The 2 Greatest Dangers in Treasure Hunting.

There are dangers in Treasure Hunting. However the two greatest dangers are:

1) Your Mouth

2) Other People

These two dangers have caused more people to loose a fortune than anything else.

If you find a trove, do not tell anyone about it.

Tell no one here, there or anywhere. Don't even tell you mom. Do not post it and never mention it to anyone, EVER. Even your closest friend does not need to know. If you tell one person within a week a few hundred people will know. Trust me I made that mistake once. It cost me big.

Once everyone knows your problems have just begun. Gold and wealth can do strange things to people. There are some desperate people out there folks. Some would not think twice about killing someone for a fortune.

The ones that don't try to kill you or hurt your family will likely try to sue you. They will claim it is their money and take you to court. Even if you win the cases you have lost. Legal bills will eat your fortune away.

This does not include the Federal and State governments that have passed laws making anything they decide as an archaeological object, therefore subject of confiscation. If it is more than 50 years old they can take it away if they want to.


If you find a large cache, best keep it to yourself. Less problems that way.
