Imagine You Could Scuba Dive Year Round?
Love Scuba Diving? How about vacations?
You’d
be surprised to hear that people have now turned treasure hunting into
their full time job – every day (that they feel like it) putting on
their scuba gear, and hunting around old shipwrecks for gold!
During
the height of the Spanish empire, there were THOUSANDS of ships that
tried to make the voyage from South America and the Caribbean to Europe
- and sank along the way.
While many of these have been explored, not all of them have been found – or properly searched!
On many of them, there’s still wonderful opportunities to reclaim treasure!
Consider this – the gold metal detector has
evolved in many ways. In many cases, some of the ships that were
searched before weren’t done with metal detectors – they were done by
hand looking in the obvious places!
Looking through some of the
old places with a gold metal detector could reap many benefits. Even
ones that have been searched, may have been done with less precise
equipment, or by people that left a few stones unturned.
What is
this worth, you ask? Look for the current price of gold, and you’ll
see. Consider the fact that historic coins are worth even more, and the
potential gain is incredible.
With only a few small finds, you can pay for your scuba gear, metal detector, and more.
With a few more, you generate a revenue stream to do this full time.
A
few more, and the next thing you know is that you’re retired and living
full time in the Caribbean, looking for treasure casually as a hobby,
and telling stories about the gold you’ve found and the things you’ve
seen!
If you’re looking to get into this, here are some basic steps.
- Start on-shore
Starting
on-shore will teach you the basics, and get you started with what to
look for. If you can find a group or a mentor, you’ll go through your
learning curve much quicker.
This will also let you make your mistakes, and let you get into the spirit of treasure hunting.
You’ll learn how to use a gold metal detector much quicker this way, as well
- Study your history
Knowing
your history, especially of the local area, will help you find
shipwrecks and understand the value of historic coins when selling them
later on.
- Get a partner you trust
When moving through
old shipwrecks, you’ll want somebody else with you in the event of an
emergency. No treasure in the world is worth risking your life to that
extent over!
- Get the best equipment
For this type of work, you’ll need a fully waterproof gold metal detector.
Spend the extra to get the proper equipment – many people who have come
before you probably didn’t, and therefore skipped over potential
fortunes!
- Have fun
Scuba diving is a great adventure,
and every amateur wishes they could do it more often. You have the
opportunity to do this full time, a chance other people rarely get.
Enjoy it!
