Why do I treasure hunt in the winter?

Some of you have noticed that my posts here have slowed down. It is not because I do not love you or enjoy sharing ideas. It is because winter is when my world kicks into high gear.

Most people only treasure hunt in the spring and the summer. I avoid these times because many reasons. For one thing the snakes are in hibernation and there are no chiggers and ticks outside. But my main reason for winter treasure hunting is to avoid people.

The less people who know about what I am doing the better. Other people are your greatest danger. To avoid this I go out when it is cold and uncomfortable. Most other people are warm and cozy inside and they stay there.

I realize at one point I am going to have to tackle the uneasy subject of treasure hunting ethics. But for now just realize you are safer if less people know what you are doing. It makes them less likely to rob or kill you if you make a large recovery. It also avoids other problems but that will have to be covered later.

Enjoy yourself. My little for "fun" project might begin soon if the timing and weather are on my side. I will update you on my progress after the fact.

I am very busy with my other treasure hunting projects and they need to take priority. But I will attempt to update this site more often.

Go get you some treasure!
