TREASURE HUNTER’S 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 ll in your holes neatly whether you’re in a city park or remote
wilderness. 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.
Your ID Excel doesn’t require a lot of care. It’s built with high-quality
materials. But there are a few things you should do to keep it in
peak operating condition.
1. If you’re not going to be using it for a while,
take the batteries out. Acid damage caused by
leaking batteries can be severe.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures. Don’t leave it inside
a closed car that’s sitting in the sun. Or even worse,
the trunk of a car.
3. If you “scrub” the search coil on the ground, you’ll
eventually wear through the bottom of the coil.
Replacement coils are expensive. Instead, invest in
a coil cover; they’re cheap.
4. Keep your ID Excel dry and clean. If you’ve been
working in or around dust, wipe it down with a damp
cloth and dry it with a hair dryer (low or no heat) or a
dry cloth. Remove and clean the lower stem. Keep
the lock nuts free of sand and dirt.
