The treasure hunting community comes out with undeniable wins far more often than you’d imagine. It’s always fun to daydream about what kinds of rare finds could be out and about, hiding in plain sight. It could be something as unexpected as finding a crisp $50 bill on a sidewalk when you needed it most, just as it could be an actual rare coin that ends up being worth far more than you could’ve hoped for. The point is that treasure hunting is one of those hobbies that can end up rewarding you in all kinds of unexpected, favorable ways.
1. A haul from a 1700s New York farmhouse.
It’s not every day you can roam an old farmland and end up with a huge haul of what looks to be some precious goods.
2. Found this beauty underground.
Now that’s a true beaut if I’ve seen one.
3. Found in my garden in Lancashire.
This is a St. Georgius Equitum patronus, and they are not easy to come by at all.
4. Didn’t see this one coming.
Apparently, this is the ruptured duck, and it signifies an honorable discharge from the US military.
5. Nothing like some good morning gold to brighten the spirit.
Things are looking up after all.
6. Found it in the Bahamas, and it’s super heavy.
If this is indeed legit, it could end up being worth around a grand.
7. Found this in my yard in France.
Now that could be the coolest belt buckle in town easily.
8. Found a Kist soda bottle from 1927.
This sure is one beautiful bottle.
9. Found a 1927 Buffalo Nickel in Okinawa, Japan.
Now this is just plain old epic. One’s got to wonder how much they were able to potentially sell this for.
10. Found this trade silver brooch yesterday.
You’re not alone if you too are jealous of this find.
11. Found ring at Salvation Army.
Even if this isn’t an actual ruby, it still manages to catch the eye in some type of way.
12. Always remember to check the Coinstar at the grocery store.
This also might remind you to check the coin return area in payphones.
13. Was digging for rocks and found this old royal crystal fuse.
This would make a spectacular desk piece.
14. 4 escudos coin/gold coin.
The longer you look at it, the more lost you can get in the intricate engravings.
15. Passed down from my grandfather.
If this is a real piece, there’s a fighting chance that it could’ve come from Mel Fisher, and from there, the value could skyrocket through the roof.
16. Found off the coast of Brooklyn in about 15 feet of water.
This could very well be a legit alien statue. Who’s to say?
17. Pretty stunning engraving work.
Apparently, this is a token, and it’s good for 1 Mark or Euro in trade. At least that’s the rumor around town.
18. Found $2,300 in my vent recently.
So, that’s where DB Cooper must’ve put it.
19. Took the detector out on but two hunts this week.
Apparently, this was all found at a park in town.
20. Putting almost everything I’ve found in the last five months into perspective.
The color gradient is striking, to say the very least.
