preciate it man

Your lucky other folks are understanding. I for one read exactly what you were putting out clear as day. Bored much?

I'm a real treasure hunter!

 

[ISmellGold]

I'm a new treasure hunter who wants to get some ideas and help. I don't count metal detecting everywhere as treasure hunting, I call that scavenging. I would say a treasure hunter is a person who looks into old stories, drives there and digs it up or finds it. When I saw a website called Treasurenet, I thought there would be a bunch of treasure hunters I could talk to, not just a bunch of people finding random coins in the ground. If there is anyone who is like that here, would you please comment and give me some details about your past hunts?

You should probably go after some Civil War "Union Traiter" Gold, you know the guys that were in on the Lincoln hit and takeover. Those are the ones that are in fashion right now.

A kid addressing someone who's been through more than they could dream of and would have them running for mommy if they went through a fraction of it, old enough to be their father with "preciate it man".

this thread just has me thinking… my entire Collection is probably 40 percent iron (horse tack, farm implements etc) and worth 50 dollars at best 🤣.) definitely not treasure from a monetary standpoint. Folks that are into local history (such as myself) are captivated by some of my finds. We can talk about 1800s cypress logging all day. It’s different when you hand them a “log dog “ that was actually used. I know this was off topic, but just felt compelled to share my views.

Ben Gates has apologized, so let's please give him a chance...

Can’t put that one back in the bottle. Better off deleting this thread and properly starting over fresh if it’s expected folks will open up and share info.

Wait a minute...... This guy is famous!!!!

Benjamin Gates

Benjamin Gates is the protagonist of the National Treasure film series. Ben Gates is a well-educated history fanatic with a maverick's sense of adventure. His interest in the past comes from his own family lineage, as his ancestors had roles in some of America's historic events. The family's...

Yes, I'm finding random coins, rings, etc. While your out try to find civil war gold, I'll be taking my entire family to Italy on those results.... (18 of us!)

 

[Tnmountains]

Georgia has gold,sunken treasures, Indian artifacts and gold coins.Plus you had a civil war burn right down the middle of the state. Start local and hone your skills.The more tools you have to aid your hunt the better.

I'm actually not that understanding.

I'm actually not that understanding.

The opening post was arrogant as heck on purpose. Luckily other people innocently gave this guy the benefit of the doubt. You Roger that? I read his post loud and clear.

Oops I didn’t understand that at first ha ha! I read it as “I’m not understanding that.” A bit dyslexic. Can you hear me now?

To the OP, what kind of stories are you interested in? I have stacks of them that I’d share.

 

[scavenger1]

Yeah I'm a SCAVENGER and proud of it. While you in the library reading books on that special site, I'm already in that same site busting it out and hammering it like it's a $2 whore stripping it clean of its artifacts and not even covering my holes to boot... lol
Just messing with you BenGatesJr.2010, seriously though researching is pretty cool and I done my share of it, like you I'm new here and disappointed that there's not more of that on this forum.

So what treasure have you found? And what are you working on now?

Hi BGJ,

The following can also be said of treasure hunting:
"70% of all archaeology is done in the library. Researching. Reading."

70% research, and 29.9% trying to figure out how to get funding for the excavation.
As soon as I win the Powerball, I have a handful of digs I want to perform.

The Oak Island guys were successful in getting advertisers to fund their adventure.
You got to give them credit for that.
