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.
