Treasure hunting has been my life for decades now. Of course, I do not imply treasure hunting like Indiana Jones or some pirate's hidden chest of gold. I hunt for antiques and artifacts and whilst my search does not take me to faraway exotic lands, I do find myself in some interesting places. And while I have not gotten wealthy, I have found numerous valuable products.

In the starting, my treasure hunting started at nearby antique shops. One thing I rapidly found is that antiquing is a world all to itself. First off, I quickly realized that I needed a tremendous quantity of understanding to know what was beneficial and what was merely old junk. Many online resources can educate you on the most sought following items and make you much more informed as to what is truly collectible. Of course, no 1 is going to turn out to be an expert at all of the myriad categories and person items that people gather, but great resources will give you at least a broad concept of what to look for when searching for antiques and artifacts.

The next thing I found is that antique dealers do not like to be treated as although they are operating a big yard sale. These people spend a fantastic deal of time filling their shops with what they consider to be beneficial and worthy products. If you walk in and offer a couple dollars for some thing that is clearly valuable, you may find your self unable to purchase something. Antique dealers are severe about their issues and do not like to be insulted. Negotiation is common and completely acceptable, but try to do so from a win-win perspective.

Antiquing is enjoyable and very fascinating, but it certainly does require a depth of understanding to have genuine achievement. So I do some hunting for genuine buried treasure pretty regularly. Like I said, I do not go into the jungles or ancient ruins hunting for valuables - I just go to my garage, grab my metal detector, and simply select a spot to scan. I have discovered old Civil War artifacts like bullets and buttons and of course lots of change and jewelry. Often though, I use nothing but my eyes to hunt for artifacts like arrowheads, pottery shards, and uniform badges. All it generally requires is a bit of study on historical sites and of course, a lot of patience. You would be surprised at how valuable some thing as simple as a piece of Native American pottery can be to a museum.
