Antique Bottles

Antique bottles are truly a part of history. The different types of bottles tell a story about a particular industry or way of life.

Geodes

Geodes, sometimes called Thunder Eggs are forms in volcanic rocks where water has worn away a pocket in the rocks leaving behind different minerals in the cavity such as iron, quarts and agate. The large variety of elements that is used to create thunder eggs accounts for the differences in size and color of the specimen. No two will ever be exactly the same. The larger the mineral sample and the more colors that show will determine the value of your find. The largest geode ever found was the size of a minivan discovered in Put in Bay, Ohio.

Meteorites

Treasures are falling from the sky. A natural object originating in outer space that survives the impact with the earth’s surface is called a meteorite. Most meteoroids burn up when entering the Earth's atmosphere. However, it has been estimated that over 500 meteorites do reach the surface each year and they will range in size of a marble to basketball size or larger. Only about five or six will be recovered each year and pound for pound, meteorites are move valuable than gold.
If you are lucky enough to have discovered a meteorite you could get about $4.00 a gram or $125.00 an ounce. Meteorites have been found all over the world but some of the best hunting places to start looking for them include deserts and dry lake beds. Known meteorite impact areas like Barringer Meteor Craterin in Arizona and Odessa Meteor Crater in Texas can also produce good results. Meteorites have also been found in California, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada.
Morel Mushrooms

Hunting for morel mushrooms typically runs from early April and runs through June depending on your geographical location. Moral mushrooms are found in small patches under dead or dying elms, ash, apple and even pine trees. The seem to like to hide under or near thickets or other plant small plants growing in the area but since the ground cover varies a lot each patch of mushrooms you come upon may be growing in totally different conditions. Typically the day time temperature around 60 to 70 degrees, night time temperatures not less than 40 degrees and the soil temperatures of about 50 to 60 degrees with good ground moisture levels are ideal for moral growing.
Sunken Treasure

Real hunting for sunken treasure is not as fictional or fantastic as you might think. There are many scuba centers and guided tours that allow a tourist to scour some of the best sites where treasure might be found. And while many of these scuba centers are located in exotic places like off the coast of the Bahamas or in the Gulf of Mexico, some sunken treasure can be found in much more accessible areas such as off the coast of the Jersey shore and California.
