Hi, I seem to have dug myself into a rabbit hole with this book. I've been investigating for over 5 years now, and I am convinced I have found the exact location of two, found the general locations within a 5-foot radius of three, and found general locations with a wider radius of two. I know I could find the exact location if I were to continue this journey, but what's the point? I have no one to talk about this book, and the reality of digging is insanely slim. The thought of giving up hurts because of how confident I am and the proof I have to back up my claims. But that's how everyone felt before they were proven wrong after digging, right? I'm very passionate about this, but sharing this with someone and having them tell me I am wrong would be a relief. Nobody I know is familiar with this book, which is why talking to them is a waste of time, and the fear of sharing my information with a stranger is risky, as one, they will take my credit, and two, the possibility of them disrespecting the land.
Byron wrote this book so that people can visit some of his favorite travel spots, with the benefit of learning the history that comes with it. I know this because I found the itinerary he has hidden in his book. I have also found the inspiration for his book structure and the secret behind Canada. All of this is so exciting, but again, I don't know what to do with this information.
For all my treasure hunters out there, how have you been able to stay sane throughout all this? Because I can't be alone. Should I just give up?

In seven days of this post head to the north to locate a crossing over a river of stone and steel. Under the crossing find a stone with a G.
(After enough people have found this place and either posted about it in the comments or DM me the next clue to the treasure and it’s contents will be shared here. This challenge takes place in London Ontario Canada and places within a 45 minute drive around the city. All items placed for the challenge will be removed after 7 months to not leave any permanent litter to our beautiful city. Please be respectful of the locations and be safe on your journey should you take the quest. When the first marker is posted I will update this post announcing it with a picture near the area.)

Just a warning to avoid the Veil treasure hunt series. I made the mistake of paying to join one of these and it was a shitshow. It felt like a borderline grift. Some red flags:
- Most of their clues and materials are (very poorly) AI generated.
- You can pay $25 each for three different concurrent hunts. They claim they’re for different locations and thus you only need to buy one, but they’re all intertwined, so you really need to cough up $75 if you want a shot. And then the same person with unlimited time to explore and travel ends up driving around and claiming multiple treasures because it’s similar solves for all three.
- They decided to make the hunt clue-based instead of a shrinking circle. But most of the clues were red herrings or unconstraining. Only one clue had any constraining power so people wasted their time on mostly useless fluff.
- Their solves are unrigorous and incorrect. An error in one of their clues came to light regarding using J2000 instead of apparent coordinates when doing object tracking (see astronomy subreddit for more info on the difference), leading to area estimates miles off. Instead of owning up to the mistake, the organizers doubled down, claiming “both are valid solutions and one just happens to match with the treasure” - like no??? You just don’t understand basic astronomy???
Overall a very negative experience that I regret wasting time and money on. Save your money. Does anyone recommend better hunts along the east coast? Thanks!

I'm currently stationed in california where I got big into prospecting. Picked up a GM-1000 which served me pretty well. Anyway I got orders to the florida panhandle and I know the GM wont really be of much use out there. But in florida I know theres ample treasure hunting opportunies can anyone reccomend a better detector for that environment. Ive heard the MN manticore is good as well as the equinox 900 if anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated.

Hey fellow hunters,
Wanted to share this year's Hunt for Good, an annual boots on the ground treasure hunt happening in Warren County, Ohio that doubles as a fundraiser for Family Promise, Inc., a local nonprofit helping families find housing stability.
The setup:
A hidden treasure box somewhere in Warren County
Clue-based trail, starts from home, leads you around the county on foot
First 7 hunters to solve it all and reach the finish win a share of $2,000
Kicks off August 8th
Registration is a donation, funds go straight to Family Promise
It's a true boots on the ground hunt, a mix of puzzle solving and exploring, with people all over the county racing the same trail. If you're into clue based hunts (not metal detecting or GPS caching, more ARG style scavenger hunt) this one's worth checking out, and it's for a good cause either way.
Details and registration: thehuntforgood.org
Happy hunting.

I have a question and I'd really like to hear your thoughts.
Before my grandfather passed away, it's said that he buried a treasure somewhere on his land. However, he died without ever telling anyone where it was. All of his sons and daughters have heard the story, but there's no concrete proof that the treasure actually exists.
Now, let's say someone eventually finds it. Who would it rightfully belong to? How should it be divided, especially considering that some of my grandfather's children have already passed away and left children of their own (their heirs)?
There's another complication. Some members of the family don't even want the treasure to be found. Out of selfishness, they'd rather it stay buried forever than have it divided among everyone.
On top of that, if the treasure were ever distributed among the heirs, it would almost certainly become public knowledge. The rest of the family would find out, and eventually the authorities would probably learn about it as well, which could create serious legal complications.
From a legal, moral, and karmic perspective, what do you think is the right thing to do? If you were in this situation, how would you handle it?

I know that typically this is a place people talk about treasure they have found or general talks of treasure hunting but I am curious about something a little different. I want to find a place to bury treasure of my own. I do a lot of magnet fishing, mudlarking and river snorkeling. I'd like to eventually find a place to hide my stash for others to find. Does anyone have any experience in burying Treasure? Any tips or questions are encouraged.
