 Report on May 27, 2025                                          * Gold Beneath the Grass: A Mysterious Chest Found in Vermont This New England town is not short of talk these days. Buried treasure including old coins and antiques have been found in St.Albans, Vermont. Taking care of vegetation in Taylor Park seemed so every day for Kelly Wakefield. That she was startled by her find would be an understatement. Kelly had been reading the book "Lady Liberty's Treasure Hunt." The book gives clues to the reader about hidden treasure in the Northeast. In spring, as she worked in the park, she dug up a skull that displayed a skull and crossbones. On a stone was a code that was just like one seen in her book. This accounted for her continued digging for treasure. Wakefield found herself near a shrub.  Low and behold, she found silver and gold coins. In addition, there were antique...

                                                                                * During a leisurely walk through the scenic Kutnohorsk Region in the Czech Republic, an unsuspecting woman stumbled upon a remarkable treasure—a hidden stash of over 2,150 medieval silver coins dating back nearly 900 years. Once carefully stored in a ceramic pot, the coins had remained untouched since the turbulent early 12th century, safeguarding a piece of history from a time of political upheaval. Although the pot itself had deteriorated, the coins were a preserved relic, offering a glimpse into the lives and events of a bygone era. Experts from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Czech Silver Museum in Kutná Hora are now working to analyze and restore this a...

  A sunken temple, a sanctuary in Egypt, was found in 2023 revealing one huge treasure. Artifacts discovered in the temple include gold objects and jewelry. A spectacular pillar made of lapis lazuli was found in a canal off the coast. Overflowing with treasure, this underwater discovery is astonishing. Collapsing halfway through the second century B.C., the temple was dedicated to Amun, an Egyptian god. Pharaohs traveled to this place of distinction to be given the title of "universal king." Once a port city of Thonis-Heraclaion, this abandoned collapsed building (underwater) 4.3 miles from the current coast of Egypt, was destroyed by the combination of an earthquake and resulting tidal wave.  Turning into a cauldron of liquified mud, this ancient city sank into the Nile Delta. Archaeologists unearthed silver ritual instruments, and alabaster containers that held perfumes and unguents. In addition to the above-mentioned treasures, divers discovered preserved wooden structures...

It was captured by the infamous pirate Captain Samuel "Black Sam" Bellamy in 1717, during the Golden Age of Piracy. Bellamy transformed the Whydah into his flagship, using it to plunder other vessels along the American coast. Tragically, the Whydah Gally met its end on April 26, 1717, when it was caught in a violent storm off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The ship sank, taking with it Bellamy, most of his crew, and a vast treasure of gold, silver, and other valuables. Only two crew members survived the wreck. The shipwreck was discovered in 1984 by underwater explorer Barry Clifford. It remains the only fully authenticated pirate shipwreck ever found. Among the artifacts recovered are cannons, coins, and the ship's bell, which bears the inscription "The Whydah Gally 1716." Excav...

 Crypto millionaire John Collins-Black, a California man, hid more than $2,000,000 in 5 boxes across the United States. It wasn't the first treasure hunt of its kind. Back in 1979, British author Kit Williams published "Masquerade," a children's book filled with riddles that led readers to a hidden golden rabbit. This prized treasure was found three years later, though reportedly with the aid of insider information. Fast forward to 1982, and Byron Preiss introduced "The Secret," a quest to discover 12 treasure boxes. Clues were embedded in cryptic verses with lines like, "Thucydides is/North of Xenophon/Take five steps/In the area of his direction." Despite Preiss' passing in 2005, only three of these treasure boxes have been found to date, as reported by the Boston Globe. Several other treasure hunts followed, including one for a golden owl. Forrest Fenn’s treasure hunt, however, stood out due to its widespread appeal. The hunt offered an esti...
