How do you win treasure hunt easily? ›

Working together and discussing each clue will enable teams to more effectively solve them. Many clues contain wordplay that can have multiple meanings, and interpreting them quickly can lead to mistakes. Collaboration is vital for the team's success.

YES, you can make a living hunting treasure. There are people who do it every day. But, like any job, it involves work. There are several different levels of treasure hunting to consider.

Treasure Hunt is a retailer in the secondary market, which means that we purchase goods from traditional retailers who have had a hard time selling those items through normal channels of distribution due to errors in purchasing, increased competition or down economies.

A treasure hunter is a person who, as either a vocation or avocation, searches for sunken, buried, lost, or hidden treasure and other artifacts.

The first rule when planning a treasure hunt is to start with the treasure itself then work backwards. This way you always know which clue to place next. If it's for a birthday or Christmas, you may want to leave a small present at each location, then the final treasure at the end of the hunt.

The practice of treasure-hunting can be controversial, as locations such as sunken wrecks or cultural sites may be protected by national or international law concerned with property ownership, marine salvage, sovereign or state vessels, commercial diving regulations, protection of cultural heritage and trade controls.

As well as items of precious metal over 300 years old (such as gold or silver), Treasure includes groups of coins or prehistoric metal. You must report these to the local Coroner within 14 days of finding them. Breaking the law by illegal detecting or failing to report Treasure may lead to prosecution.

The finder's rights depend on how the found property is categorized. If the found property is lost, abandoned, or treasure trove, the person who found it gets to keep it unless the original owner claims it (so actually, unless the original owner claims it, the rule is “finders keepers”).

In retail, “treasure hunting” is a system where a full stock of items is not offered. Instead, a greater variety of items is available, with only a few of each item on shelves. In this model, there might only be one or two of a particular item available at any given time, with shelves sorted by category, not product.

The IRS Uses Fair Market Value

“Whether or not you sell the found object has no bearing on the fair market value requirement. Even if you choose to merely keep and use the thing you find, the value of it is taxable.”

The clues will narrow down the search area while offering clues to a more specific prize location. The first Utah Treasure Hunt was held in 2020 and had a prize of just $5,000. Multiple treasure hunts have been held each year since then, with cash prizes as high as $30,000 awarded.

Beaches are always good locations to go hunting. They are frequented often by people and despite being searched regularly, can turn up new findings. You may need permission to search churches and dig around them. Once permission is granted, a buried treasure trove of items could be found, including old coins.
