Metal Detecting – Coin Hunting or Coin Shooting Hot Spots
By Robert Benjamin

Coin Hunting or ‘Coin Shooting’ as it’s often called, is not only very fun to do, but it can easily be very profitable. Finding just one gold piece or any rare coin can easily pay for the cost of the metal detector. When it comes to Coin Hunting or ‘Coin Shooting’, there are some places that I call ‘hot spots’, or the best places.

Riverbanks – Ponds – Lakes – Swimming Holes: These locations are true treasure hunting top spots. The Riverbank is a huge area that can provide a lifetime of detecting. River banks were used as ferry crossings, and some had covered bridges with toll stations. The local old timers may be able to tell you where the local fishing and old swimming spots were. Remember many of the old fishing spots were also drinking and partying spots, and at the swimming holes a lot of people took off their outer clothes, losing change as they did. And going back even earlier in the years, folks would take their clothes to the riverbanks to wash them in the water. The same goes for old farm ponds, Read more

By Mike Selvon

Gold coin collecting can be an exciting hobby to take up. After all, who doesn’t enjoy the lure of a shiny gold coin? Maybe you’ve watched movies where villains hunted down valuable Krugerrands, you could have a part of that too, only in your case, buying and selling old rare coins isn’t an illegal activity! Still, it is a hobby with a unique and thrilling flare.

Some of the old rare coins are the most valuable, but most legitimate rare coin dealers warn openly that dealing in the gold collection is more of a neutral investment for your money.

Don’t expect to land huge bargains or get great return on your Sovereigns or Brittanias. Dealers note that the market for gold has stabilized and won’t provide rich profits, but they also point out that gold remains a reliable commodity.

Gold coin collecting can be made even more exciting when Read more

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
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.
