Find Treasures Near You

You can find treasures that have been buried. Many others are locating them.

In a small town in the Midwest a treasure hunter located $300,000 of silver certificates. The bills were buried by a well to do merchant. He had cached the money inside a large cast iron barrel that was dug into the ground and covered by a large flat rock.

A husband and wife here in the East was told that the house they had just purchased, an early 1880’s Colonial, may have a treasure buried either inside the premises, or somewhere on the property.

The married couple was remodeling the home, and as they were removing the old pine floors from a back room, they found approximately, $100,00 in gold and silver coins. The coins dated between 1810 and 1832.

Many individuals have located small caches buried in backyards, and in gardens.

I have been called to locate treasures for individuals who thought that perhaps their spouse or parents might have buried money or jewelry for safekeeping. After the spouse dies, or the parents pass on, if no one knows of the buried treasure, then that cache stays hidden, quite possibly forever. I have been fortunate enough to locate some of these caches for those families.

To find treasures you do not have to be a professional, but you do need to have the capacity to do your research. It’s true that some individuals, like the husband and wife mentioned above, do have treasures fall into their laps, but the vast majority of caches need to be researched.

Every State has stories about buried treasures. Of course, some may be just a piece of fiction perpetrated over the years, but in fact, some of these stories have proven to be true. Treasure hunters have researched the stories further, and have located buried caches of all types.

This page will give you a list of buried treasure stories of each State.

Another area where buried caches both large and small are being located in old ghost towns. But be careful, especially in the West and Southwestern States. Many of the old towns are on Federal Lands, and you will be breaking the law if you remove anything you find.

In the Eastern States, there are many ghost towns as well, you can find treasures in these old forgotten towns.

The old ghost towns are no more than just cellar holes today. However, they can be found with a little bit of research.
