 Home of the Great Colorado Treasure Hunt

You'll find some great information and tips here, but you'll also be surprised by some of the topics and techniques that are covered on our website. We take a broad view of treasure hunting, so while there are pages on metal detecting and ghost towns, there are also ones on searching for lost diamonds in parking lots and other ways to make profitable discoveries of many sorts. If there is something valuable to be found and taken as your own, I consider that a treasure.

Treasure HuntingWhy not join an actual treasure hunt game in Colorado, with valuable treasures and prizes? You'll be tracking down clues in some of the most beautiful locations in the west. Even better, it's absolutely free to join the hunt.

Note: Since starting this website a few years ago, we have moved to Florida and I am no longer able to monitor the clues to make sure they are still there. As a result, it may not be possible to complete our challenge using the information found here. But rest assured that if you try, you will see some beautiful places, and if you find enough of the clues to win some of the minor prizes you will still be able to claim them (my email will always be available on the contact page).

To get started, see the following pages: The Clues and The Rules and The Prizes.

When You Pan for Gold Matters - The timing of your search for gold matters, especially in areas that have other prospectors out there in the streams. Winter freezes cause gold in rocks and earth to break lose and migrate into streams, so early spring is a good time to check. Also try after large storms, as soon as the river or creek has settled down enough to work in it.

Here's a fun video I found on YouTube by Rick McKeon, showing some of what he found during the course of his first year treasure hunting. He also demonstrates how to clean up some items, whether coins for spending or other items that can be sold...

Find This Buried treasure!

Forrest Fenn hid millions of dollars' worth of gold and gems, and he is inviting treasure hunters everywhere to come and find it. At 82 he figured it is time to start giving away some of what he has accumulated over the years. As of spring of 2013, nobody has yet found the treasure chest containing the fortune. It is thought somewhere in the mountains of his home state of New Mexico, and as explained in one television report and interview, there are clues in a poem that Fenn wrote.
