Finder: Terry S., MN

Using: AT Pro and Pro-Pointer AT
Find: 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. Im 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
heres to next summer for more great
recoveries!

Charles 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:
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.
