Treasure Hunting Safety

While you are treasure hunting on dry land, it is important to use proper safety
equipment to protect yourself from injury.

When you are searching in dusty areas, or may be sifting through dirt, it's a good
idea to wear safety glasses. Even sunglasses or reading glasses can protect your
eyes from dust or dirt particles.

Gloves are always a good idea when you are doing any digging or sifting. If there is broken glass or
sharp metal in the ground, you could seriously cut Yourself if you aren't wearing gloves. This is especially
important when you are using sharp digging tools.

Long pants are a good idea if you will be walking through brush or standing in the sun. Shirts with sleeves are great too to protect your arms from sunburn or scratches. Dressing appropriately will make your treasure hunt a more enjoyable experience.

Proper shoes or boots are very important. If you will be working in a muddy or wet area, rubber or waterproof boots would be a good idea. Shoes with strong soles or even steel toes will protect
your feet from injury should you step on something sharp or have something fall on your foot.

Be very careful about where you search for your treasure. Construction sites, escarpment areas, forest, and abandoned mines may seem like a great place to search. However, these places present very real dangers to inexperienced treasure hunters.

Never enter an unknown area without permission and the proper safety equipment.
Finding a great treasure isn't worth your personal health and safety.
