WHAT DO YOU DO
IF YOU FIND
A BIG ONE?

• First off, there are far more caches that have never been recovered than there are that have been recovered. Many an accumulation of hidden wealth is right where the hider left it.
  
  
• Secondly, there are all sorts of sums being put down today.
  
  
• Thirdly, those accumulations can be found. We all know of the accidental finds. It’s remarkable when little boys find a box of money on the bank of a stream. It’s marvelous when hard-pressed people dig over a million dollars worth of gold coins out of the edge of a broken septic system, as most treasure hunters know recently happened.
  
  
• Good stories often come down over several generations. Many a treasure lead is tied up in obscure family oral histories. Grandfather may have known of a recluse, or of a local scandal, or something else that could be the red flag you’ve been seeking. It is the sort of tip you want.
  
  
• It is not uncommon to come up with the name of some long-dead recluse, a miser only vaguely known in his or her day and now totally forgotten. Pay attention to such tales. Do your homework, then, and see if you can find any records on that person. If you can locate their property, you are long steps ahead.
  
  
• One must learn to listen for the sound of money. Upon hearing such, some discreet talk can soon determine if deeper searching should be done. Open ears, remember, will do you more good than all sorts of open books.
  
  
• Listen, look around, and keep your mind alert, and these sorts of tales will soon enough surface. Learn to be a little picky, and they may stop being just stories. For YOU at least: Let them go on being stories to everyone else.
  
  
• Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut!
  
  
• One word of caution should be given. Even burglars can buy detectors! Many people, not just treasure hunters, are coming home to find floor and wall safes, cleverly concealed, torn open and rifled. Unfortunately, the way the #&*@ courts are today, you probably would not be wise to booby trap such a safe...
  
  
• What to do, you scream in sheer frustration. You do the best you can, and you make up your own mind. Be obvious, if you can. The best place to hide something, it often has been said, is right out in plain sight. Obvious, but devious.
  
  
• It’s really simple. Find it, evaluate it, keep it safe, upgrade it, sell or trade it if the time or the opportunity is right.
  
  
• Don’t be married to what you find, either. You won’t take it with you regardless, as the ancient Pharaohs have proven to us. Set your goals, and if that means cashing out your cache — DO IT!
