Treasure hunting can be in exotic places, at the flea market, in your city or even in your backyard. Knowing how to find a treasure depends on what kind of adventure you are looking for and how far you are willing to go. Treasure hunting is a fun event to do on your own or to participate with family or friends. Optimize your efforts before you start, to give you the best results.

Steps
Find Treasure Step 1 one
- Determine what type of treasure you are looking for and what kind of tools you need to find it.
- If you are looking for gold or other precious metals, consider buying a metal detector.
- If you plan to find collectibles or antiques, study their assessment and how to recognize them. This may include buying books on the subject or doing research online.
- Review your history, if you are looking for historical treasures such as ancient ships, valuable documents and other historical objects.
Step 2 two
- Choose a place where you want to start your treasure hunt. Make sure you understand the rules of the location so you are not stealing from another individual, a country or an organization.
- Feel free to roam the public beaches with your metal detector in search of coins and other treasures. Because it is on public lands, what you find is yours. You should also consider going to a more secluded beach in order to increase your chance of a good find.
- Walk through antique stores, garage sales and flea markets to find that hidden find that has been overlooked by sellers and other buyers. Studying the features of what you are looking for and being able to discern fakes will help you with an easier identification of the item you are looking for.
- For historical items such as arrowheads, old documents and other antiques, make sure you have the proper credentials or permission for what you are looking for.
- You can search in old homes, and with permission, look for period items, such as coins, watches, old silver spoons and more. Before there were banks, or before people trusted them, many people hid their valuables on their property. What you find may be old junk or old valuables, and this would be applicable in places like old train stations, mining sites or monterias.
Step 3
- Look in areas that indicate what treasure has been found in the past. The most popular treasure beaches sometimes have additional elements that appear at similar points when the thunderstorms pass through.
Step 4
- Use a GPS unit to locate the places you have visited and to avoid going to the same place twice.
Tips
- Bring a friend or family member to help you divide the area or offer you a set of additional eyes.
