If the site is a field or a hill, again draw a plan and start walking around looking for places where people would have been. Look for items in fields like pottery or bricks showing where building once stood. Look for trees that you can see are not natural, maybe property boundary trees that the people planted. Are there flowers growing that should not be there? This could indicate old flower beds. Are there any rocks on the hill that have been moved to make space, or for marking out areas of interest?

This could also be a warning to be on the lookout for explosive items. This lady was born in 1910, which if she was born in this area could give us some idea as to

Now is the time to look at the rubbish at a site that may indicate what the history of the site might hold. The junk above is part of a Model T Ford, early 1900’s. Look at other junk and see if it is from the same time period. But remember that this could only be an indication of age to the site, not definite of the time period. Other items
may confirm the time period though, so have a good look around. Just by using your eyes, you will be surprised at the amount of finds that the sites will give out. It definitely pays to know something about the sites you are detecting, than to just walk onto a piece of land and not knowing if anyone has even walked on the land. Imagine detecting for a good couple of hours to find that nothing and no one has ever been there? What a waste of time.
Do the research first, you will be glad that you did, and the finds will show the work you have put into the site. By: Peter Gill

14 thought as I grabbed my 16oz. bottle of Gatorade and found myself drinking almost the whole bottle to quench the thirst I had not realized I had. I guess I was too focused on the task at hand to listen to what my body was telling me. I had hoped the Gatorade would assist my condition and allow me to go about the task at hand.
By Chad T. Everson It was July, hot and humid and I was having a hard time getting going. I arrived on the site of the old farmstead about 2pm in the afternoon. Since I was running behind I really had not eaten or drank anything that morning but a Rice Krispy Bar and a can of Coke. It was hot, and after each hole, I felt myself getting ever more slow in my movements. Ok, now to get the full effect of this article please click on this YouTube video link to play the Son’s of the Pioneers Cool, Clear Water in the background as you read the rest of the article! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We-nX6qjNWQ
Well, I retrieved the old wood stove door, pottery, and square snake nails, and covered up that hole. My gut pain had not subsided and despite my Gatorade being gone, when I stood up, I was still dizzy. I went to the pickup to get a cold 12oz. of well water I had in the cooler and without realizing it, in one drink, it was gone. I was covered in sweat and with no wind and that Sun beating down, I could not get cool. I felt like a fish in a dried up puddle. I realized then that I had hydrated too late for the conditions. In fact, the night before I don’t remember having any water, just Coke. I had not prepared for my day by making sure I was well hydrated. Now, I was having some serious warning signs of heat stroke, and my day was over! I needed to pack up and leave and get my core temperature back to normal before it really got serious.
I reasoned with myself that I had yet to get into my day and kept plowing forward. The next hole was promising and the target was larger than my plug. Then, a stomach cramp hit me Luckily, I was able to get home and and as I stood up to man the shovel to create a bigger plug hole, I felt a bit keep hydrating myself so there were not many ill effects. It was interesting dizzy. though. On the way home, I drank The light bulb then began to fire… another Gatorade, and when I got HEAT STROKE! I shook off the home, I cut a lemon, juiced it into a
mason jar, and filled it with well water and drank that. Then I took a nap. I was totally and completely wiped out! The key to what helped me recover pretty fast from this situation was that I recognized my symptoms and hydrated. It was too late to recover and continue my day. I had let myself get into a dangerous pickle, but thankfully, I recognized what had happened, called it a day, and got the liquids I needed. Now, if I would of stayed away from cans of Coke the night before, instead drinking water, Gatorade, tea, or whatever you prefer to hydrate, and had a good breakfast with plenty of liquids, who knows how much better my day would have been? Here are 10 suggestions that Relic & Treasure Addicts should keep in mind during the Hot Summer Days! I pulled these from suggestions from the websites I will link at the end of this article.

6. Choose shady locations to get yourself out of the direct sunlight. Go to the woods, or tree shaded lanes! 7. It helps if the location has a breeze or air movement. It will keep the bugs almost off you and help your perspiration keep you cool! 8. The hot season is a perfect time to dig deep! Bottle digging especially if you can get a small tent up or be in a shaded and well-ventilated area can be quite enjoyable. The deeper you dig the cooler the earth will keep you even on the hottest of days. However, if you can’t get shade or a breeze, make other plans. 9. Don’t feel guilty not hunting in 90 degree or hotter weather! Your buddies may give you a hard time, but be safe rather than later being very sorry! Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can come on quickly and be deadly! 10. Make sure you always bring liquids with you! They are no good in your fridge back home or in a cooler in the vehicle if you are down a hole or a half mile away suffering from the early symptoms of dehydration, heat exhaustion or worse yet, heat stroke!

It's been a long time since any new treasure book concerning Oklahoma has been published and it has been a great honor to read and review a book written by Bill Wade. Hidden Treasures of Osage County, Oklahoma is a
collection of stories ranging from Spanish treasure to 1930's gangsters. A few of the stories I was familiar with, but even then Bill would add some additional information that I wasn't aware of. His insight into the treasure tales of Osage County can only come from a person who has spent years living in the area, researching, and talking with the oldtimers that unfortunately are no longer around. Though only vague directions and details are given for most of these stories a serious treasure hunter could in fact put themselves on the trail to hidden fortunes with (Continued on page 17)

some additional research. I can Bill Wade also relate to how hard it is to 1324 Canary Drive write about treasure and not give Pawhuska, Ok. 74056 so many details away that some other hunter swoops in and makes the find themselves. It wouldn't be treasure hunting if all the information is gift wrapped and handed to the reader. Another thing I really enjoy about this book is how Bill brings to the forefront an often overlooked part of the Sooner States history, "the Spanish".. These great explorers were traveling through and mining for mineral wealth in Oklahoma for centuries. I have documented a number of sites myself and look forward to a visit with Bill to take a look at his part of the state. I may even let him know about an area to the east of me in McClain County.
Here is a story from Bill’s Book! STAGECOACH SPILL By Bill Wade
As was common at the time, just after the turn of the century and well into the 1920s, the Osage Indians received their quarterly head right royalty payments in the form of cash. Payments were made at Pawhuska and for the most part with silver dollars. Bill is selling the book for $12 One story is that of two Osage and $4 shipping. It's well worth couples who together hired a stage in the price. For those who would Hominy. They rode to Pawhuska like to meet Bill and get an auto- where they received their money and graphed copy he has a tentative spent some time shopping in the date set for a book signing at the stores. During the day it had rained Osage County Historical Museum enough for the runoff to cause the in Pawhuska on April 14th 2012 creeks to rise. On the return trip to from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. If I can get Hominy they had to cross a few of free I think I'll make a trip to see these creeks. All went well until they
reached Birch Creek near Wynona. Here the driver underestimated the power of the current and in the midst of the crossing the coach overturned. The two couples and the driver escaped without serious injury, but the contents of the coach were spilled out into the creek. Some of the money was found still inside the coach and later some more was recovered from the creek bed, but to this day several hundred silver dollars are still there, strewn along the bottom and buried in the rocks, gravel, and mud. One has to find the stage trail or wagon road to Hominy from Pawhuska, locate the ford on Birch Creek, and seek out the landowner for permission, but even then there are no guarantees. I thank Otis Ikenberry for this story he learned from his father.

Hello allFor many years now I am approached quite often about my knowledge in the ANCIENT treasure areas. As to which I find myself relating to one or many tales of treasures to be found. Not only are they my stories, but also valuable information. Which may or may not, help the eager treasure hunter find his gold and glory. Today I sit here pondering on just where I should begin. As there are so many things I have to share. Share being a key word here. As so many treasure hunters take their (maps, knowledge, ideas, finds, and so forth) to the grave with them. Thus, leaving the next guy to somehow figure it all out on his own, and the odds of that are slim to none.
So a little about me: They call me Cowboy Bart in the treasure community. I began my quest for treasure back in the 80's. It started out with noticing strange/odd/out of place things while out fishing, camping, and even just driving down some now forgotten road. Since then, I have collected over a thousand symbols with the meanings behind them as well as taken over five thousand photos of symbols, maps, markers, gods, treasure, follow points, etc. I have also written several journals on ANCIENT sites. I have compiled and written two books. (The Hand of God and a handbook dealing with symbols, ciphers, codes, and maps). I have also unlocked the secrets in finding such places dealing with early Aztec, early Mayan, the bird culture, Jes-
uit and of course, Spanish. I do hope that what I share within my article will aid many of you in your own quests.
Double Daggers: Double daggers can consist of many different designs. But they must always consist in a group of four. They can be triangles, squares, circles, swords, daggers, faces, and the list continues on. The Ancient reasoning behind this comes from many different cultures, yet all have the same basic thought and meaning behind them. For Spanish, the double daggers are in comparison to the four buttons that many had on the front of their pants. In other cultures it refers (Continued on page 19)

The smile refers to the place of opening, more commonly bottom of the cliff that lies directly used, "a doorway". behind the camera view. One example, Fig. 1, of what double daggers can look like.

It is also a bread box. “Man does not live by bread alone.� This tells us that we also need other
The rock on the left has a circle carved around the two round indented circles. This means an entrance or cave is nearby.
Now the last bit of information is shown here in Figure 4. Here the rock on the left shows two more lines between the circles. This also means an entrance or doorway hides not far from here.
One can always find enough information once they take the time to really look at what is available. Even here at this spot, if time had weathered the rocks, there would still be enough information to find what lay hidden. Just a short 15 paces away a cave was (Continued on page 21)

Here are a few symbols which may help you.
The letter “F”: This letter means cave. Always go in the direction of the open part of the F. When doing this you must go directly toward the lowest area or the highest area. This depends on which way the F is facing.
The letters “P.C.”: When you find these two letters you must look for the eye. It should be real close to these letters. That’s where you want to be.
The letters “A M”: These two letters are placed for protection. Auspice Mary, the Holy Mother. These can be found on the trail or route as you come nearer to possible riches.

The first time I ever heard of Chad Hurst (or anyone like him) was thru a mutual friend. I was throwing down my best “VintageFetcher” sales pitch, and she said she knew this guy who dug bottles. I’m not really the bottle guy, so I had no frame of reference on the subject. The best pickers will tell you, channels are everything. I needed a bottle guy. “He digs out crappers!” She exclaimed. I stood in silence, because, well, how do you follow that? I politely inquired what plumbing company he worked for,

Chad digs privies. A privy is an outdoor toilet. The Office. The outhouse. I had never heard of anything like it.
“I chose digging privies at a very young age. I wasn’t finding the quality and aged glass I was interested in.

treasures, Chad states “My best dug bottle went for over $12,000, but most digs produce common bottles. In the past I dug for the money, but that put a lot of pressure on the digging. Now, I just add to my collection. I would describe myself as a collector, very picky on crude examples. I collect what I like regarding eye appeal, even if the bottle is not valuable. If it has crudity, I will collect it.” I really enjoyed getting to know Chad. It continues to befuddle me just how and why these items were down a privy. Some of the items are works of art.

Hello all, Some of ya’ll may know me from my YouTube channel Southern Style Pickin’. Well, sorry to say I’ll soon be deleting the channel and moving on to bigger and better things. When one door closes another bigger and better opens. Over the past couple of months I’ve been creating my own healthy snack food company Adam’s All Natural™. This opportunity arose from a school business competition I got involved in, and I’m very grateful I did. I’ll soon be going to New York City in October to pitch my business to a panel of judges in hopes to take home the big prize. Our flagship product is entitled Cajun Crunch™. This healthy and all natural trail mix blend consists of: whole grain cereals, nuts, dried fruits, and spices. This product has many health benefits such as: providing more whole grains in the daily diet, lowering cholesterol, helping to boost metabolism, and assisting in the process of digestion. Locals in the area LOVE this product and we’re currently in the process of applying to our local community farmers market. You may ask yourself, “Why choose Adam’s All Natural™ over other healthy snacks?” The answer is that people will only eat healthy food if it
tastes great and they love the product, and by ers, can make purchase inquiries. far, Adam’s All Natural™ is definitely the Adam’s All Natural where “Healthiness better tasting option. Equals Happiness™” This business has changed my life and I want You can find out more about me perto share it with the world.

I found Kenny on Facebook and soon struck up a friendship. I asked Kenny to consider submitting an article for Temerity Magazine and he must of scratched his head. This retired law enforcement officer, business owner and part time police officer for Cadott, Wisconsin Police Department, also hunts relic and treasure and is president of his local metal detecting club, “Three Seasons Treasure Hunters, LLC.” I don’t know where he finds the time and yet he still manages to get out metal detecting almost every evening.
The Three Seasons Treasure Hunters LLC was asked by Rusty Volk, Northern Wisconsin State Fair Admin if our club would be interested in putting a booth in the Northern Wisconsin State Fair this year. I have been hunting the fair grounds for years and keep finding old coins and jewelry here.
I will also send you pictures of this repair. I will be sending other pictures of the fair grounds and some of our hunts. Let me know if I can be of more service. Thank You'

I tested out this new detector today from Wildgame Innovations. it was called the Swamp Series MX200 Ground EFX Metal Detector. Well, I did not have high expectations as I'm a firm believer in that you get what you pay for and this was a sub 200 dollar model.

Remember your first detector probably was on par with this one as an advanced radio shack style unit. On the plus side it can help you find your way back home should you get lost. I would not recommend this to Intermediate or advance users, strictly for beginners.

Catching a bug with a fever. By Robert Biggs Being successful at prospecting isn't easy, an inexperienced prospector can be in the right spot they would want to be in and not even see or find any gold to amount to much at all. For the most part, the average prospector only deals with fine particles of gold and they can be hidden very well by mother nature. The amount you would have to find per day to make a decent wage is becoming more and more likely as the price of gold climbs. At $1600 per ounce a penny weight is $80. 1/20th of one ounce which is a very small amount of gold flake, of which is fluently found in vast areas rich enough to now make small scale mining profitable. The Earth is a complicated globe but semi predictable. Mother nature wasn't shy at where she wanted to place things, she was pretty much in a furry and merely swirled the minerals
throughout the planet in a multitude of repeating fractal fashions. So having "GOLD" in your area is highly likely. Governor Schwarzenegger had it right when he said "GO FOR THE GOLD ITS OUT THERE CALIFORNIA !" , but its in your area too and its out there waiting ! There are allot of rules and regulations that go with prospecting, so do not overlook any of them, especially about the time you want to get serious. trust me its worth knowing the perimeters at which one can operate safely. And YES all the good spots are claimed up....once you start doing your footwork in the field and in the appropriate lands office, looking at available areas to claim, you will have noticed most likely, that there are areas of available claiming and or prospecting on, between claims and adjacent to most claims, that are just as rich as they are. So don't fall for the "if you can find 1" one liner. The more you do your homework, the easier it gets. All claims should be posted with a valid claim form which has its legal description pointing to its corners which will aid you in your search for
an area unclaimed. If your unsure you can ask the appropriate agencies for help with the claim maps, in deciding whether or not your plan needs a permit and as well as but not limited to all claiming information.. In most instances the small scale miner does not need a permit, but always check first. Be safe and always follow respective prospecting etiquette. Were in this together and it works better if we could just all get along. First step at pursuing a high fever is picking a great "GOLD" recovery system for the removal of your gold from your material. A great recovery system is extremely important. Not to mention the simplest and cheapest one as possible, as well at first, then who knows prospecting can truly be a prosperous adventure. A "Gold" spiral wheel, the Blue bowl, A trammel, mineral jig and the concentrating table is a short list of some of the different varieties of concentrators that are nearly automatic "GOLD" concentrators. Everyone should acquaint themselves with the variety of everything to become comfortable with the system they choose. Links attached at the bottom for you to browse thru are a few I am recommending and there's allot of information out there with tons of videos so do a little research on line or get demonstrations at your local mining supply store before picking a system. One can also get a guest pass to participate at any group event, with almost all the prospecting associations. So if you know any of them, hit them up, The New 49ers, GPAA and The LDMA are just a few, they love to share knowledge to help you succeed ! Not to mention its also possible you might want to join one of these groups. For example; I'm picking the Spiral wheel for a recovery system. The wheel does require screening the material before processing it thru the wheel. Its simple easy to set up with minimal variables to control. It has its limits of the amount of material you can process, but, so does the small scale prospector. The wheel can extract your clean free gold hourly so you will know right away how your doing. Speed and quantity are factors but a sim-

ple quality method will prove itself many times over. If you were just starting out and only had enough for a spiral wheel, buckets, screens, a 12 volt RV battery w/ charger, (solar is a plus), gold pans, magnet, sucker bottle, gold vial and a shovel you would have a first class gold recovery system. This is a basic system but a proven system. I would consider this type system as being the first thing I would invest in and operate it in the field for awhile before upgrading. It really does a great job ! I started dredging in 1981 and always found that this method to work great in small streams, picking bedrock and high banking Hopefully the area and the material you pick are rich in gold for its easier to recover than to discover. Eventually you will find an area that will meet your needs. This is an issue we all deal with and I found out the hard way. As easy as I could put gold bearing material in my gold pan I could put it right back in the river and never see it. The easiest feasibility starts with panning, and if you can find a few small particles panning, it just may be worth your time to investigating the base material further. When deciding where to prospect always keep in mind that gold is heavy and it travels in the path of least resistance and is in heavier concentrations close to and on bedrock. Having decided on material to process its time to put the wheel to use. The least you touch the gold bearing material, with
your hands or equipment the better. Always keep a clean and oil free environment, remembering to thoroughly wash all your concentrating equipment. The most basic method is to fill your buckets with your gravel/material and screen to 3 different grades the finest being the first to immediately process thru the wheel. (Screens, ones designed to fit a five gallon bucket for convenience, two different sizes, a #2 and a #30,meaning squares per square inch, you may find there are several to choose from, but something similar to these two in squares per square inch size will be sufficient for your needs.). All the material that passes through the #30 screen can now be processed through the wheel at a relaxed tilt, and at this point you should be able to pan the other two sizes safely with-out losing any "GOLD". The relaxed tilt will allow for the wheel to easily separate the gold, black sands and other heavier concentrates out of your material. Once you have completed the first process of running all your fines thru the wheel do a quick wash out of the wheel, and rerun your concentrate thru the wheel, this time at a steeper setting as to not allow any black sands to climb the steps to the center of the wheel. As you practice you will find that the wheel is easy to adjust the tilt. Your first setting of the wheel should of allowed the heaviest material to pass first, hopefully being just clean free gold ready to be placed in a vial, set it to the side and, relax the tilt by one revelation wait for a few minutes for the wheel to process the concentrate and take the heavier material the wheel separated from your concentrate again to another pan for a little finer processing, If necessary to remove a few black sands via a magnet and/or a sucker bottle, but
this material should be nearly clean placer gold as well for the most part or your not letting the machine do the work for you. As you continue to do this process you will agree with me I'm sure that you've successfully started a great recovery system that will in turn help you to be successful at catching the gold bug with a fever that just set in . Its easy to save all your different stages and reprocess to see where if any you have lost any amounts worth paying attention to . This is a very basic system for a small scale prospector, but one that will allow for a successful small scale mining opera-
tion. If there is gold there your going to find it and be able to prove it !

Hello again! In this article I am going to discuss Hearts. It seems everyone is always going on and on about Hearts. Hearts are always a big topic, “although not one of my favorites”. The reason behind this is: Treasure Hunters always argue over the Heart and its’ true meanings. Fig. 1 In the previous article in this issue, I spoke of “Auspice Mary”. As we can clearly see the letters “A M”, here in this photo. The letters “A M” are placed inside the Heart as protection over a site. This site most likely did or still does contain treasure. “Only because of the importance of the Auspice Mary having been
placed within the Heart” as shown here. There is also more information presented here that often goes over looked. The straight line carved next to the Heart indicates the direction. In this case
