Terms of service & disclaimer

Acceptance

By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these terms and by our privacy policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Informational purpose only

All content on this site is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes. It reflects the personal opinions and experience of the author at the time of writing. It is not professional advice, and it is not a guarantee of any particular result.

Accuracy and product information

We make a genuine effort to be accurate, but specifications, availability, model revisions, and prices change constantly and without notice. Nothing on this site should be treated as a current, binding statement of a product's specification or price. Always verify details with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.

Detection depth, target identification, and performance claims vary enormously with soil conditions, target size and orientation, and technique. Any figures given here are illustrative, not promises.

Affiliate links

This site contains affiliate links and earns commissions from qualifying purchases, as described in our affiliate disclosure. Your transaction is with the retailer, not with us. We are not a party to any purchase and have no control over pricing, stock, shipping, returns, warranty service, or the goods themselves.

Responsible detecting is your responsibility

Metal detecting is subject to laws, permits, and landowner permissions that vary by country, state, and individual site. Detecting is prohibited in many protected areas, including US national parks. Mining claims and private land are private property.

You are solely responsible for confirming that detecting is permitted where you intend to hunt, for obtaining any required permission or permit, for reporting finds where the law requires it, and for the condition in which you leave a site. We accept no liability arising from your detecting activity.

Safety

Digging carries real risks — buried utilities, sharp metal, broken glass, contaminated ground, unstable terrain, and tides. Never dig where underground services may run. If you uncover anything resembling ordnance, ammunition, or a weapon, do not handle it; leave the area and contact the appropriate authorities. You assume all risk for your own safety.

Intellectual property

The content, design, illustrations, and code on this site are owned by Metal Detector Nerd and protected by copyright. You may quote short excerpts with clear attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, or reproduce the site's content for commercial purposes, without written permission.

Product names, brand names, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification and commentary only. Their use does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use this site to break the law, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to it, to interfere with its operation, or to scrape it in a way that degrades service for others.

Third-party links

This site links to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, products, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Disclaimer of warranties

This site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Metal Detector Nerd and its author shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content — including any purchasing decision made on the basis of a review.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Changes

We may revise these terms at any time. The effective date above will change, and continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
