Buried Treasure In New Hampshire
Five Places To Search
Much of the buried treasure in New Hampshire is pirate booty, and Revolutionary War treasures. If you would like to search for them, there are two important points you need to understand before attempting to locate these lost treasures.
First, you need to do more research. I have included in this article some stories relating to buried treasure in New Hampshire, however, it’s a good idea if you can research them further. The more information you have about any treasure legend, the better your chances of locating them.
Using the Internet is a good start. Also, if you can visit the historical societies of the area you want to search in, you may be able to find more information.
Second, you should have a metal detector. If you do not own a detector, but are thinking of purchasing one, do not spend more that $450. A good price range of between $350-$450 is all you need. The more expensive detectors are for the more advanced hobbyists. They have more bells and whistles on them, and are very confusing to the newcomer. I use a metal detector in this price range, and I have been treasure hunting for thirty-five years.
If you purchase a metal detector, be sure to read and understand the owners manual. Learn how to use your detector properly, and you will find coins, jewelry, relics, and who knows, maybe a buried treasure. It does happen.
