TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS
• Always check Federal, State, County and local laws before searching.
• Respect private property and do not enter private property without the
owner’s permission.
• Take care to refill all holes and leave no damage.
• Remove and dispose of any and all trash and litter found.
• Appreciate and protect our inheritance of natural resources, wildlife and
private property.
• Act as an ambassador for the hobby; use thoughtfulness, consideration and
courtesy at all times.
• Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures.
• All treasure hunters may be judged by the example you set; always conduct
yourself with courtesy and consideration of others.
ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Armrest
The armrest may be moved
forward or backward by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece armrest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the armrest more comfortable in
the forward position. In order to
move the armrest backward, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Armrest Strap
(Optional accessory)
The armrest Strap accessory can
be purchased separately. Some
users prefer to use the strap when
swinging the detector vigorously, in
order to hold the detector securely
against the arm.
The detector can always be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.
