Auctions Information Treasure Hunting Begins At Home

Once
you think of treasure hunting, mayhap gold coins and precious stones move to mind, but it doesn't end there. You can start in your own attic to see what treasures you find. Then you can check out several of the more unusual route to go treasure hunting.
Diamonds In Parking Lots
Temperature changes deed in and out of cars and buildings cause diamonds to move loose from their settings. Because of this, parking lots are one of the most common places diamonds are lost. An older couple I see simply about became experts at telling the difference (from a distance!) between the sparkle of a diamond and bits of glass. Now they on a regular basis
take early morning walks in mall parking lots for a second income.
Desert Treasure Hunting
An old Native American we met at a hot spring in Arizona showed us how to find arrowheads and metates (used for grinding corn or bush beans) in the desert. They're hundreds of years old. He sold-out
one of his metates for $200 during a yard sale, but for non-Native Americans this may be illegal. Check with authorities on this one.
Treasure In Vacuum Cleaner Dust
In Ca a man took the shag carpet from an a old theater being remodeled, saving the owners the cost of disposal. During the thirties the theater was a place wherever
the flush went. Like all of us, the flush lose things, but maybe more valuable things.
When he cut up and with kid gloves
cask
out the old carpet , he found over $2,000 worth of precious stones, rings, and coins. Then, curious what's caught by vaccuum cleaners, the man arranged to take the full cleaner bags from several clean up companies each week. They save disposal costs, and he on a regular basis
finds coins and small jewelry once
he digs through the dirt.
Natural Treasures
My adult female and I have sold-out
sea shells we collected from Everglade state beaches, giant pine cones from California, and rocks we collected all over the country. We sold-out
them at ectoparasite markets and craft shows, as is, or ready-made into thing
crafty. I once met a man who sold-out
"burls" (unusual growths on trees) for as more as $200 each.
Treasure Hunting In The Garbage
Our city collects large junk for free during a week each spring. We see nice bicycles, furniture, games, toys, chairs, and more, in front of all but every house. Some folk move with trucks and trailers to pick out things to sell at ectoparasite markets or auctions. It's a regular source of financial gain
for several of them. I'm sure this happens in different cities too.
Treasures In The River
Both kids and criminals throw things off of bridges routinely. It's a quick way to get rid of evidence. As a child I saw bicycles in rivers several times. I see simply about a man that does a living mistreatment magnets and different tools to retrieve guns, money, and different things of value from the bottom of murky rivers, near bridges.
These are simply a few of the route to go treasure hunting. Wish you do more money? Maybe, but probably not. I can tell you though, that it is a thrill to hear the metal detector start beeping, even as if I do only find a quarter in the sand.
