A Modern Search For Adventure

The brand-new
Ebook is much-expanded with new content, illustrations, and resources —
plus an impressive bonus pack! 115 info-packed pages.
Chapter:
THE PAST, THE PRESENT,
AND THE FUTURE OF TH'ing
Treasure hunting is not new. People have hunted for coins since coins first
became a medium of exchange.
Many individuals probably edged themselves a shaky
step out of grinding poverty by carefully looking over the picnic and party areas
where wealthier citizens of their time frolicked.
The Spanish search for gold
throughout the Americas, to a great degree, was a tremendous treasure hunt.
In this century, more and more men and a few women became aware of the fantastic,
unrecovered treasures and the opportunities for sudden wealth unrecognized by the
multitudes.
Some of these folks made large and small fortunes, even before metal detectors made
the process simpler...
... Simply by good research, keeping eyes and ears open, thinking
out each situation, and working diligently at what they were doing.

Treasure Hunting Of A Few Years Ago
Was A Glorious Thing
There was really not much competition for a hard-working, analytical THer. The sky
was the limit, and the rewards often proved astonishing. Karl von Mueller tells
me — as he will in his own frank way — anyone else, that such days are over.
I agree with him.
Today There Is Increasing Competition
Many ''THers'' are really hobbyists (which I
think is great!). Laws, bureaucratic decrees and harassments, and sheer people-pressure
tend to make many areas increasingly difficult to hunt. Not impossible, just
more difficult. Some fantastic recoveries have been made, some reported, many completely
unreported.
THing Today Is Not What It Used To Be
THing has changed. This is no reason to give up, though,
for I think the potential rewards are as great as they ever were,
perhaps more so.
Not for everybody, they aren't...
for the challenge is greater,
the task more difficult.
A THer, To Be Successful, Must...
- Continually research
- Use his or her head to go where he or she needs to go
- Maintain an ever-tighter closed mouth, and...
- Keep up on the technological improvements
