Another treasure hunter has made an amazing find within 10 miles of his home.
David purchased a home in Minnesota to refurbish and sell. While david inspected the insulation in a wall, he was happy to find a comic book. This wasn't any comic book, this issue was the first appearance of Superman. This 1938 comic book was sealed in the wall and used as insulation for over 70 years.
What could his amazing find be worth? The comic is still in an auction and the latest bid is $113, 000!
This one find will pay more than 10 times his investment in this home project.

a "Mudlark?" What is a Mudlark?
It seems that a strange creature named a "mudlark" visits The River Thames during lowtide.
A mudlark is someone who pulls on wading boots and scours the banks and mud flats during low tide looking for discarded items. Mudlarks have found 2,000 year old Roman coins, numerous pipes, china, and even anglo-saxon fishing traps. Many mudlarks used metal detectors, probes, and other tools to find discarded items in the muddy river.
Mudlarks, like all treasure hunters, need to be careful. Some mudlarks have found sharp steel debris, fishing hooks, and even aireal German bombs sunk in the mud.
Could sunken treasures be near you?
We have also seen another forward-thinking treasure hunter that exemplifies our ethic of "finding treasures within 10 miles of where you live." This man wanders the New York City streets looking for lost items. Anything that can't be identified or returned is either pawned or sold.
How much does he make from his treasure hunting? He says he makes an average of $180 a day by finding coins, paper money, and even jewelry in street cracks or grates. This man says he finds many diamonds that fall out of rings and even many cellular phones.
When is your next treasure hunt?

A lost city found?
What would you say if I told you a lost city filled with artifacts, large statues, dozens of ships, and hundreds of gold coins was waiting for hundreds of years for the right treasure hunter to find?
In these days of satellite mapping and exploration, such a place couldn't really exist...or could it?
Under 150 feet of water in Egypt's Bay of Aboukir the lost city of Heracleion has been found. Considered by most as a fanciful legend, the amount of treasures is astounding:
-over 60 ships
-hundreds of gold coins
-500 plus anchors
-a few large statues (12-16 feet high)
-hundreds of artifacts from everyday life (utensils, etc.)
The city of Heracleion was a trading center until around 700 A.D. Some event, possibly erosion caused allowed the city to be overtaken by the ocean.
A legendary lost city discovered filled with artifacts and riches.
