Underwater Treasure Hunt

The tools and methods you will use to find treasure under water really depend on what you’re looking for. Most recreational treasure hunters will find that sifting works best for them.

As with other treasure hunting methods, it’s good to have a plan in mind as you begin your search. You can mark out your search area with stakes in shallow water, or buoys in deeper areas. Deep water treasure hunting is an activity that you should never attempt on your own. Always take a treasure hunting friend with you, and notify someone else where you are going, what time you plan to be back, etc.

For the purpose of this guide, we will focus on treasure hunting methods that can be done in shallow water. While experienced Scuba divers can certainly venture into other territories, the average recreational treasure hunter will probably have more luck skimming the shoreline for jewelry, coins and other valuable lost at the beach. A snorkel kit is a great tool for any underwater treasure hunter. Snorkeling allows you to keep your eyes on the ocean or lake floor as you carefully tread over top, searching for treasures. You can use an underwater metal detector as you snorkel, sweeping the coil over the bottom as you move along.

If you’ve ever snorkeled, you already know why marking out your search area is necessary. You can quickly get off track with only the ocean floor to guide you. Pick a natural landmark if you must, and look up often to be sure you are on track. In cooler water, a wet suit is a must. It will protect you from the cold water and keep you warm all day. In warmer climates, a wet suit is unnecessary but you will still need to wear gloves. There may be sharp cans, rocks or other objects just below the surface of the sand that could hurt your hands if you grabbed hold of one.

What would you be searching for underwater? Well, people lose all kinds of items at the beach. It is an area that can be searched often, as there is a constant supply of new treasures from forgetful and unfortunate swimmers who’ve lost their rings, necklaces, cell phones, earrings, watches and more. Coins are another popular find at the beach, though you are more likely to find new coins that were lost recently than you are to find valuable old relics.

Underwater treasure hunting poses its own unique dangers, even in shallow water. Before setting out, it is important to do a bit of research about the fish and plant life that live in the body of water you are searching. You may want to avoid certain areas at specific times of the year. If there are poisonous fish or plants, you must be able to recognize and avoid them.

Some treasure hunters simply use a sifter to search the top inch or two of the sand on the ocean floor. Others use a magnet to seek out any metallic objects.

Be Sure You Choose The Best Black Bear Hunting Outfitter For Your Hunt

The is certainly is no shortage of black bear outfitters to choose from due to the popularity of black bear hunting. For this reason it’s most important that you do your homework if you expect a bear hunt to remember for all the right reasons.

It’s your hard earned money so take your time and know what you should be asking because you can be sure that not all outfitters are equal. Know what to expect from the hunting adventure you order.

Here is a list that should answer some important questions that you may not think of when planning a black bear hunt. Be sure you study it and I wish you the best hunt of your life.

How many hunters per guide and how many non-hunters are allowed? How many persons per room? AND get pictures of the accommodations or at least a good description. I like to know what the outfitter is going to be feeding during my trip. I have one special place that feeds me lobster and steak, that along with a great hunting experience brings me back. Bear hunting can be a dirty job. Be sure you know if there is a laundry facilities. Know the arrival and departure times along with the location of pickup. It might be at the airport or you may need to rent a vehicle to get there. Don’t leave it until the last minute to work out these details. How many un-hunted active black bear bait sites are there per hunter? If I don’t like the site I am on can I change locations? Get a good description of their tree stand set up and bait sites although pictures would be better. Do they provide transportation to and from the bait sites? What are the hunting departure and pick-up times and how long after dark is the last hunter picked up? For us early birds is there a morning black bear hunt offered? Will the outfitter be on the premises all week? Is the outfitter accommodations licensed? How many hunters per guide and per vehicle on departure to the site? If I harvest my black bear early in the week what type of recreation are available? (ie: fishing, other hunts, near by towns or cities, etc…) What type of practice range do you offer for both bow & rifle? If my weapon malfunctions, is there a local archery or rifle shop near by? Once I have harvested my black bear, where will it be registered?
Who will skin and cut the meat?
Is there a freezer on site?
Is there a local taxidermist and do they provide a price list? References from both successful & non-successful black bear hunters? Are there any additional fees?

All of the above questions take time to be answered, but the right black bear outfitter should be glad to supply you with any or all of those answers. Once you have found an outfitter you feel happy and comfortable with, it is time to start preparing for your black bear hunting trip.

What You Can Do To Better Prepare For Your Black Bear Hunting Adventure

You want to be as prepared as you can be so you don’t have any negative surprises on your bear hunt. Be sure to have the outfitter send you a list of important things to take along for your weeks stay. Here are a few examples of items that I believe have made for better hunting experiences over the years:

Passport and proper identification for border officials. I was turned back home one year because I didn’t have my papers in order and it bummed me out for about a year. Bug Suit (if hunting during bug season) It’s always better to have it with you that wish you did. Two-way Radios are a great safety feature. Weather can change in just minutes so it’s best to bring clothes for all weather conditions (hot, cold, rain, etc…) Snack food items and garbage bags Camera – A picture is worth a thousand words and are much better to share than just your success story alone. Compact foldable soft weapon cases Cooler & Meat Bags Knife & Tool Kit Non-scented soaps, shampoos, etc…

There is one final very important note to mention. Have your outfitter send you a non-resident firearm declaration for you to prepare in advance. They take about 20 minutes to fill out at home, but will save you time with custom and border officials. Remember that all rifles will need to be removed from their respected cases, so don’t have them buried under your luggage and hunting gear.
