New Member Looking for Advice

[BuffaloMan]

Hey everyone!

I am new to the forum and have only just begun learning about treasure hunting. I am specifically interested in sunken treasure that I would find on shipwrecks. I was wondering where I might begin.

It would be great if anyone could point me in the direction of any helpful books or other literature available that would help me understand this particular treasure hunting field better.

Thank you

BuffaloMan, welcome to tnet. I would recommend The Treasure Divers Guide by John Potter. Come to the treasure hunters cookout at the Pen wood lodge in Sebastian on April 29th. You'll meet a lot of treasure hunters that can give you advice.

I would echo what the Old Man just said, welcome you to the forum and suggest reading a lot of the old threads here on TNet.
Here's a thread that answers the question about required reading:

and another few links from my favorites to get you started:
