My Top Treasure Hunting Tips
1. Bring a husky along. They are very good at digging.
2. Don't assume the minerals are only in certain materials. They could be anywhere.
3. don't give up just because you haven't found anything yet.
4. rainy days are always good days to hunt.
5. Bring towels to keep from damaging your specimens.

My Best Places to Find Cash and Treasure
1.I go to the banks for cash.
2.but for treasure, I like Walker Valley, Mount Vernon Washington
3.Red Top, Blewett Pass Washington
4.First Creek, Blewett Pass, Washington
5.So far that's all I've been to.

I've noticed a few people saying that thunder eggs can be found at Quartz Creek, Can anyone tell me if it is mainly solid nodules found there or is it a good spot for geodes as well? Thanks.
