Treasure Hunting

Uncover Hidden Romance


Treasure hunting these days means you pay a fee to go and do your searching on someone else's land - usually the land of a company that makes it's business allowing seekers to come find it's hidden treasures. Yes, there are treasures to be found!



What you'll do to find your treasure ranges from digging around in a pile of dirt to chipping away at rocks to being up to your elbows in cold water. You can go by the hour or by the day, and for your fee you get to hunt to your hearts content. You'll probably need your own tools (or can rent them there) and you'll get dirty and maybe wet and it may not be all that fun... until you find something!

How exciting would it be to find yourself a nugget of gold or an opal or an old coin?! My wife and I have plans to search for opals in Nevada, though with the price of gold in March 2009 we may have to leave time to stop and do some panning for gold.

Get out there and find yours!


Most places that "host" treasure hunters allow you to keep whatever you find, and many places say you have a good chance of finding something. You probably won't get rich, but you may find a nice souvenir that can be made into jewelry or something to remember.

Yes, you can still get yourself a metal detector and hit the beach or any place where a large group of people have recently gathered. In most places the rule is "finders keepers".

I have read you are not allowed to dig for arrowheads or take them from Indian land. There may be other no-nos of treasure hunting, and if this is something you think you'll enjoy as a date idea, do some research before you head out. There are treasure hunters clubs all over (find them online) and any of them will be happy to lead you in the right direction.
