Clear structure, measurable progress, and an ethics-forward approach — so your finds come with context, care, and credibility.

Research-first methodology

Treasure hunting is mostly desk work. Learn how to narrow sites with maps, records, and terrain logic before you ever swing a coil.

Ethics and care built in

We teach recovery that respects landowners and history. Learn minimal-impact digging, artifact handling, and documentation standards.

Smart practice loops

Short drills + longer field missions. You’ll build skill through structured repetition rather than random weekend guessing.

How it works

A simple path from curiosity to capability — with clear checkpoints and a support layer when you need it.

1

Pick a track + set a goal

Choose Fundamentals, Research, or Safety & Ethics. Set a target outcome: “Plan a permission-ready site” or “Run a clean recovery workflow.”

2

Learn with drills + templates

Use printable checklists and short exercises to build consistent habits: grid planning, signal testing, note-taking, and artifact care steps.

3

Run a field mission

Apply the workflow on a real site with safety planning, permission notes, and an end-of-mission documentation pass.

4

Get guidance when it matters

Use the advisor form for gear selection, search planning, or “what should I do next?” recommendations based on your constraints and goals.

FAQ

Quick answers on legality, gear, and what “responsible detecting” means in practice.

Do I need a metal detector to start?

No. The Research & Maps track is useful without gear. For Fundamentals, you can start with borrowed equipment and still learn core technique.

Is treasure hunting legal?

Rules vary by location. We teach permission workflows, site documentation, and ethics-first decision making to avoid risky or prohibited activity.

What makes this “ethics-first”?

Minimal-impact recovery, careful logging, and respect for landowners and local regulations — with practical checklists to make it easy in the field.

How fast can I improve?

Most students notice better site selection immediately and cleaner recovery within a few sessions. Consistent drills shorten the learning curve.
