Buried Treasure In Minnesota -

Six Areas To Search

Buried treasure in Minnesota exists in many areas. I have listed a few places here. However, I cannot promise that this information is completely accurate. As treasure tales go, because they have been passed down through many years, certain elements of the lost treasure story may have been altered, either intentionally or otherwise. And because the stories have changed, you need to research them even further.

Never rely on one piece of information about a treasure story you are researching. Use multiple research tools. A good place to start is on the Internet. Also check with the historical societies of the areas you will be searching in. When you talk to people ask them many questions about the treasure you are searching for. You need to be like a detective trying to solve a criminal case. The more information you have, the better results in your actual searching for the treasure you will have.

You should also have a reliable metal detector. If you do not own one but you want to purchase a detector, do not spend a lot of money. A good, new metal detector can be purchased for between $350 - $450. You don’t need a detector with all of the bells and whistles either. Those are for the more advanced user. If you purchase a less expensive model, and then read the owners manual, as well as practice using it, you will find your fair share of goodies.

Anytime you are going on to private property be sure to ask for permission. If you are venturing on to State or Federal lands you should know the laws of that State.
