HI Treasure 13,

I don't know where you are, but you might look for old foundation, where old houses were.
And also just think of if you were going to hid some money, what kind of area would you hid it in and what kind of markers would you have to locate it again.
Like Big rocks and old big trees and like that !

                LOL !    Robin

i live in georgia

Ga should have plenty of old homesteads and ghosttowns. Also civil war relics in certain locations. How old is the house you live in? Were people living in it during and after the great depression of the 1930's when people didn't trust banks. Was/is it a long way from town?

You can check with the local library. Also the local historical center and they are usually more than happy to help you with finding information, especially on the area's local history. Can get you pointed in the right direction. Good Luck and  HH.

Yesterday while doing research on abandoned amusement parks in Kansas and Missouri, I stumbled across a web site that has many pictures, stories, descriptions, histories and backgrounds of many places all over Georgia.  With the computer at you fingertips, there is no lack of places to cache hunt, or just hunt.  The title of this web blog/page/collection is  Gone and Almost forgotten Georgia,  it is on Angelfire.com

I spent way too much time reading and looking.  Go to the end of the articles and pick something out of the index that you may want to explore.  There must be something relatively close to your area.    Good  luck!

Your local archives or library are the best places to start.  Find old maps, find books written specifically about your area. 

  I doubt if Ace keeps up with archives but if he went to the Georgia Forum on
Treasure Net he might stumble on a cache nearby with instructions on how to
go about it.  Treasure happens to the lucky too. . . lastleg

i dont think any 13 year olds keep up with the archives.

It's a good time to start yo, actually the present is always a good time to get started on it, why wait??  It's half the fun man.  95% of what I've done in the last 3 weeks in terms of treasure hunting has just been research.

HI Treasureace 13,

Theres a guy who lives neer me who is from Georgia, and knows a lot about the civil war and what happened then, hes into history.
Anyway he said when the north was coming down into georgia, people buried there stuff so the northen troops wouldn't get there gold and coins, Their savings !
So they hastilly buried it and left the area.
Well what happened was the northen troops burned all the places, right straight
through Georgia around 40 to 200 miles, wide and many caches were lost to time and are still there. Also many who were caught were killed also, thats why they ran.
So really with some reading of the Civil war history, and looking at old maps of where that slash of troops came through   Georgia  and traveled many hundereds of miles through there, you can do well in hunting some really big caches.
I would also suggest looking for old rock foundations, and whwere there might have been old cabins at one time.
Also if you start finding some old square nails in an area it might have been an old cabin there, good place to look !

       Your friend   LOL !    Robin

ACE 13, My Grandfather on my Dad's side was born in 1880. His Dad built the first blacksmith shop in Bastrop, Louisiana. My Grandfather was head of the Regulators in South Arkansas in the 20's and 30's.He was also a capitalist in the moonshine business. No telling what all he knew. He died in 1973. I was 24 years old and at that time, I did not have since enough to pick his mind of what took place for 93 years. History lost  and my lost. Talk to the older people around you, let them share their knowledge.

Hi Ace!

You can grab a copy of the United States Treasure Atlas by Thomas P. Terry. Vol. 3 covers Georgia. You might get some good ideas on places to start researching.

Or make friends with some of the oldsters! Sometimes they'll show or tell you a tid bit in a 20 minute conversation that might take you months to research yourself.

I wish there was a Canadian treasure atlas 

I've never come across anything even remotely close to one.

Canadian Govt. probably won't allow one If there was a book for Canada, All us folks down here would be flocking up there

45 minutes north of Atlanta, get yourself a pan and find a stream and start looking for gold, your in a perfect area!

some old timers told me (back in 1984) that when Sherman hit Atlanta, the Georgia State Gold was on wagon trains headed towards Augusta....lotta territory lots of history, not enough time...sometimes you get lucky.

I live in the augusta area and there are alot of areas to be found and hunted, I have several houses on some hunting property that I have been trying to find information on , as soon as I get more time I will be checking the areas out more in person, I will be checking out the library to see what info they have , thanks

Ace, you are sitting in the middle of metal detector heaven!!   

Not only can you hunt for gold (nuggets and placer in or very close to your area) like Sabre15 said; but check out the last paragraph on this page:

http://www.bartowga.org/

If I was you, I'd be getting better acquainted down at the local historical society!!

Best of luck!!

you may also want to try the courthouse at your county seat. go to the probate office and ask to see old deeds, marriage cert. and such. you may even find someone there that can turn you on to some places. i live in alabama and i have heard of a treasure tale in georgia not far from me. near lagrange. lipscomb a plantation owner buried silver and on his death bed he tried to tell his wife where it was, but she could not find it. it is supposed to be still out there some place

im starting up panning. master eagle sent me a pan.
hows the etowah below the allatoona dam?
and the toccoa?
im going to the library soon.

I am seeking information about bury treasures in Connecticut.  Thank you.
