TREASURE HUNTERS’ CODE OF ETHICS
LETS PRESERVE OUR TREASURED SPORT!
Laws governing the use of metal detectors are becoming
more and more common. In many countries, the use of metal
detectors is illegal or severely restricted. Don’t let this happen
in your area.
ALWAYS
get permission to hunt on private property.
ALWAYS
leave a site cleaner than you found it. Take at least
some trash with you or, if you can, take it all.
ALWAYS
fill in your holes neatly whether you’re in a city park or
remote wildernessness. Leave the land as it was before you
disturbed it.
ALWAYS
obey all laws relating to Treasure Hunting.
ALWAYS
return valuable property if you can locate the original
owner.
ALWAYS
do whatever you can to give the hobby of Treasure
Hunting the good image it needs and deserves.
Your 1212-X doesn’t require a lot of care, but there are a few
things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition.
1.
If you’re not going to be using it for awhile, take
the batteries out. Acid damage caused by a
leaking battery can be severe.
2.
Avoid extreme temperatures like those inside a
closed car sit- ting in the sun. Even worse, inside
the trunk of a car.
3.
If you “scrub” the search coil on the ground, you’ll
eventually wear through the bottom. Replacement
coils are expensive. Instead, invest in an
inexpensive coil cover.
4.
Put a plastic bag or Fisher’s optional rain cover over
the control housing if you’re hunting in rain, fog or
dust.
5.
Keep your 1212-X dry and clean. Wipe off the lower
stem before sliding it into the upper stem and keep
the slip nut free of sand and dirt.
