Anyone know what happened to Attorney Renchart's attempts in the early 1900s to secure an agreement with the Mexican government to allow his client to search & extract a cache of buried gold near Monterrey, Mexico? Apparently, the gold was buried by ex-Confederate US soldiers who turned into...

As a newbie I've been reading non-stop to learn the history of the Southwest Frontier. One thing I noticed here on TN is the vast majority of legends, finds & interests of treasure hunters have been in Arizona & New Mexico, which mainly have been Jesuit, Franciscan, Dominican Mission & Aztec era...
Hello! Been AGES since I've posted. Scored 25 cent silver spoon at a thrift store. Possibly 2 silver ones. Can anyone help me identify the small Dutch one? Is it silver or not? Has markings but not sure. I know the other is (even though it looks goldish for some reason) because it says Sterling...
Hey guys, I was recently contacted by a local person with a personal treasure story.
Apparently this woman's ex-boyfriend buried a box with several gold bars in their back yard. It was meant to be a surprise for her but he tragically died in a car crash and didn't get the opportunity to...
I have been researching Benedict Arnolds lost gold on his way to Quebec in 1775. I've found the maps, read the accounts of a couple journals, and even his letters to George Washington. I can't seem to find anywhere where he, or anyone for that matter confirms losing a chest full of gold on the...
My brother and I found this in an auction lot. It’s an 18k Gold medallion / medal. I googled around for a bit and came up with a few facts: Carbonavi is part the Lolli-Ghetti family shipping empire. The ship “Mey Lolli-Ghetti” was built In 1967 in Mahgra shipping yard. The ships registries...
If anybody has any thoughts I found a 17oz rock. I broke up yesterday that registered gold on my monster 1000. In both settings here is some pictures before and after breaking it up. No visible gold seen. It looks like Pyrite to me but have not heard of pyrite setting monster 1000 off in gold...
I have been researching a myth told by my grandparents. I believe I'm very close to discovering a treasure in Newton. The information most people have provided about this treasure is not actually accurate due to the changes from the 1800s to today. With the flood that would have swept away or...
Hello this is my first post here. I live in Buckeye with the white tank mountains in my back yard. I do a lot of single track dirt biking in the white tanks, and then all the mountains over by lake pleasant in Morristown. While riding in a wash in Morristown I seen a small opening in this over...

So I haven't posted in a while, but this one rang up on my Equinox 600, and I was pretty stoked. 18k gold ring, 17g.
I need some info on this, because I'm getting mixed reviews. Some say the motto "In Hoc Signo Vinces" makes it definitely Templar Masons, others say the scimitar makes it...
So I’ve been researching this story thoroughly, they’re on the run with vigilantes on their tail, run around mount Logan through Geneva gulch and a horse dies, then they go to the headwaters of deer creek, see an old mine shaft and hastily bury the loot, and stabbed a knife into a dead tree to...
Found this cleaning out my grandparents house. Seems to be Bangor Punta branded with a Smith & Wesson logo. It has my great grandfather's name on it but I have no clue what it is. I've searched everywhere with no luck. I'm not looking to sell it but does anyone happen to know what it is and it's...
Greetings to all treasure hunters.
I sincerely wish everyone a successful hunt in search of relics.
For those who are interested in the topic of my first story, I decided to continue, in the form of a short cycle - "questions and answers". (if someone is interested in the topic, you can join a...
We have been finding amazing things but help with maps could be great. We have found stone heads and turtles. Even heart shaped rocks. If you can really help with maps email me. [email protected]
This is a great article about artisanal mining in Africa and the latest technology for mapping paleochannels. It's cool to see the contrast between old and new.

I was recently in a area and found a number of rocks I had just put in my pockets at the time and just broke them up this past weekend. Have a look at the pictures and tell me if you think it is gold. My tub is 4 inches round and 5 inches deep thick with material.
I think it is all loaded with...

Hi, I just bought the Garrett AT Max. Will you guys let me know from your experience, or even from just reading or hearing others speak of which are the best beaches from “More likely” to “Less likely” to find treasures? Thanks
I have a question? Has anyone one ever located blue clay in New York state. I recently ran across some blue clay in our creek bed while panning.
Western NY region. I will get a photo this week of the clay. What does it mean?
Found bits of silver and one little 14k earring for $2 in total.
Question: is this worth selling at a pon shop? I know it's really small amount but if I build it up should I sell there? No one will buy mismatch earrings...maybe some like the clasp could be sold to jewelry makers. What do you think?
Hi everyone! Are there any treasure hunters that want to make a little money off their find? I lost a gold ring in a park while my wife and I were taking pictures. It wasn’t my wedding ring, per se, but still a very special ring that my wife gave me after our wedding. Lots of sentimental value...

Panning Irish Gold to add to our collections.
Thanks to our friend Roy Spence from Dirt Locker Mining me and Gary get to add some very nice gold from Ireland to our collections.
we check the package with Gary's Minelab SDC 2300 to see what in the bags !!!
I spent yesterday playing in the river with my propointer and ATpro and found 5 bricked cell phones (one has an SD card we are going to return to the owner) a sterling ring, and this chonky gold ring. It's pretty crude which makes me think it may be from an amateur jeweler in South America. Its...
Hi all,
I recently found out about the wreck of the SS Clara Nevada in Alaska in 1898. It's a really interesting and confounding mystery. Supposedly there was gold in the ship when it sunk.
Has anyone here tried to find the wreck? Had any successes? Anyone have opinions about the wreck?

Hi everyone!
Here's my situation. I never used a gold detector before, but I would like to buy one and I need advice on which one to buy. However, me and my hubby do have experience in panning for gold so we know our terrain. Here's what I need/would like :
- usable in wet conditions (jungle)...
Can I beat @Two Toes with his own Metal Detector ?We head back to finish off a few spots we left from our last trip out. Gary found some good gravel so he decided to run it though his Sluice box while I was happy to use his Minelab SDC 2300 while he was busy sluicing !!!! Those targets that we...
