Where can you find hidden treasure? Almost anywhere. How can you
find it? Here are some new ideas on that.
I was once involved in tearing down an old house. In the attic,
hidden underneath the insulation, I found a glass piggy bank of
old pennies. I also found a rare old magazine and a few other
minor treasures.
Treasure is not always things of obvious value, though. Hidden
in the walls of that house was a treasure that at the time never
occurred to me: copper tubing. I later discovered that the water
lines we paid to have hauled away were sold as valuable scrap by
the junk man. It made me wonder what else could be "treasure,"
and where else I might find it.
New Ideas On Hidden Treasure
Hidden in a warehouse in the small town where I used to live,
was a mountain of old boxes. It was the leftover inventory of a
wooden clock factory that had gone out of business. The owner of
the clocks had let them sit there for at least ten years.
Finally someone explained to him how he could sell them on Ebay,
and he realized the treasure he was sitting on.
An old Mayan Indian we met at a hot spring in Arizona showed us
how to find arrowheads and metates (used for grinding corn or
mesquite beans) in the desert. They're hundreds of years old. He
sold one of his metates for $200 during a yard sale, but this
may be illegal now. Check with authorities on this one.
I have hidden money several times in my life. Many people do.
What happens when people die unexpectedly? The money and
valuables they hid remain where they are until discovered. There
is an estimated several billion dollars in hidden currency alone
in this country, and who knows how much in silver, gold, jewelry
and other things. Here are some of the places people have
discovered these hidden treasures.
- Under sinks (money).
- Hidden inside the pages of books (bills). - Buried in
crawl-spaces (all sorts of treasure).
- Above ceiling tiles.
- Buried under the edges of cement patios.
- In walls behind outlet plates.
- In pump houses.
- Under floors in sheds.
- In old heating oil tanks (coins).
- Under rocks in highway rest areas.
That last one is a favorite hiding place for drug dealers and
other criminals who need to hide cash fast. If they never get
out of prison, or die, the money waits for a treasure hunter to
find it. Sometimes you just have to look to find hidden treasure.
