Hallowed Ground

Hello, all. I was curious to know if anybody knows whether there are special rules associated with digging/metal detecting hallowed ground. I'm just a Baptist, so I don't know much about how hallowed ground works, only that Anglicans and Catholics seem to care about it. While visiting a historic Anglican church in Nova Scotia they said strangers and the unbaptized couldn't be buried in the main cemetery, which was considered hallowed ground. I've looked around online, but I can't find any rules about whether or not a person would be allowed to dig there. It would generally be a bad idea to dig in a cemetery, so I was thinking more like in the church yard. I've had permission to dig church yards in the past, but I've never asked at an Anglican or Catholic church before.
 
For most of us cemeteries are a no no. As for the church yard, if you get permission, go for it.
