An infinite number of places to hunt for lost treasures exist. During the early days of metal detecting, many sites were virtually untouched by those intent on recovering coins, jewelry, and other valuable items. As a result, some of these locations yielded hundreds of dollars worth of lost coins and other valuable and interesting items over time.
These days, finding a site that has not been previously worked is often difficult. As a result of new and improved metal detector technology, some older sites can be hunted a second and third time with great success. On the other hand, creative treasure hunters are always looking for and finding new and untouched locations to search. Included in this book are many that have proven successful, profitable, and relatively easy to travel to.

Have you ever found a 200 year old Large Cent, or an 1837 silver Half Dime? Steve Lehto has, with his trusty DFX metal detector. The founder of the popular website dfxonly.com recounts his favorite metal detecting stories – and finds – in this volume. He starts all the way back in the good old days when silver finds were common but detectors couldn’t discriminate out bottle caps yet. He also goes into great detail describing where he finds these rare coins and how you probably drive by places like these all the time. Will inspire beginners and give the pros something to read on those winter days, while waiting for the snow to melt.

Can love tame a jaguar god? A Hunting Love story. A good tromp through the jungle fending off giant bugs and hunting for long-lost ruins in South America is exactly Meg’s idea of a great vacation.
