HOW TO HUNT TREASURE: A Guide to Adventure and Profit The author of "How to Hunt Treasure" has spent most of his life pursuing the "treasure" that exists in infinite variety in the United States - from antiques to art, gold coins to rare documents, antiquarian books to military relics, bank notes to diamonds - and every other type of collectible imaginable. Equally at home with his metal detector on a river bottom or a Civil War battlefield, he also routinely searches auctions, yard sales, flea markets, pawn shops and eBay for unrecognized bargains, and has even placed ads in local publications that bring the "treasure" to his door. His book covers such topics as: * How to hunt Civil War relics - how to locate the sites and utilize the best methods for finding the relics. * Gold, silver, diamonds, and coins - how to test and buy gold and silver, how to grade and buy diamonds and coins. * Coin shooting - the best settings for your metal detector. * Diving for treasure - why you should consider this "last frontier." * Bottle digging/diving - why "privies" and rivers are your best bets. * The incredible opportunities offered by yard and estate sales, auctions, pawn shops, and flea markets. * Indian artifacts - a hobby to be wary of. * The tools of the trade - the metal detector, the probe, the seine, the eye, etc. * The importance of maintaining records. * Methods used to clean and preserve dug relics - details of electrolytic cleaning. * eBay - how to use it for research, how to buy and sell intelligently. * Advertising for treasure - perhaps the most lucrative method for acquiring treasure. * The importance of a reference library... The author is adamant that his experiences are not unique. "Anyone can find treasure," he states. "When it happens, it can become a lifelong addiction."
