I might as well, invest on antique pieces.. not really antique, antique.. but say, old appliances, like tv's in picture tubes, metal electric fans, etc. These make a good collection too!

"Treasure" can mean almost anything. A small list of collectibles might include: Currency, especially collectible notes. Bullion. Stamps. Jewelry. Antiques. Guns. Gems. Rare documents. Clocks and watches. Knives. Autographs. Rare bottles. Railroad artifacts and documents. Audio records. Diaries. Tools. Stained glass. Old appliances. Clothing. Radios. Military artifacts. Photographs. Art glass and china. Carnival glass. Cookie jars. Dolls. Indian artifacts. Marbles. Baseballs and baseball cards. Decoys. Postcards. Books. Silverware. Paintings. Art work. Antique automobiles. Rugs. Tokens. Posters. Musical instruments. Insulators. Flags. Coins. and so on..

Even if they're buckles, buttons etc. from campsites and battlefields of different war soldiers, they're highly prized by collectors.

Many hunters search old playgrounds and house sites using metal detectors for old coins.
You can find treasures with just some investment and some enthusiasm; but to profit from the hunt, one must know the collector value of the relics, antiques and items, and hence you should use reference from a good library.
Has anyone found anything valuable in e-bay and other auction sites?
Sites like e-bay can be a valuable reference guide as well as a hunting ground. But for investing in antiques/items from sites, one must have an excellent background knowledge on them.

Definitely an investment that only people with a lot of extra cash can think of. Else you have to be a really crazy treasure hunter yourself.

How long should an thing be to qualify as a treasure? My family has kept a big jar used by ancient people to store dead bodies. My grandfather found it in a cave.

that's really interesting! I guess it really is one with tons of risk but also tons of potential reward.

Investing in treasure hunting is just like investing in a most other things. The higher the risk the higher the return. Sure you could invest 200k and lose it all or you could strike gold and earn millions. It takes a lot of luck, but in the end it could be worth it. Basically, invest only if you can stand to lose the money.

It sounds so exciting and Indiana Jones-ish, but yeah...if you haven't got the extra bundles of cash lying around it wouldn't be a good idea at all. Even if I did have the money...I'd love to go along though...it's intriguing!

I find treasure hunting fascinating, but not from an investor's perspective. First off, it is only for those with money to burn, which rules me out. Secondly, it's a huge risk. I am not a gambler.
