Metal Detector Safety Warnings​

Any piece of equipment can be dangerous if not operated properly. You are responsible for the safe operation of this equipment. Any metal detector may discover explosives, underground power lines, sharp objects, or other items that could cause personal injury.

TreasureHunter3D does not accept responsibility for any personal injury or personal property damage.

To make your search safer, always follow these precautions:

  • Never treasure hunt in a zone where bombs or other explosives may be buried.
  • Never treasure hunt in an area where underground electric lines or pipes may be buried at a shallow depth.
  • Never treasure hunt in an area with flammable gas or liquid pipelines.
  • Always use reasonable caution when digging, especially in areas where you are uncertain of underground conditions.
  • For safety reasons, do not use headphones near traffic or other hazards such as rattlesnakes.

Treasure Hunter's Code of Ethics​

  • Respect the rights and property of others. Do not enter private property without the owner's permission.
  • Always check Federal, State, County, and local laws before searching.
  • Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures.
  • Take care to refill all holes and leave land and vegetation undamaged.
  • Always appreciate and protect natural resources, wildlife, and private property.
  • Remove and dispose of any trash and litter found. Be extremely careful while probing, picking up, or discarding trash items.
