Off Your Treasure Finds
A few years ago, I found a large man's ring that I thought was a
pull tab while hunting at a very old camp on the beach. It is my most precious
find yet! It flilps from an elephant on one side to the Masonic Order on the
other. It looks like it is made omore of a steel than silver, and the front,
flipping part is oval-shaped. I have tried looking it up on the web--nothing
like it. I also had a friend of mine give it to her buddy to take to a meeting
of Masons and all he said was, "It is very old and someone was in trouble when
they lost that." If you know where I can try and find more info on this ring, I
would love it! I still haven't found a diamond ring yet (a real diamond) but
this this I would bet, is still the find of a lifetime! Cindy Bailiff, Michigan

No
Longer Lost
Ruins
reappear
ELBERTON, Georgia--As the level of
Thurmond Lake has dropped, the long lost city of Petersburg has emerged. Record
low lake levels have given residents a glimpse of what was Georgia's
second-largest city, a tobacco town founded in the late 1700s. The town was
buried 50 years ago when the US Army Corps of Engineers flooded 72,000 acres to
build the lake. Old roadbeds, fence lines and brick foundations are now visible
as well as rusty spikes and broken glass. The ruins can be seen from Bobby Brown
State Park, situated on the lake's shoreline.
Fearing the next
bullet
DURHAM, N.C.--Residents of a subdivision
recently learned their houses were built on the edge of a World War II-era
target range. While raking leaves, one couple discovered a live bazooka shell.
Through the years many residents have relayed stories of ammunition as big as
155 mm being found while they were plowing fields. The 40,000-acre Camp Butner
Army base was built in the 1940s to house and train soldiers. Since August, an
engineering firm, armed with hand-held global positioning systems and metal
detectors, have found more than 1,000 pounds of horseshoes, plow blades, nails
and at least 200 fragments, fuses and explosive devices. Residents of the
neighborhood have indicated they are too fearful to let their children play
outside.

Equipment for the Treasure Hunter
The Detector
Transporter
WILMINGTON, Del.--The modern metal detector
evolved from the mine detector developed and used by the military to detect
mines and other ordnance. Other than massive improvements in electronics, the
metal detector is pretty much unchanged in its operation. Requiring an operator
to carry, with arm bracing to counterbalance the detector weight, and swing it
through inaccuracs, sometimes at the correct height above the ground, most times
not.
Until the Detector Transporter.
Tate-Beattie Inc. is proud to announce the
Detector Transporter (patent pending). A simple non-metallic wheeled attachment
for a metal detector that makes detecting easy, fun and more
productive.
It attaches and removes in seconds. Fits most
detectors with up to 15-inch diameter loops. For more information email tatebeattieinc@aol.com
Tip of the
Week
"On my bigfoot coil, I painted a red line on each side of
the target zone to better identify the pinpoint area," said Thomas Buescher, a
longtime treasure hunter.

Big Horn River, lies a fortune in gold and historical artifacts. It is the
