Target Recovery; Recovery Tools - Fisher CZ-7a PRO Quicksilver Operating Manual

TARGET RECOVERY

Once you have identified and pinpointed your target, your
objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving virtually
no trace of your excavation. There are almost as many ways
to do this as there are Treasure Hunters. Whatever works for
you is good enough as long as you don't break any laws,
damage vegetation, or leave uncovered holes.
Generally speaking, beachcombers do little if any damage
to the environment while recovering targets. However, if you
plan to use your CZ-7a Pro on lawns or in parks, your target
recovery methods can be very important. Two of the most
successful methods are illustrated in a separate booklet
enclosed with your CZ-7a Pro.
Whichever method you choose, remember that responsible
treasure hunters take pride in their ability to leave soil and
vegetation intact and undamaged.

Recovery Tools

1. A heavy-duty, blunt screwdriver is commonly
used by expert Treasure Hunters and is the tool of
choice for cut lawns.
2. A sturdy hunting knife with a 5-inch blade will
do the job on most other soils. A high-quality
double edge "survival" knife is an even better
(and more expensive) choice because it will be
almost impossible to bend or break.
CAUTION: Using a knife without a locking blade
is a good way to lose a finger!
3. A narrow garden trowel will work in loose or
wet soil.
4. Several excellent digging tools are made just
for the Treasure Hunter, and specially designed
sand scoops are available for beachcombing.
5. A thin, dull probe is the preferred tool for
precise target location.
