Important Research Note

The locations and stories in this book should be treated as historical leads rather than guarantees that treasure remains at a particular site. Place names, property boundaries, land ownership, access conditions, and local regulations may have changed since publication. Successful treasure hunting requires updated research, careful investigation, and permission from the current landowner or managing agency.

Responsible Treasure Hunting

Always verify current land ownership and obtain permission before entering or searching a property. Follow all local, state, and federal laws, and never detect or dig at protected archaeological sites, cemeteries, national parks, or other restricted areas. Report historically significant discoveries when required and leave every location in the same or better condition than you found it.
