Provincie Antwerpen
Hertberg: 20 years under provincial ownership
Collaboration with the Province of Antwerp, Hertberg domain, on a project marking 20 years of the Hertberg under the province's ownership.
Recognition and working method
What I can show and how I work, for landowners, municipalities and heritage agencies.
Recognition
Recognised metal detectorist
I am recognised by agentschap Onroerend Erfgoed. Recognition is needed to search for archaeological finds with a metal detector.
How I work
With permission
I only search with the permission of the owner or user of the land.
Reporting finds
I report my archaeological finds via the Onroerend Erfgoed reporting tool.
Rules and code
I work according to the Onroerenderfgoeddecreet and the Code van Goede Praktijk.
Locations stay private
I never publish exact find spots, only the region.
Permissions
Organisations that have previously given me permission to search on their land.
- Municipality of Herselt
- Municipality of Heist-op-den-Berg
- Municipality of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem
- Flemish Land Agency (VLM)
Farmers in Blauberg and Averbode
Farmers in Blauberg and Averbode gave me permission to search their land. It is an ongoing relationship: I come back regularly, work around the crops, leave the land as I found it and show them what I find. Many of them find the history of their own field interesting.
Projects
Want to work together or discuss permission?
I am happy to explain how I work carefully and transparently, and to share an overview of my finds and reports.
