Montana
There are stories of lost treasures around the world by land and by sea;
however, the State of Texas has its own legends! Since Montana is larger than
life, so are the stories that can be told about lost treasures. Since Montana is
named The Treasure State, there may a lot of truth to the treasure
legends!
Treasure hunters have been looking for sunken and buried treasure for centuries.
There have been many books and records made of legends, and actual findings of
coins and other valuable relics. You can see these findings in museums and other
places of interest.
Whether some of these stories are fact or fiction, no one really knows for
sure anymore. The hunt or chase of these lost treasures is a wonderful past
time. Who knows, maybe you will be one of the lucky ones that discovers the
mother lode of all time!

Gold Panning
Are you an outdoor
enthusiast? Do you like to hike and explore nature and wild life areas? If you
do, why don't you take up gold panning as a hobby? You can get the whole family
involved in it.
Panning for gold is the most common, and least expensive method for recovering
gold. Look around springs, creeks and rivers especially in the gravel beds. In
the mountains where there are water run offs that may open the earth to what is
underneath.
All you need is a gold pan and little else to put you in business. Carry your
supplies in a back pack along with your survival needs. To order your gold pan,
