Treasure in Turkey. Just the mention of Turkey has brought a glimmer to many a treasure hunter’s eye. This is the cradle of much of civilization. Abraham brought his father there to Haran. The Assyrians, Sumerians, Hittites, Seleucids, Greeks, Romans and Ottoman Empire have all possessed it at one time or another. It is the bridge between Europe, Asia and the Near East. The ancients have buried there people with their fortunes for thousands of years.

Yet don’t go there and hunt without all of the permits in place. In one small region that I visited, twenty American treasure hunters were serving ten years each for hunting without a permit within the first six months of 2010 alone. And several more were arrested and awaiting trial…. Don’t even think about it. A report about our team coming to a central region, how we were traveling and with whom preceded us within a short time of leaving Istanbul.

But we were part of a legal and invited archaeological expedition. We carried no shovels or excavation equipment. We were performing non-invasive surveys only. And the adventure will not soon be forgotten.

After the long plane ride, a ferry trip at night across the Marmar.

Our mission was to see if we could locate and image ancient tombs. Our first stop was to see a tomb that had been opened about 100 years ago. Here is the tomb and one of the identifying inscriptions.

And then it was on to great adventure.

We began to search for our unknown target, (a royal tomb, thousands of years old), using a specialized, proprietary, long distance frequency generator and confirmed our long distance location with our imaging equipment. We not only discovered the tombs, but began to see an overall picture. We are now able to identify the year it was built and from there began to identify who was buried there. Imaging also allowed us to discover depth and approximate amount of gold buried in each tomb.

Scans of the two tombs. These tombs were located by long distance location equipment (within 5 feet from a distance of nearly a mile away) and then imaged. The depth showed to be 10.14 feet to the covers (3 meters+). This was openly shared with those that were with us. What we did not share was there was a large amount of gold in the tombs that was at 24-26 feet.

After our departure, a group including the secret police began to dig the targets without permits. We did secure the photos and have placed one photo of a lid available to all.

Unfortunately, this was a tomb raid. All involved were arrested and are now serving ten years each for their part in it. I have been informed that several tons of gold were removed by officials from the Turkish government.

Other tombs were located some of them valuable in contents, some not. But important data was collected that allowed us to understand location and identification of tombs in Turkey. Photos below show a part of the identification system.

Buried Treasure has been the root of visions of grandeur from the beginning of time. Most people would think of pirates and chests of gold but the reality is that buried treasure in various forms exists within a few minutes of us all the time. Within the short history of this nation, it was discovered that the safest place to store one’s valuables was in the ground within sight of one’s residence. Farmers buried their valuables with their work in mind, fields, barns, fence rows and outbuildings. Eighty five percent of the population of the United States were farmers prior to the Great Depression. City dwellers’ buried treasure was placed in the floor of the basement or hidden in the walls of the house.

Since conflict was first called war, soldiers going to war would bury their money so the enemy would not profit should they fall in battle. Even these small caches of buried treasure are worth thousands of dollars today as most of the money buried prior to World War I and earlier than the Romans has great numismatic value.

The Spanish hid great troves of coins and buried treasure in anticipation of Indian revolts here in early American history. The Jesuit priests continued to bury church artifacts to protect the church valuables from being stolen by the Indians that were upset at the Spaniards. Wagon trains would bury all money, gold, silver and treasures in a communal hole before the Indian would attack. Western robbers would bury stolen heavy coins for a faster get away. Many robbers were caught, killed or plagued with the changing landscape after 20 years in prison. Buried treasure comes in many forms over a vast period of time, but waits patiently just out of sight for the light of day.

There are thousands of reasons that mother earth was trusted with buried treasure; “don’t trust banks, don’t trust the government, don’t trust the kids, everyone is out to steal my valuables, etc., don’t trust the partner, don’t trust the spouse.” One of the greatest reasons for buried treasure is the pure convenience of it, no matter where you are at, there you are, with plenty of terra firma to hide buried treasure. When the government made it illegal to own gold, Gold Act of 1933 ($10,000 fine for violators) you must realize that this nation had used gold and silver coins as money since the conception of the nation. Paper money was a just a guarantee that you could turn the paper “note” into the bank for REAL cash coins. This one covert act caused millions of coins to be buried on farms, ranches, backyards, basements and fields or hidden in a secret niche with the great hope that someday the owners could retrieve their coins and once again have real cash on hand. Little did the hiders realize that it would take over forty years before the ability to own gold would be returned to the US citizens. Meanwhile owners died without revealing even to their children the secret buried treasure, some lost memory of where they buried it, some moved away with intentions of coming back but never returned, some went to war and were lost, some divorced and went their separate ways and the buried treasure is still there, lost forever by the original owners. During this forty years the children were taught that paper was money and gold and silver coins belonged in a museum. The value of gold and silver was made to seem meaningless as no one could have it so why look for buried treasure?

Within fifteen minutes or less of where you are sitting now, you will find buried treasure hidden away by someone that you may never know and their story never told… If you suspect that you have the location of a buried treasure, but need a confirmation before you dig, contact Underground Discovery for imaging and recovery.

Underground Exploration by Underground Discovery is a three step process. Using the latest equipment and technology underground exploration tells us; if there is a target in the subject area, is the target an ore, void, cave, tunnel, prior excavation, ferrous or non-ferrous metal, and how deep the target is. Underground exploration:

• Starts first with a proprietary frequency generator that can pinpoint non-ferrous metals within an area of 5 feet at a distance of up to 4000 feet away. The long range frequency generated target is then confirmed by our electronic underground imaging equipment. The imaged target can narrow the underground exploration search area and time needed to search with pinpoint accuracy by telling the volume of non-ferrous metal, the depth and surrounding factors. Our specialized team will confirm if the target is indeed underground at the subject area and then confirm on location the precise area that needs to be subjected to underground pulse induction and/or then underground imaging.

• Second, we use a pulse induction detector (detects up to fifteen feet deep) for ferrous or non-ferrous metal. All targets deeper than 15 feet will be revealed with underground exploration using our electronic underground imaging equipment and our electronic pin pointer.

• Third, our underground imaging equipment is used to receive a signal that emanates from the center of the earth, called a gauss. This gauss “ray” signal comes up through the crust of the earth and defrays as it hits any of the above mentioned targets. The software of this equipment receives the gauss signal and identifies the target by outline and color allowing us through underground exploration to discover and reveal underground targets. The depth and composition of targets can be discerned at the same time. Should pinpoint accuracy be needed to tell the depth, we have an electronic “pin pointer” for even greater accuracy in determining depths of the targets.

Underground Exploration is the last frontier on our planet. Every day a new underground discovery is made, sometimes in the backyard and many times in the vast uninhabited lands that surrounds us. Underground Discovery will assist you in finding and recovering family buried treasure, mining ore veins, underground utilities, long lost troves, unmarked graves, outlaw booty, or just forgotten deposits. If your target is underground, our methods and techniques of underground exploration will reveal the target up to 200 feet deep.

Underground Discovery and exploration has been enhanced with new technology and computers. Long range detection, underground mapping, underground 3D imaging, now shows underground voids, caves and tunnels, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, disturbed ground (dug graves, pits or holes that have been dug and filled in again, even hundreds of years ago up to 200 feet deep).

Underground discovery using technology FAR SUPERIOR to “Ground Penetrating Radar”, that has three dimensional imagery and 99% accuracy up to 200 feet deep has been a dream for thousands of years. Imagine being able to locate buried non-ferrous metals such GOLD, SILVER, Platinum etc without ever turning a shovelful of dirt.

The long range detector will determine the exact location of a buried object (one ounce coin up to 450 feet away with 3 foot accuracy, larger or more objects can be detected up to a mile away) . Imagine being able to determine how deep the target is and what amount is there (no digging till you are sure). Imagine finding PVC gas or water lines, the direction they are going without digging. Septic tanks, drain fields located in minutes. Unmarked graves are located exactly, even if dug prior to 1920. Caves, tunnels or any void cavity down to 200 feet can easily be located. Ferrous metals can be found with equal success.

Underground discovery technology made possible Underwater discovery from above the water. Locate the buried treasure that your grandfather buried on the home place before you sell the property.
