Treasure Hunting.. New Group

By
Real Estate Agent with New Star Real Estate

The new group Treasure Hunting has been added for the members that like to hunt for Treasures in their area and beyond.  Whether it is Rocks, Gems, Fossils, Shells, Antique Bottles or Relics let us know what, how and where you find them.

My serious Treasure Hunting days began on Sanibel Island searching for shells, then doing shell art and on then on to the Peace River for fossils. (Those to be featured on posts to come)

We have added leaf fossils in Utah, agates, petrified wood and various rocks that we have yet to identify.  This soon becomes addicting. I can actually get my husband away from work for these adventures.  Add four wheelers and it cannot be beat.

I keep track of good sites in all of the States where these and other items can be found.  I hope to visit  them during my vacations and real estate travels.  Treasure Hunters plan their travels around these sites.  A long list awaits me of just such adventures

Add to this group information from the  many places your area has to offer.

This sounds like fun. Can't wait to hear where everyone is finding treasures, and see what they found.

Big Water is next to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. They are pulling all sorts of interesting critters out of there. For a tidbit of what will be several blogs, my son has found several pliosaurs, water bound marine reptiles, that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. One has been named after him as it was a new species. Fun stuff this has been, being the mom.

 Heather-Welcome to Treasure Hunting Group.  That is fun news for your son.  How did he know it was a new species?  I will be reading to learn the story.

Carol, I am off for about the next ten days - daughter graduating from college, a political convention and a MDA fund raiser! Somewhere in there I have a few showings, and maybe with any luck, a interested buyer! Life is good :-)

Heather- Good Luck on all.  I am doing a son, his fiance', and a son in law.. from college and then the son's wedding June 13th. It is definitely a fun time but hard to.  Real Estate is not as flexible as some might think.

It does seem to tie you down. About the time you think you can go somewhere everything starts to happen!

Carol, I got the treasure hunting fever years ago from my mother.  She loved to hunt and one of her trips was to Arkansas to search for diamonds.  I have an Arkansas diamond that mom found about 30 years ago.  I'm sure it's not worth anything to anyone but me.  I am now and addicted hunter myself.  I'm so glad you asked me to be part of the group.
