TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS
All treasure hunters might be judged by the example you set. Here are a
few basic rules you should follow while using your detector.
Always get permission before searching any site.
Respect the rights and property of others.
Observe all national, state, and local laws while treasure hunting.
Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures. If you are not
sure about an object you
have found, contact a museum or historical society in your area.
Leave the land and vegetation as it was. Fill in any holes you dig.
Use your detector only in safe areas.
Dispose of any junk you find, only in approved areas. Do not leave it
for the next treasure hunter to find.
PREPARATION
ASSEMBLING THE DETECTOR
Assembling the detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow
these steps.
1. Loosen the stem’s lock nut in the direction of the arrow.
2. Lengthen or shorten the stem, so when you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 1/2 to 2
inches above the ground.
