Here are just a few of his keys to good conduct in the field: Publisher Garrett Electronics Inc. •Never trespass or hunt on private property without permission. • National and state parks/monuments, etc. are absolutely off-limits. • Always fill in every hole that you dig. • Do not leave litter or other discarded junk items lying around. • Always carry out all rubbish and dug targets with you when you leave a search area. • Use reasonable caution in digging toward any target, particularly in areas where you are uncertain of the ground conditions. • Keep informed on and obey all local and national legislation relating to the discovery and reporting of found treasures.
