Many people have a dream about finding treasure, and there are individuals out there that do have information on potential treasure sites, but due to location, legality, experience, finances, lack of proper equipment, who to trust, etc., do not pursue it. That is where North Bay Treasure Hunters comes in. NBTH will do the research, check the legality (which is a growing issue) search for and find the treasure, if it exists. Any person who has seriously pursued a business in this area knows that it is not easy and over 90% of the work is research, research, research. Unlike the movies which show treasure hunts as a successful adventure most of the time, this is not the case in real life. The majority of treasure hunts, land or sea, are not successful. If you believe you have a potential treasure lead and are not in the position to pursue it, contact us and we can discuss it. All information is kept confidential and we also have non-disclosure agreements that we can send.
We are currently seeking possible leads in the western United States area, if you are outside this area we may still want to look into it or we may be able to direct you to someone who can help you.
