b) During operation
• Digging and recovery of a find is entirely subject to your responsibility. When the device dis-
plays a find, remember that it may be ammunition or other explosives instead of a valuable
object. Danger to life! In such cases, stop digging at once, secure the location with a safety
distance and inform the local authorities (e.g. police) at once.
• Children should only use metal detectors under adult supervision.
• Finds must only be unearthed by adults in any case.
• Look ahead when walking. Never look down. There may be dangers, such as a slope, street or
similar, ahead!
c) General information on operation
Finding hidden metal objects is a hobby that is great fun and comes with exciting experiences.
However observe that all countries have provisions for excavations. It is in your own interest to
inform yourself on these.
Do not enter any archaeologically valuable or known sites if you are not authorised to do so. If
you find objects of archaeological value, contact a museum or a local authority.
