Buried Treasure in Texas
Ten Areas To Search
Buried treasure in Texas consists of outlaw caches, ghost town treasures, personal family caches, silver and gold mines. You can locate these lost treasures. However, before you head off searching, there are a few things you need to be aware of.
First, if you are hiking into the Texas desert, you better be well prepared to survive the harsh environment in case you become lost or hurt. Some of these treasures are hidden in very remote, desolate areas. You should have enough water, food, and a first aid kit in your pack, as well as matches, a lighter, or both, to start a fire.
Next, do your research. The stories below are just a lead to a treasure. And stories are exactly what they are, just glimpses of what could or could not be a treasure. Many lost treasure stories have been passed down through time with inaccuracy’s. Each time the story is told, it changes. That is why it is important to research the treasures you wish to search for. Use the Internet, check with the local historical societies in the areas you want to search, and ask lots of questions. The more information you have regarding buried treasure in Texas, the better your chances of locating one.
Also, you should have a metal detector. You don’t need an expensive model. You can buy a new detector for between $350 - $450 from a reputable manufacturer. Stay away from the metal detectors that have all of the bells and whistles. They can be very confusing for a new user.
