granted the item will be mailed to the finder with the license attached by secure mail. If any of the items are of great national importance and a license is not granted then the finder still owns the item but it can't be taken out of the country, choices here could be to sell the item or leave it on show in a museum. If a treasure trove is discovered, English law prevails, and the "find" becomes the property of the crown. However, the finder is entitled to receive a reward for full market value. Any information on the treasure trove can be found in the leaflet "The Treasure Act" printed in the UK for the department for Culture, Media and Sport DCMSJ0229NL. July 1997.
