A lot of people have dreams of finding buried treasure on a nearby beach and so they rent a metal detector to comb those beaches. This looks fun and somewhat romantic even, the idea that coins and valuable artifacts can be found in the sand. But in reality hunting for buried treasure can be something of a long and tedious prospect, especially on beaches that are well populated. written by David Cowley
Getting a good deal on several metal detectors can go a long way in keeping the peace on the home front.

Bounty Hunter metal detectors are lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for any reason you might be using a detector. For example, most models will come with headphones so that you don't need to disturb the neighbors or alert other treasure hunters when you come across something that might be valuable. written by David Cowley
These colorful rocks are more than just your garden variety types of stones. They were actually formed literally billions of years ago, when the North American continent began to split because of molten rocks shifting deep beneath the surface of the ground. Water vapor and carbon dioxide became trapped in areas of these lava flows, forming the colorful rocks we now call agates. Their beautiful and unique striped design is what makes them so treasured. written by David Cowley

You will find them sitting on there front porch of there chosen home with just there antennea sticking and there back end inside the hole.

The real value of the geodes is their appearance when they are halved and polished. Their crystal formations typically come in a wide variety of colors, from deep purple to pink, blue, and even a silvery crystal color. The formations of the rock itself leave a wavy design in the color, and the crystals on the inside emit a fiery glow. Some thunder eggs that have been found are so large that they have been made into furniture, such as coffee or side tables. Adding a base and a glass top makes the rock into a very interesting and sturdy piece of furniture.

The megalodon was a type of giant shark that existed some ten million years ago or so. It was the ultimate predator of the time, feeding on other animals as large as whales. Today it exists only in fossil record, and owning megalodon teeth can be quite the status symbol especially for those that appreciate the history surrounding them.

To find fossil fish you of course need to get off the beaten path a bit. Areas that are developed and suburbanized are probably not going to have many fossils readily found as the construction needed for a city or suburb is going to disturb the ground well below for the foundations of buildings. Most of these ancient fossils are found in areas that are not quite civilized such as in deep caves and caverns or even the dessert.

Not every rock or piece of sediment can actually be classified as a fluorescent mineral; there are only certain elements contained in the rocks that make them so. Scientifically speaking, the rocks need to have a molecular absorption of a particular photon that triggers the emission of another photon with a longer wavelength, thus giving off what looks like light from the rock itself. written by David Cowley
Obviously in order to hunt up some Civil War artifacts you're going to need some equipment. Metal detectors are not just for beach bums anymore, and they have become much more sophisticated and useful in the past few years. For instance, many today have their electronic components built into the headphones you wear, meaning that the stick part of the detector is much lighter than it once was. This eliminates a lot of the arm fatigue you would normally have when hunting down artifacts in a large field. written by David Cowley
Antique bottles are truly a part of history. The different types of bottles tell a story about a particular industry or way of life. For example, medicinal bottles tell us how far the medical industry has come since many elements are now stored in plastic bags. Seeing an old glass IV bottle can take you back decades. written by David Cowley
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have protective regulations in place where states allow the export of wild harvested ginseng. Most states have only late summer and early fall hunting seasons for this valuable root. Regulations vary from state to state so you should contact the state wildlife authorities before your hunting trip. Ginseng must be appraised and state certified before the time of sale which can be done by a certified ginseng buyer or dealer.

Known meteorite impact areas like Barringer Meteor Craterin in Arizona and Odessa Meteor Crater in Texas can also produce good results. written by David Cowley
Real hunting for sunken treasure is not as fictional or fantastic as you might think. There are many scuba centers and guided tours that allow a tourist to scour some of the best sites where treasure might be found. And while many of these scuba centers are located in exotic places like off the coast of the Bahamas or in the Gulf of Mexico, some sunken treasure can be found in much more accessible areas such as off the coast of the Jersey shore and California.
