TREASURE HUNTERS’ CODE OF ETHICS DEPTH LETS PRESERVE OUR TREASURED SPORT! The GEMINI-3 was designed to locate large, deep objects such as an iron chest, pipe or an ore vein. It will not detect small coin- sized objects. A quart jar full of coins, however, may be detected Laws governing the use of metal detectors are becoming one-to-three feet deep. A 55-gallon drum may be detected as more and more common. In many countries, the use of metal deep as 10 feet. A very large object, like an
