Among the somewhat limited and generally clandestine world of professional treasure hunters there exists what is referred to as “The Finders Keepers Rule.” In other words, one gets to keep the treasure that is found and recovered. Be apprised that there exists in this country an array of laws and regulations designed to separate the finder from the treasure. Generally referred to as “salvage and recovery laws,” as well as others designated as “antiquities laws,” these strictures have been designed by lawmakers to legally seize all or most of the treasure hunter’s discovery and place it in government coffers. Professional treasure hunters have largely chosen to ignore and bypass such laws in order to maintain possession of their hard-earned wealth. The treasure hunters did all of the research, assumed all expenses related to any search and recovery operation, invested significant time and energy, and took all of the risks, all with no assistance from any agency, government or otherwise. As a result, They are disinclined to relinquish their finds to any who made no contribution whatsoever. Hence, the Finders Keepers Rule. Within these pages, the reader will be acquainted with nine fabulous lost or buried treasures. Author and treasure hunter Jameson has had experiences with each, has recovered significant amounts of riches, and because of age, logistical difficulties, and the loss of his long-time partners, was forced to leave much behind. The backstory of each is provided, locations are revealed, the steps necessary to reach them are detailed, and real and potential obstacles that might be encountered are listed. Happy hunting, and remember – Finders Keepers
