The following is a Code of Ethics that many treasure hunters and
clubs follow to preserve our exciting sport of metal detecting. We
encourage you to do the same:
• I will respect private and public property, all historical and
archaeological sites and will do no metal detecting on these
lands without proper permission.
• I will keep informed on and obey all local and national
legislation relating to the discovery and reporting of found
treasures.
• I will aid law enforcement officials whenever possible.
• I will cause no willful damage to property of any kind, including
fences, signs and buildings.
• I will always fill the holes I dig.
• I will not destroy property, buildings or the remains of deserted
structures.
• I will not leave litter or other discarded junk items lying around.
• I will carry all rubbish and dug targets with me when I leave
each search area.
• I will observe the Golden Rule, using good outdoor manners
and conducting myself at all times in a manner which will add
to the stature and public image of all people engaged in the
field of metal detection.
Metal Detecting Code of Ethics
When searching for treasure with your Garrett detector, observe these
precautions:
• Never trespass or hunt on private property without permission.
• National and state parks / monuments and military zones, etc.
are absolutely off-limits.
• Avoid areas where pipelines or electric lines may be buried. If
found, do not disturb and notify proper authorities.
• Use reasonable caution in digging any target, particularly if you
are uncertain of the conditions.
• If you are unsure about using your metal detector in any area,
always seek permission from the proper authorities.
Cautions
Your Garrett detector is rugged, designed for outdoor use. However, as
with all electronic equipment, there are some simple ways you can care
for your detector to maintain its high performance.
• Avoid extreme temperatures as much as possible, such as storing the
detector in an automobile trunk during the summer or outdoors in
sub-freezing weather.
• Keep your detector clean. Disassemble the stem and wipe it, the
control housing, and the searchcoil with a damp cloth when necessary.
• When storing for longer than one month, remove the batteries from
the detector.
• When changing batteries, use quality alkaline or rechargeable
batteries, and replace with all new batteries for optimum performance.
• Replace the protective cover on the connector when hunting without
headphones or when using wireless headphones that do not require
being plugged in.
