is there any treasure you would love to go after but trying or even finding it would be condsidered in bad taste. An example I think would be going to an Amecian indian burial ground no offence meant this is just a personal isssue to myself. Or is there a time when it is alright to do so I would love to goto a first world war site but the problem is I trend to pick up I wouldent use the word vision but more the feelings that an area like that would have it actullay makes me drepressed for several hours but like I say each to his own.
 

I understand there is a hot market for skulls!

Also you can sell the bones to Giants who grind their bones to make their bread.

Personally I am only interested in gold.

I will wait until you guys dig the body up and take the gold off. Then I can rob you guys. Okay? :)

I'll keep the gold and write you a check?
 

A check?! >:(

Good grief, don't you have paypal or something?

Get with the times, man!

Never mind, I will just follow strike it rich around. I understand he only finds gold 18k and higher. ;D
 

A 14 year old boy found this Calusa Indian gold when he stumbled upon an apparent burial ground, a fact that troubled him so much, after weeks of nightmares, Rommie David Taylor hanged himself from a tree. Here is a link to the sad story "Cursed"
http://outside.away.com/outside/magazine/1096/9610ot.html

It's still not known for certain exactly where the boy was digging, but Marquardt believes that he had stumbled upon a burial ground. Apparently, David Taylor found the medallion among several human ribs--a fact that appears to have troubled the boy.

"He grew increasingly nervous as the weeks passed," Lorraine told me. "He had always been a very good student, but suddenly he was having trouble concentrating on his homework. I know he was having nightmares, and he seemed to be obsessed with thoughts of Indians. It really bothered him that he'd dug up a grave."

Lorraine also had nightmares. In one, she and her son were standing in water up to their necks. The boy held the gold medallion in his hand. Then he dropped it. She begged him not to go after it, but he laughed and disappeared beneath the water's surface.

Three days after she experienced this dream, David Taylor hanged himself from a tree.

There is a bridge here that goes over a river just a few miles away from me,and about 3 years ago they wanted to move the bridge over about 40 feet to better control the traffic and started to excavate the pilings at the river bank and uncovered a 300 year old Indian burial site.They stopped all the work and the state declared it sacred ground in which the remains and everything there lay buried till this day,as did the bridge(they never moved it after the discovery.)
 

I would plunder stuff myself....Theres not to much I would not want....Never did have much taste myself.....I mean hell the dead people don't really care to much...If someone wants my bones someday let them have them, I'm not going to be using them anymore anyway.......
 

The Only type of Treasures I find Distastefull
to go after are seized Items at Government Sales.
Items Stolen by the Courts & sold at Auction.
and of course Properties Stolen for Back Taxes.

Anything Else, as Long as I can Obtain Permission to Go after
is Fair Game.
