Common collocations include 'ein erfahrener Schatzsucher' (an experienced treasure hunter), 'ein erfolgreicher Schatzsucher' (a successful treasure hunter), and 'ein Schatzsucher mit Metalldetektor' (a treasure hunter with a metal detector). These additions describe experience, success, or typical equipment.

When describing a search, the verb 'suchen' (to search) is followed by the preposition 'nach' (for) with the dative. Therefore, a treasure hunter searches 'nach einem Schatz' (for a treasure), 'nach Gold' (for gold), or 'nach alten Münzen' (for old coins).
Der Schatzsucher suchte nach einem Schatz unter den Steinen.
