TREASURE HUNTER'S CODE OF ETHICS 
1. Respect the rights and property of others. 
2. Observe all laws, whether national, state, or local. Aid law enforcement officials 

whenever possible. 
3. Never destroy priceless historical or archaeological treasures. 
4. Leave the land and vegetation as it was. Fill in all holes. 
5. Remove all trash and litter when you leave. 
6. All treasure hunters may be judged by the example you set. Always obtain permission 
before searching any site. Be extremely careful with your probing, picking up and 

discarding of trash, and ALWAYS COVER YOUR HOLES. 
ASSEMBLY 
Carefully unpack your new detector and check to see that you have all the parts shown in 
Fig. 1. 
ASSEMBLY: Assemble the detector by placing the search coil and lower rod assemblies into 
the upper rod and control housing assemblies as shown in Fig.1. Wrap the coil cable as 

shown and connect to the coil socket as shown. 
NOTE: Prior to use, you will need to install the units batteries - refer to the section on
