I've never made a major find or anything worth a lot of money. If I ever do, nobody will know about it but me.
The curious hunter knows there are far more phenomenal finds NOT being shared
by the members of the forum than those achieving banner fame. Certainly the lurkers out there are gathering information,
and sharing none. Wise members are likely less-than-forthcoming at times, too.
I figure there are only a few reasons to keep your big finds a secret:
Any others you'd add to the list?
- The find was illegally obtained
- Ownership of the find is disputed.
- The finder wishes to avoid taxation
- The finder wishes to avoid attention or close scrutiny of his/her life
And what do you think is being found out there that's not being shared here?-Ammo
Your definition and my definition of treasure is two totally different things. Have you looked at my avatar, lol. There is some really good folks on here, and we all come to learn. Also to share what we can. One truth is for sure, finding the treasure, and getting the treasure is two different things. I want nothing to do with it, I just like walking in the foot steps of those who did it 200 years ago. Ammon I see you hunt the desert too, the things we see is the real treasure. The stories we talk about, is the gem.People love talking ... that's why there's a TNet with people who post all kinds of drivel about not-treasure.

Once I called a Arche that works for the State and told him I had found some arrow heads on a road building project His reply" you shouldn't have picked them up" So why waste the time reporting anything you find someone will want it.
Here in Egypt things go missing from museums all the time. Many of the best finds also sit in state storage facilities.
Those aren't really the ones I'm talking about, though. Personal finds are the ones I'd love to know about, but I expect no information from this crew! Loose lips sink ships.
I mean, if there ever was a Beale treasure, is it still there? Why would anyone report such a find, rather than just keeping it a secret and letting the poor, foolish researchers keep up their futile quest? It's easier to hide a found treasure when others keep looking, thinking it's lost.
