Your find that a lot of listings are by location ie state,county then treasure name. The "United States Treasure Atlas" by Thomas P. Terry is listed that way.
It is basically a listing and you work from there. I then delve into my state listed article collection that goes back to the '70s. The stories were more detailed in the older mags. I also use some old books like Dobie's which are far more detailed then the newer crop. Then the computer gets it's workout like looking for topo and sat images or looking for old maps in the Library of Congress, or old pictures that show the lay of the land as it was. I also have several books of old road maps that have proven usefull. I do most of this in the winter so I can search in the spring and summer. Research is what stands between a coin hunter and a treasure hunter. As the old saying goes "to each his own".
