Georgia Lost Treasure

Georgia lost treasure sites are listed on this page. 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.

This information should be researched through other means as well. Never rely on one piece of information about a treasure story you are researching. Use multiple research tools.

Try the Internet for starters. Although most of the information there is re-hashed information that is incorrect.

Visit the historical societies, read old newspapers, and old books. The more information you can gather will help you with your search for treasure.

When Searching For Georgia Lost Treasure You Should have A Metal Detector

If you do not own a metal detector and you are thinking of purchasing one, do not over spend. Too often, newcomers to the hobby buy expensive detectors only to discover nothing but confusion about how to use their new model.

If you spend between $350-$450 on a new model, that is good enough. Just read the owners manual, and practice with your detector, and you will do fine. Move up to the high end models after you have become proficient in the hobby.
