If you could live anywhere in the US to look for treasure, where would you live?

147 million ounces to back up a 20 Trillion annual GDP ? What a joke .

I agree, 147,000,000 ounces is worth 170,000,000,000, which is a lot of money, but only a small fraction (.85%) of a $20,000,000,000,000 GDP.

Northern Lower Michigan, although I'd head south for the winter.

The history aint super old, but there's a lot of it.

Logging, homesteads, 20-40's era tourism, small gold prospecting, ghost towns, organized crime, railroads. All kinds of stuff.

And for the less historically motivated, campgrounds, beaches, parks, and stuff like that.

I have hundreds of sites to choose from, always something new.

Where about do you go? I like the Grayling and Kalkaska areas...

The Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's UP, where I'd detect for awesome ancient Old Copper Culture artifacts every moment I could spare and then some.

Can you do State land up there?

Id stay right here in Northern Arkansas. Loads and loads of good finds, and nobody detects here.
