Treasure Hunter's
Code of Ethics
-
Always check federal, state, county, and local laws before searching.
It is your responsibility to "know the law."
-
Abide by all laws, ordinances or regulations that may govern your search
or the area you will be in.
-
Never trespass. Always obtain permission prior to entering private property,
mineral claims, or underwater salvage leases.
-
Do not damage, deface, destroy, or vandalize any property (including ghost
towns and deserted structures), and never tamper with signs, structures
or equipment at the site.
-
Never litter. Always pack out what you take in, and remove all trash
dug in your search.
-
Fill all holes, regardless how remote the location, and never dig in a
way that will damage, be damaging to, or kill any vegetation.
-
Do not build fires, camp or park in non-designated or restricted areas.
-
Leave all gates and other accesses to land as found.
-
Never contaminate wells, creeks, or any other water supplies.
-
Be courteous, considerate, and thoughtful at all times.
-
Report the discovery of any items of historic significance to the local
historical society or proper authorities.
-
Uphold all finders, search, and salvage agreements.
-
Promote responsible historical research and artifact recovery, and the
sharing of knowledge with others.
-
Appreciate and protect our heritage of natural resources, wildlife and
private property.
-
Use thoughtfulness, consideration, and courtesy at all times.
