RECOVERY TOOLS
1. A heavy duty, blunt screwdriver is commonly used 
by expert Treasure Hunters. 
2. A sturdy hunting knife with a 5” blade will do the job 
in most soils. A high quality double-edged “survival” 
knife is an even better (and more expensive) choice 
since it will be almost impossible to bend or break. 
CAUTION: Using a pocket knife without a blade lock 
is a good way to lose a finger! 
3. A narrow garden trowel will work in loose or wet soil. 
4. Several excellent digging tools are made just for 
the Treasure Hunter and especially designed sand 
scoops  are  available  for  beachcombing.  Check 
with your local dealer. 
5. A thin, dull probe is the preferred tool for precise 
target location.
