What is a treasure? Can I find it?

Probably, each of us dreamed of finding a treasure, get rich and buy everything that your heart desires. But you should think about what a treasure really is? It's not only a huge chest with gold and silver coins, as we imagine it, but also any thing buried in the ground.

Reason for appearance

Everyone knows that the treasure itself does not take place in the land. Somebody put it there. But who and why did he do it?

In the old days, banks did not exist. In order to save their property, the rich hid it. That's when people learned what a treasure is. But even in our time, some people hide money, and this is not a joke. Here are a few reasons why this happens:

• People do not trust others, banks, their spouses;
• The instability of the economy or the stock market;
• Many hide money to feel safe.

As a rule, the acquired wealth is concealed in order to transfer it to its descendants. But, unfortunately, no one is eternal. People die, and the money that the deceased has hidden, no one finds. So this wealth can lie for centuries in the expectation of a lucky beggar.

Where to find treasure in old houses?

Anyone at least once in his life asked himself the question: "What is a treasure?". And can you find it today? In fact, it's really possible to find treasures in the most unexpected place. Some are specifically looking for treasures in historical places. But they can stumble quite accidentally, for example, during excavation. Such works include building houses, and plowing fields, and drilling wells, digging wells, and many others.

How to find a treasure? In modern society, knowledge of the terrain can help to find treasures. So, one of the most common places are old houses. Of course, ideally these should be noblemen's estates or palaces. This is due to the fact that in the old days only the rich were often hiding their wealth under the earth. Therefore, the chance to dig up old coins or other valuables is greatly increased.

But if you're lucky, and you've found a place where you can find treasure? But intuition should already work here. After all, in the old days there lived also not stupid people, and their acquired good things got into a prominent place and were not hidden. Therefore, treasure seekers should thoroughly examine the house and look:

• For window and door frames;
• Under the floors;
• For walls;
• For paintings;
• In the cellars;
• Under the trees.

That's what concerns the garden, then you have to dig the whole area. It's not a fact that all the trees are preserved. Perhaps the old treasures are not at all under them?

In the hunt for treasure

Any old house can hide many interesting things. Nevertheless, if you want to achieve the goal, you must be armed with a shovel and be prepared to dig very much. Under the first layer of land, there is often any garbage:

• Old pots of clay;
• Bottles;
• Knives;
• Utensils and many other household items.

If the roof of the house is not blocked, then it is worth looking into the attic. You should carefully dig in the corners, the pipe, and also check the beams. It was in these places of the attic that people hid valuables.

But it should be remembered that such excavations necessarily require a special permit. And if the treasure was found, then it is necessary to act with it as required by law.

Treasure at the bottom of the sea: how to search?

What is a treasure? Is it really to be found only on land? No, the sea is also a great place where you can find treasures. A couple of centuries ago, ships were considered the main means of transporting goods to other countries or continents. Very often they were shipwrecked because of a storm or breakdown of a ship associated with military operations. Therefore, to our days at the bottom lurks a lot of treasure, drowned with the ship. Many seekers dive to the bottom in the hope of finding a treasure. Some lucky people succeeded.

The main rule of such searches is to have an aqualung and a water metal detector. During such a search, you need to work in tandem with someone. This is for safety, because at the bottom there can be unforeseen situations in which assistance will be needed.

What equipment is used for searching?

How to find a treasure? Very few people were not interested in this issue. The appearance of an underwater metal detector significantly simplifies the life of researchers, historians, archaeologists, who seek treasures on the bottom. With this device it is much easier to find coins, amphoras, ornaments. Since the middle of the last century, the search for wrecks and traces of ancient settlements in most cases is successful.

Modern metal detectors give an audible signal as soon as they detect the necessary elements. In such newest devices, you can set a search target, for example, gold. In this case, the equipment will not react to different iron debris, but will only look for gold. Therefore, before diving to the bottom, it is important to pre-program it to detect a particular precious metal.

On land, everything is much simpler. You will have enough metal detector and shovel.
The main thing is to have faith, desire and excitement. We wish you many valuable finds!
