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.
