Successful TREASURE HUNTER'S Guide

Special Successful TREASURE HUNTER'S Guide Treasure Hunting is not merely looking for coins on a deserted playground. There are many different aspects of the hobby that you should become familiar with.

• Coinshooting is the searching of coins, rings and other under-the-surface objects with a regular metal detector.
• Cache hunting is the search for specific lost treasures — whether they be buried pirate treasure or just a jar of old coins stored away during the depression years of the late 19th century.
• Beachcombing is the search along the water or in shallow water for coins, rings and other relics, and may require more specialized equipment than normal coinshooting.
• Underwater detecting is the search for the treasure on sunken ships, as well as other sea and river wreckage, with highly-specialized detecting equipment.
• Relic hunting is the search for historical treasure from the Revolutionary and Civil wars, such as bullets, belt buckles and uniform buttons.

If you choose to participate in only one facet of this hobby, you are missing out on a great deal of excitement and entertainment. Read on to find out more about the world of treasure hunting.
