A complete guide to lost and buried treasure. Author Chet Blanchard has been treasure hunting and metal detecting for over 32 years. The hobby has always been an important part of his life - from his many finds to his occupation as a Distributor for White's Electronics selling detectors in 5 mid-west states and Canada. The most frequent question asked of Chet is - "what are the most interesting things you've ever found ....."
Working with the Sheriff's department on a homicide case - my White's detector located the body by the large belt buckle. Locating a large bulldozer 12 feet deep after a landslide carried the dozer into a lake where it sank to the bottom. A trip to Russia to work with their archaeologists at old campsites of Mongol Warlords. Gold nugget hunting in California.
Gold panning in a river in Oregon. Diving and treasure hunting on shipwrecks in the Caribbean. Several buried and hidden caches - a treat for a treasure hunter. Founded the Ohio Treasure Hunters Club which grew to 90 families. Held the largest open Treasure Hunt with over 600 entries. Found a $5.00 gold coin dated the author's birth year.
But Chet says his greatest reward from treasure hunting wasn't always the objects he found, but the many people he met, the places he went AND the thrill of the search or hunt!
