Buried Treasure in Vermont
Four Sites to Search

Locating buried treasure in Vermont is possible. There are stories that have been in existence for many years about different kinds of treasures scattered throughout the state. I have listed a few of them below. Can you find one? Yes you can. Others have located buried caches and hidden treasures in many states. Some of them were found by accident, and others were located because of the research that was put into the search. Good research is the key to locating any treasure. I’ll give you examples of what is needed in the way of research. The effort you put into the research is up to you.

The easiest place to start your research for buried treasure is in your local library. Take the information I have given you and research it further. Never rely solely on a single story about a hidden treasure. Some stories are myth, and many others have been changed throughout the years.

The local historical society of the area you are searching in is another good place to look for information. You would be surprised at how much information they hold. Old newspapers, post cards, and books are just a few of the items that these societies have that can help you with your research. And always be looking for other ideas or treasure leads when you are searching for information on your search.

Use A Metal Detector To Help Locate Buried Treasure In Vermont

If you don’t have a metal detector, and you want to search for buried treasure in Vermont, then you should purchase one. Metal detectors make searching for treasure much easier. You do not have to spend a lot of money on a detector. New models can be expensive, but for approximately $250 you can purchase a decent detector that will be more than efficient. I’ve used just about every manufacturers detector and I keep coming back to the Garrett.
