Diamonds are Forever!

Finder: Terry S., MNUsing: AT Pro and Pro-Pointer ATFind: Terry discovered this beautiful 14k gold ring with a nice diamond while searching the Minnesota rivers this summer. “The water level in the river had dropped dramatically and it was time to get very serious about detecting,” Terry shared. “I had been waiting for the water level to drop and I planned on using my Garrett Pro-Pointer® AT, a water proof probe to hunt around a bunch of large rocks. I’m so happy with this find. This will probably be my best ring find for the year and if I find nothing better, I still had a good year.” Thank you Terry for sharing this and here’s to next summer for more great recoveries!

• 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.

Garrett’s Code of Detecting EthicsCharles Garrett always urged his fellow searchers to conduct themselves as responsible treasure hunters. He urged all detectorists to leave their hunt areas in better condition than they found it. Here are just a few of his keys to good conduct in the field:
