Treasure is a cache of valuables, frequently 1 which was considered lost or forgotten waiting to be found again. Some jurisdictions legally specify what is Treasure, such as in the British Treasure Act of 1996.
Treasure hunting is the physical search for treasure which has been a prominent human activity for millennia and the treasure hunter is somebody who either as vocation or avocation searches for sunken, buried, lost or concealed treasure and other artifacts. Lost treasure is a crucial part of the general myths surrounding pirates and Old West outlaws. According to popular belief, thieves and others regularly buried their stolen fortunes in remote places, meaning to return for them lateron, regularly by the employment of a treasure map. For the longest time, a treasure map has typically been regarded as a document made on parchment, paper or fabric that contains drawings, pics and directions to a hidden buried treasure. But now, in this new digital world, the view of a treasure maps has developed into something new. Today, some of the best treasure maps available are able to help direct Treasure hunters by Global Positioning System (GPS) latitude and longitude navigation. This is the way ahead for treasure Hunting!
Buried pirate treasure is a favourite literary theme, there are only several documented cases of pirates genuinely burying treasure, and no documented cases of a historical pirate treasure map. One documented case of buried treasure shows Francis Drake who buried Spanish gold and silver after raiding the train at Nombre de Dios . After Drake went to find his ships, he returned 6 hours later, retrieved the loot and then set sail for Great Britain. Drake did not produce a map. Another case in 1720 involved English Captain Stratton of the Prince Eugene who, after allegedly trading rum with pirates in the Caribbean, buried his treasure close to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay . One of his crew, Morgan Miles turned him in to the authorities, and it's presumed the loot was recovered. In any case, Captain Stratton was never considered a pirate, and made no map. The construct of pirates or looters making a map versus keeping directions in their mind probably denotes the quickness or lack thereof in their original plan in mind for retrieval.
In recent times, the initial stages in the development of archaeology included a significant aspect of the treasure hunt. Heinrich Schliemann's excavations at Troy, and later at Mycenae, both turned up significant finds of treasureen artifacts. Lately, most serious Treasure hunters have started working underwater, where modern technology permits access to wrecks containing property which were formerly inaccessible. Starting with the diving suit and moving on through Scuba and later to ROVs, each generation of technology has made more wrecks accessible. Many of these wrecks have resulted in the recovery of many fascinating treasure artifacts from Spanish fleets as well as many others. Treasure hunting is condemned by a rising number of countries and UNESCO issued a chart for the protection of the underwater cultural heritage in 2001.
For some, on the opposite side of the treasure hunting spectrum, Geocaching is a treasure hunting game and out of doors sporting activity in which the partakers, called geocachers, use a GPS receiver or mobile device and other navigational methodologies to stash and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.
A normal cache is a little waterproof container containing a log book where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Larger boxes such as plastic storage boxes or ammo boxes can also contain items for trading, generally toys or knick-knacks of little value. Geocaching is often called a "game of high technology hide and seek", sharing many aspects with bench-marking, trig-pointing, orienteering, null hunting, letter-boxing, and way-marking.
Geocaches are presently placed in over one hundred nations around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica. After 10 years of activity there could be over 1,532,000 active geocaches published on numerous internet sites and there may be more than 5,000,000 geocachers worldwide.
