Treasure Hunting Begins Inside
By Sally Taylor
If you are like me, you never get enough of the hunt, whether on the search for rocks and gems, fossils, or treasure. Now that the cold, wet weather is putting a damper on outside searches for those in the north, it is prime time for indoor searches. After all, while you can, every once in a while, stumble upon a great place to hunt for treasure while just hoofing around in the wilderness, most productive treasure searches start inside.
The first task in treasure hunting is to figure out where exactly it is that you want
to hunt. It’s best to be realistic. You may have a dream to hunt in the South Sea
Islands, but if you have no means to get there you have much better ways to
spend hours and hours of research. Productive searching close to home may
just help you fund some of your dream searches. So to start, keep it close — somewhere you will actually be able to spend some time searching. Once you
have your target area pinpointed, it’s time to hit the history books and old
newspapers.
The information you are seeking is Read more

The Smart Way To Strike Gold With Metal Detectors
By Steve J Carter
If you’ve lived near a beach, you’ve probably been enchanted by the idea of buried pirate’s treasure, of gold coins and mouldy chests filled to bursting with pearls and rubies. You probably even spent some time searching. More than likely, the most you ever found were a couple of quarters and maybe some random junk jewellery, but you probably remember the excitement when your detector started beeping frantically. While you may not be able to get rich searching for pirate’s gold, there may be at least one other way to cash in on your metal detector.
Metal detectors are fun toys, which you can probably attest to if you used one, but perhaps a little bit disappointing in their actuality. People often forget that metal detectors can only sense metals that are buried a foot or less in the ground, usually in a strata that has been recently turned for one reason or another. Whether they know this or not, Read more

How To Find Hidden Treasure

How To Find Hidden Treasure
By Steven Gillman
Where can you find hidden treasure? Almost anywhere. How can you find it? Here are some new ideas on that.
I was once involved in tearing down an old house. In the attic, hidden underneath the insulation, I found a glass piggy bank of old pennies. I also found a rare old magazine and a few other minor treasures.
Treasure is not always things of obvious value, though. Hidden in the walls of that house was a treasure that at the time never occurred to me: copper tubing. I later discovered that the water lines we paid to have hauled away were sold as valuable scrap by the junk man. It made me wonder what else could be “treasure,” and where else I might find it.

Treasure Hunting with the Troy Metal Detector
By Low Jeremy
People who want to look for buried coins or jewelry should have a dependable metal detector at all times. This will make it easy to discover something when the alarm starts sounding and all the individual has to do after that is dig.
There will be times that the user will find junk while other times, something interesting. Regardless of whatever, at least the person can say that the machine that was purchased works.
One company that has been in the business of metal detection is Troy. Through the years, the firm has developed different models from the Shadow X2 to the X5 that can be used by professionals and amateurs.
The Shadow X2 is the most basic model. It is hand held and comes with an extended waterproof coil at the bottom. This device is battery operated and has a settings box in the center allowing the person to adjust the sensitivity when going treasure hunting.
Unfortunately, this model is quite old and is no longer being produced. This is the reason that those who are really serious about looking for buried treasure can try the Shadow X3 that has more features than the basic model.
This is lighter than the previous model and unlike other brands, this thing is only powered by a single 9 volt alkaline battery. The individual can probably get one of these for $899 in the market.
If anything goes wrong, the company will be happy to fix it since each metal detector has a lifetime guarantee.
Professionals who only want to use the best equipment in the field can never go wrong with the Shadow X5. It looks like the other models but the control switch allows the individual to do other things such as target and discrimination modes enabling the user to start digging within a few inches of the object.
The price for this baby, $1099. A little more expensive that the other models but given the special functions of this machine, the treasure will surely find a lot of things buried underneath especially when this can be used in almost any terrain.
Selecting the right metal detector will take time given that there are many brands in the market. But if the customer wants the best, there is no need to do that especially when Troy metal detectors are available in different models and can be upgraded with other accessories such as a larger coil for the unit.
