What drives you to find treasures?

[Yang Hao]

I'm not sure if this is the area to post a question like this. I'm curious to see your answers. What is your motivation to treasure seek? I'm not a treasure seeker like you but my curiosity for knowledge is the reason why I frequently visit this site. I wish all a great treasure hunting experience. I look forward to your answers. 88 and good luck on the hunt.

I do it in hopes of finding the most valuable of all treasures... What ever that is? I'll know when I find it! And I'll be remembered in the history books forever. So as I'm never to be forgotten!

I do it for history and the solitude of life. All things eventually get lost and I don't intend to let them stay that way.

It started as a way to make money to get gas or food, now it's a addiction that drives my every thought and action daily.

For Research & Investigation (R & I); LOVE for "history". NICE to find "Treasure", too...

For me, the quest for the greatest treasure led me on a 40+ yr path, where the culmination of everything and all experiences, led me to a place, where I found this treasure and it's gifts, (or actually, had it bestowed upon me).

Now, that I have this greatest treasure, like a living well, I have no need to drink from anothers' well. It has helped all my other treasures to be magnified and multiplied, be they no matter how big or small. Having this treasure has not stopped hardships, struggles, and adversities from coming my way, but it has assisted in my being able to overcome and be a victor of circumstance, instead of a victim. It doesn't stop the struggles of spirit and flesh, but allows my better mental health to over rule conditionings, improper instructions, and error.

The treasure I consider my greatest is: Peace that surpasses understandings.
This is why it may be difficult to describe and very very few find this treasure. Blessed are those, that have been within its presence.
Maybe I died and just don't know it , as I question the quandar of true life and death.

Wow, Pat! Hard to top that one!

For me, one word: curiosity

Holding something in my hand that I found, and that no one never would have otherwise. My oldest find is a grooved ax, about 4500 BP. Makes you sit right down and think about it.

My intense desire to find treasure stems from my interest in History, and being able to hold something that someone held, a hundred or more years ago!
My passion here is old roads and trails, but search other old locations too. Each and every "partifact" has great meaning, and if unsure what the heck it is, then research is needed. Like to get an i.d. and date off the items, for my friends' enrichment too!

I went from treasure hunter to historian and researcher.

Of course, I'm easily distracted ...................
