Treasure Hunter's Paradise

A gathering place for Treasure Hunting Enthusiasts

Welcome to the Treasure Hunter's Paradise! This site grew out of a hobby interest of mine--treasure hunting lore. For some reason, I can't resist a good story about a sunken treasure galleon laden with gold and riches, or a tale of a man who buried millions in gold only to die and take the secret location of the hoard to his grave. Over the last five or six years, my hobby has grown into a rather large obsession--I have collected information on over ten thousand treasure sites (sunken ships, buried gold and silver, lost mines, etc.).

Although I know that perhaps 90% of what I hear is untrue, then I will figure that there are only several billion dollars worth of undiscovered treasure waiting for me to get my greedy little hands on it. And there's plenty for you, too. What's your pleasure? Gold, silver, jewels? Sunken ships, buried caches, lost gold and silver mines?

If you don't see some information on the treasure you're researching, please send e-mail and I'll see what I can get for you. I'm hoping to put some bulletin board areas up to ease this workload, and may even work on a real-time chat area for us treasure hunting enthusiasts to get together in.

Good luck, and happy hunting! And don't forget to bookmark this page. Check back frequently, as I'll be updating every two or three days to keep things current, although I admit to slacking off a bit in this department lately, I promise to get back on schedule!

I am in the process and nearing completion on a complete on-line directory of the more famous treasure sites and pirates in the world. This will include complete biographical history on several pirates and privateers, information from several sources on famous treasure from around the world (including Oak Island, the Lost Dutchman's Mine, the Beale treasure, and several others). These will be included due to requests from several visitors to the site. I promise to have them finished and on-line by the end of August, so check in and tell me what you think! Thanks for visiting, and for making the Treasure Hunter's Paradise one of the most popular treasure-related sites on the net.
