Treasure Hunting – The Unusual Ways
By Steven Gillman
We never thought about it as treasure hunting, but as kids we searched the bushes and alleys for empty bottles that were returnable for a deposit. Looking back on it, I realize that this is the essence of treasure hunting. We were never sure what we would find, but always hopeful that peaking into the next bush would reveal our “treasure.” We were excited by our finds, of course, and eager to cash them in so we could buy candy at the nearest store.
Interestingly, this is actually a fairly profitable treasure hunting activity for some adults now. Since the various deposit laws have gone into effect in many states, almost all cans and bottles are worth ten cents each. When I lived in Traverse City, Michigan, Read more

Treasure Tools

Metal has long been a coveted material in human civilization. Our means of trade used to be made from precious metals such as gold and silver. While in the past, finding metal, precious or otherwise, may have proven to be a challenge. With present technology though, metal detectors help us easily identify the presence of metal in usually indistinguishable environments.
Since metal detecting is such an important task, it is important to use the best metal detector. However, trying to find the best metal detector is not as simple as going into a shop and asking for one. First, you will have to establish what type of job you will need to achieve. This of course will determine what type of metal detector you need.
For instance, Read more

Ways in Which to Enhance Your Metal Detecting Experience
By J C Christian
The first requirement for anybody to become successful as a treasure hunter is that they choose a quality metal detector which best meet their needs and objectives. If you are going to do some treasure hunting you need to consider what kind of treasure you are going to look for and how often you will be going out doing it. It is also important that you consider just how much you want to spend (keep in mind that the cost of a metal detector can start from as little $100 and cost more than $1,000). Plus if you wish to become a successful treasure hunter then you need to determine how much you already know or are willing to learn about operating a metal detector. Once you have considered all these points you should now be able to invest in an instrument that is not only easy to use but will help you to achieve your goals.

Hunting for Treasure
By A J Wilkinson
Treasure hunting is a fun activity that nearly anyone can do. I explain where to look for gold and/or treasure and what to do after you find treasure.
First of all, we need to know what to look for. If you are hunting gold, you should do some research on the area you plan to go. You would want to know if there have been gold findings near by and the geology, just to name a few things.
Beach hunting does not require as much research to get started and almost any public beach is open to metal detecting.
Cleaning your gold can raise it’s value. If you plan on selling them, remember that a gold nugget is worth more than normal spot price because of the rarity. Some forms of precious metals are generally worth more than others and any larger gold nugget can be worth around two to four times spot price. In other words, at 700 dollars an ounce, a one ounce gold nugget could be worth between 1,400-2,800 dollars.
Now, back to treasure hunting. If you plan on going beach hunting, you should Read more

Treasure Hunts On Land
By Aldian Prakoso
Another form of treasure hunting takes place on dry land.
In the old days, when bankers were often corrupt, or farmers and businessmen simply preferred to keep track of their own money, valuable items were often stored for safekeeping in some pretty strange places.
The most popular stories you may hear often involve a crazy old rich coot burying his treasure under a certain landmark, such as a special rock or a specific tree.
How much truth lies in the story is hard to determine, unless Read more
