Default Cash and Treasure

Hello Guys - Has anyone been catching the Travel Channel show called "Cash and Treasure"?
Its hosted by Kristen Gum. What a terrific show. There is so much to find by just diggin' in the ground! There's Agates, Diamonds, Turquoise, etc.....
She makes it look easy.
I think the hard part is living in the right part of the country to find the stuff.
Here's a link to the Cash and Treasure website:
Treasure Hunt Toolkits : Cash and Treasures : Travel Channel

Happy Hunting!
Jerry

YES! I think this is a really cool show - and Kristen is pretty easy on the eyes, too! I'm really interested in locating some turquoise...

Yes, I've been watching them. They're great shows. I preferred Becky, but I'm getting use to Kirsten. She's not to hard to watch, either.

Here's to Kirsten.

Thanks Pappy! I'll search for those posts. I finally have my transportation problem fixed and I'll be hitting the library for some old maps of the city I live in. Lots of history right here in the city but most historical areas are built over.
I'm sure in some of the surrounding communities there has to be some areas for stone hunting, etc..... Its hard to believe that they are pulling rocks out of the ground (on the show) and selling them at 20, 30 bucks a pop!!!

Happy Hunting everyone!
Jerry

Being a member of GPAA,I watch the gold shows and Cash&Treasure.Really enjoyed Becky as host,I don't know if she has delivered her twins yet or not.Kirston is a pretty girl too,she may have gotten herself enhanced a little from the first time I saw her,but she is doing a good job.If you saw the Morel mushroom episode,those prices were not inflated.Not far from me,in Richmond,MO,they have a morel festival every Spring and a small sandwich bag sells for $100,and they sell out.So when you are md'g next spring,keep your eyes open for mushroom treasure.
