(1). That there be absolutely no foolishness or stupid behavior to be found in ANY part of your show(s).
(2). That you agree to Post the list of the Treasure Hunting Code of Ethics and make sure that the viewing Audience is made FULLY aware that these Codes are "heavily" followed by those of us who consider ourselves "REAL" Treasure Hunters. That infractions of these Codes are dealt with accordingly.
(3). That you show in your films what us Real Treasure Hunters actually do in order to gain Permission to search the sites we search and how closely we respect local laws.
(4). That you show in your films the true diligence we employ in our quests for treasures regardless of their forms.
(5). That show the real excitement we experience when we make that next find whether it is a Mercury Head Dime or a bar of Gold.
(6). That you can or will agree to, for lack of a better word, compartmentalize each facet of Treasure Hunting in each aspects given area such as coin hunting, underwater searching, BOTH, shallow and deep water versions.
(7). That you show the amount of detailed work we actually do in planning our next hunt such as map reading, phone calls, Land Deeds, PR efforts, and the way we obtain permission for our hunts.
(8). That you show just how closely we work with Law Enforcement to help recover items pertaining to crime scenes.
(9).That you show is as the regular Family type people we really are.
(10). That you strive to show that we "REALLY" do not act like the morons that have "displayed" themselves like they have to date.
(11). That you show "TRUE" values for any items recovered instead of the bloated insane prices we have seen on these shows filmed so far and that "NOTHING" is "PLANTED." in any episode.
(12). That you show just how much we strive to work with the local communities , police, museums and historical societies in the areas we search.
If you can agree with the above Conditions. I myself will make myself available to you as a guide in your current endeavors. To show that I am serious in regards to my above words you may email me "DIRECTLY" at my email address which I will send you.
Please be aware that the "ENTIRE" Treasure Hunting Community "World Wide" is watching you and that I fully intend to make "ALL" things known to them as well for they are my first true love. That in doing so you will then in fact be making a REAL TREASURE HUNTING SHOW " truly worthy of real time Television.
SINCERELY: PEACE:RONB
