Treasure Hunting Research

Besides dry land digging or underwater treasure hunts, we have yet to cover a few very important treasure hunting techniques. These require no physical strength; no special equipment; and no travel.

Antique shops are sometimes cute and quaint, but more often look like a place you wouldn't set foot in. Why not? Because everything is so old, and used...

That's exactly the point! Who knows what kind of treasures you may find in an antique shop? People send their items to these shops when they don't want them anymore. Or the antiques dealer has done the real work for you; traveling around to find objects of interest from years past.

Either way, there are deals to be had. Sometimes even the dealer doesn't realize the value of an item. If you've ever watched Antiques Roadshow, a popular TV where people have their antiques appraised by professionals in front of a national audience, you should know that people grab up deals in these shops every day.

There are plenty of treasures to be found in antique shops, if you know what you are looking for.

Old photographs

Photographs of famous people might have some monetary value. Likewise, complete albums of certain families or groups could also be valuable to some descendents of those in the photos. Even if the photo seems obscure or relatively worthless, it is a treasure if you find it beautiful and can find a place to display it in your home.
