information about such places on the internet and besides you hundreds or thousands of people do the same which reduces your chances of winning of course cool treasure hunters know secret places and maps but you're a beginner so try to look for gold here so our first place is Crater of diamonds state park Arkansas at the beginning of the 20th century people first discovered diamonds here commercial companies tried to set up gemstone mining here but failed in the 50s this place became famous because of a 15 carat shining stone called the star of Arkansas found here this park has become a tourist attraction where people still hope to find shiny stones for all the time researchers have been digging the ground here about 30,000 diamonds have been found they find about 600 Stones yearly significantly improving their financial condition the other location is in bedford Virginia and here you will have to work hard to find something valuable there's a legend that in 1819 Thomas Beale and a group of men hit many treasures somewhere here that they had gotten in the western part of the country the exact location of the treasure is unknown but Thomas wrote a cipher that contains its coordinates he and all the others who knew the secret code passed away and people are still trying to decipher the coordinates one part of the cipher was solved but it contained information about the contents of the treasure other parts of the cipher remain unsolved even though many consider this story fiction cryptographers are still trying to unravel the cipher perhaps you can do it many people are looking for diamonds gold coins and jewelry but what about something more unusual what about Jade is a beautiful semi-precious Stone of mostly green color that you can find in Jade Cove Central Coast of California to get a big green stone you need to scuba dive near the shore and look for it on the seabed but if you're lucky you can find small Jade pebbles on the beach after a storm or at low tide remember that there are also sunken ships with priceless cargo besides natural gems and diamonds one of them is the Spanish vessel San Miguel which sank in 1715 on the Atlantic coast of Florida near Amelia Island the cargo price of this ship may be worth about 2 billion dollars but the Seekers managed to find only a tiny part of this treasure hundreds of gold coins where the rest of the cargo is remains unknown San Miguel is one of the many ships that belong to the Spanish cargo Fleet Searchers were able to find other wrecks but the location of San Miguel is still a mystery you have a chance to find it but don't waste too much effort even if you find the ship you won't be able to take all of its jewels the Queen's Jewel salvage company owns a vast area where the boat sink so if you find something there you'll have to give it away to avoid problems with the law okay we found out the places where you can find treasures now it's time to prepare so it would be best to have an underground metal detector headphones a pinpoint a sand scoop and a good shovel the prices for metal detectors range from several hundred to several thousand dollars you probably have an expensive device if you're a professional seeker with many years of experience but if you're a beginner this metal detector for a little more than 138 dollars will suit you put it in a metal detector carrying case and go to the treasure spot metal detectors that have a VLF very low frequency technology it consists of two coils that create an electromagnetic field when an object conducting electricity enters the zone of this field the detector field notices a small electromagnetic field of this object metal detectors catch the signal if a metal object is near the surface but if the treasure is buried deep you need to fork out for a more expensive device also a more expensive detector extends its effects to a wider range of metal types when it finds someone's electromagnetic field it sends a signal you need to hear through highly sensitive headphones such as these then when you have detected the signal you need to find its exact location to do this use a pin pointer this thing works on the principle of a metal detector but the area of its magnetic field is much smaller which allows you to find a small coin or a tiny gemstone on a little plot of ground and as soon as the pin pointer spots something use a shovel to dig out the treasure okay you've arrived at the place and found the treasure with the help of a metal detector don't rush to rejoice because you can break the law by taking possessions of the prize there's a vast set of laws concerning such fines and it all depends on the country where you find it therefore before you go somewhere look at the rules of this country perhaps you will be banned from leaving the place with the found jewelry and the Customs will force you to give it all to the state or you could end up in jail to avoid this carefully study the rules.
