In this posting we continue our series on insiders' trade secrets, both the major hush-hush techniques we hold close to our chest, as well as the seemingly “minor” practices that often hold everything else together.
When one looks for the source of disappointment, it is most often found in “the small print,” not the procedures writ large. The small incidental or supplementary applications of know-how are something Insiders do not bother to keep secret as with the Insider breakthroughs so judiciously guarded under “lock and key,” so to speak. It is curious, however, that even when these perceived “minor” techniques are shared with newbie hunters, they are likely to throw out these wee applications first thing. Unfortunately, it has been observed that seasoned treasure finders, too, are inclined to “economize” their “munitions” by looking for shortcut exceptions to procedures, which they justify as steps exempted to streamline the hunt process, assuming this makes their effort more efficient. I have observed this “skipping” done in many ways, by even the most seasoned Insiders when anticipation overrules the very modus operandi that define a professional.
Some of these observed “exceptions” were indeed “minor,” yet, everything else depended on them being observed. Just a brief example is but one on a long list of violations I have seen over the years, by people at all levels of experience when panning for gold, and/or working sluice concentrates by further panning: Returning from lunch, grabbing a tool from the toolbox, working on equipment, taking a nature break (men mostly) and, above all, extensive touching of one's face or body, then returning to pan without washing one's hands free of oil traces. Even the act of wiping one's brow, or scratching their nose will supply more than enough “oil” to float fine gold out of their pan. Too often people make exceptions knowing the rule, but not all the technicalities behind it that make the rule important.
In fact, few “oils” are of as high, or of such a concentrated quality, as found on one's face. In earlier times clock makers lubricated the most critical wear points in watch movements, exclusively, by merely touching the part to the side of their nose. The body oil found near the nose is particularly abundant, and of such extreme quality, just a touch will do, and continue to lubricate for years. Likewise, body oil allowed to contaminate a gold pan will soon invisibly film the entire pan and “float” gold, regardless of the gold racker's skill.
Of course seasoned gold panners “know better,” yet what one knows is of no value, until one knows better than expect exceptions to outcome taking short cuts, not doing what is best, just hoping for the best with the common retort: “Doesn't everybody now and then?” Well no! Or at least you trust your physician, dentist, and the person flying the airliner, or any of those earning a lifetime of exceptional income to not take omissions for convenience sake. An aversion to exclusion for expedience is the mark of diligent Insiders, those finding treasures others seldom hear about, or most outsiders would accept as possible; much less prove treasure is most everywhere, and available in such abundance.
The highest levels of success and income are reserved for the exceptional. The people at the pinnacle of rewards are “exceptional” by not ever choosing to take that first exception to established procedure, maintaining their standards of protocol, whether convenient, or at the end of the day a bit tedious. Nor is there any incentive from an assurance that just this once, this “little white transgression” will remain secret. Just one strike, taking that first exception, however, and never again comes the Universe's first offer, the most opportune opportunity at quite the same level of potential.
Nor can a rerun have the same provenance. What prompts one to assume there will always be an equal opportunity for a second try? Besides, a replay never includes a second chance for a first win. A first win is not only the best win, it pays multiples over that of a runner-up: Can you name the number 2 in any field of endeavor, even when the difference was just a single point, even a fraction of a second? In treasure recovery the difference is, however, that there is an entire universe of room for all to be exceptional and rewarded at the top of his or her game.
Our physical being is mainly water, and curiously, we even mimic its characteristic tendency to flow on a course as a uniform body, ours as an unbroken flow through our lifetime, and initially primed to choosing our course without making exceptions for shortcuts offering the least resistance. Like water, too, the path of least resistance always flows down without a second option to flow upward to the first level.
Somehow we all are born knowing, and parents strive to enlarge this reality of life to their young charges, that all trouble is seeded by that very first “small” exception; that first cigarette, the first time one drinks immoderately, and on into infinitude. Perhaps not able to define it in words, but, perhaps by “instinct,” parents want their children to understand that exceptions are better at defeating success, than having even a remote chance of bettering the odds in their favor. Yet the example of the wayward gold panners is but one of many cases in point of how even adult professionals get caught up in the moment and fail to follow through. How the smallest detail is amplified to the level of an egregious error, sometimes with an initial affect too minor to notice. Yet, with a consequence in long-term result so major, no amount of compensation can remedy the malfunction. Nor can we easily employ hindsight to ameliorate the disappointment of a singular opportunity never to pass this way again in quite the same way, nor will you.
Making exceptions to seemingly minor procedures, especially assuming size is an indication of significance, would be the reason given most often for the demise of success, were there autopsies given for opportunities passed-on. Just as culpable, and in collusion with the main cause of demise, would be the allure of what is major, thus perceived “most important,” an amateur's singular focus on the most obvious: consider that, as do Insider cache hunters. They know an abandoned site with the ruins of a dwelling will have been an obvious draw to weekend treasure seekers. Thus such noticeable draws are to be avoided until concluding a survey for less obvious indications of past activities. The less conspicuous locations are where any caches will still be waiting, and for ease and convenience, no structure to obstruct recovery. This, as well as actually being much easier to find, as the more minor signs are still better than a broad random search for a cache, rather than a survey for a small, but sure, clue. Small, but an indicator all yours, perhaps nothing more than a depression from an earlier privy, then checking behind where the outhouse blocked the view and marked one universally-common location of an early-day “dirt bank.” In this example, if the old outhouse pit has been dug for bottles and such, expect the area behind the pit to still hold whatever was there to begin with, perhaps, the exception of debris shoveled on it by those who dug the pit.
Central to the evolvement into a professional is putting to rest the common mistake of not “sweating the small stuff.” All dimensions of approach are equally important, and though most would nod their head in agreement, follow-through is uncommon. Too often it is a seemingly negligible point that costs the most. We all know the related clichés: “A kingdom lost for want of a nail.” Or, the philosophy that reminds us it is less a mountain that overwhelms us, than the pebble in one's shoe. We call such sayings “truisms” because they are true, yet, once heard a few times, they are universally designated as clichés; little respected, seen as a bit too stale, too familiar to hold our attention; as in the cliché: “Familiarity breeds contempt.”
Unfortunately, you should also know that facts keyed to “sayings,” the truisms they hold, are being lost. These vehicles of experience distilled into keys that unlock our mental attics are being cast into oblivion. This, regardless of how valuable or how potent the fact they teach within that ancient form, and even when proven as a trigger to bring facts to memory. This abandonment is rather unique in the history of North American culture. It is due to a societal phase seeking a yet undetermined standard of political correctness, a form of social censuring. Those adhering to this philosophy reject any remote reference, no matter how remote, to holding an individual accountable, or a cliché that holds to a moral standard or defines standards for judgment. Also used as a measure of correctness is rejecting whatever truism that even suggests any rule that is objective, thus not “correct,” as it does not leave the individual free to subjectively decide for themselves as to whether something is “right or wrong,” “moral or immoral,” “good or bad.”
This expurgation may seem trivial, yet vital lessons are lost, effectively transformed for expedience. Thus errors in selective memory are trending towards less a personal foible than social. This may be part of the increase in brainless urban legends spread as facts throughout the land, while the proven and “just what the doctor ordered” class of sensible truths are lost to this and future generations. Adjust to modernity, but hold onto your values and unchanging principles.
Thus it is becoming easier to find us dismissive to truisms, especially in cliché form. This is just as found, almost universally, among amateurs with more money than time to invest learning “details.” They tend to seize on just the main theme, and everything else is dismissed as just a bunch of “etceteras.” Just as predictable is the amateurish dismissal of basic rules or standards as oldwives tales, bromides, local idioms, hackneyed platitudes, and etcetera. Yet in spite of a youthful assumption of natural-born prowess in all things new, something else is blamed as the cause of their shortcomings or malfunctions, a powerful force beyond the range of any human that seems to mysteriously intervene. Some the youthful justifications for disappointment from first-time, “natural-born” bounty hunters are so unique, I could write reports for major scientific journals. Seriously, how unique in the history of The Universe is a “first” as astounding as the only known instance of The Universe abandoning the laws defined by physics and making an exception? So, why, they wonder, would forces conspire to foil the expertise of ones so gifted, while the “geezer” with a beat-up detector found so much? Know-how, like truth, is available in excess of demand.
People in general are not expected to be aware that truisms are part and parcel of our ability to have a successful life. Why are they thus? They are unique conveyers of information at ALL social levels, as they use long-tested techniques combining imagery, or storylines to convey a message. They may be clichéd but often come with a potent warning, in a way that assures one gets the point, but, most of all, in a manner that easily recalls the message.
We use a specific saying as a small step in a process, for the rest of our lives to tack other “must remember keys” onto it. And that, my fellow Insider is one of the ways our memory works, as each memory is not a stand alone, but a series of additions to some striking or startling imagery, even a potent caution. Ever wonder why some ideas “stick” and others just “slip away?” Here is one reason:
By the time we reach our expiration date, it is normal to have thousands of “knowledge clips” tacked to, perhaps, a childhood truism, maybe a fable with a message, or even, a clichéd saying with a basic fact of life acquired in childhood, the original of which may be lost under the more recent add-on clips to that “file.” One may ignore a small detail and never know they also lost access to a long list of “knowing tools” that would have also “come up” along with the single trivial item not convenient at that moment. Ever skip a step in a recipe and find it led to neglecting the following step? The keys we need to find at the moment for success are often “filed” within the realm of seemingly unrelated “minor” details. That apparently dissimilar “trivial” detail itself, has endured to collect “orphaned files” as its longevity, its value to you, is in direct proportion to its adaptability; its ability to be connected to later additions, to be stretched into variant versions. Everything is like something else, if you stretch a point.
As a truism is easily expressed with few words, in sentences diminutive, their placement priority is easy to dismiss, overlook, or play to selective amnesia as occasionally happens with one's keys. Even my fire belching muscle car, (actually a 1988 Plymouth with four cylinders the size of pop cans); will not perform sans a tiny key. Though I have been its “master” since it was brand-new, even treated it well, kept it dry and cozy in the garage, and seldom driven it, it cares little about the importance of my weekly drive to the post office, just whether I hold the key. On my way, the police let me alone because they can see something quite minor: a very small sticker on one corner of my license plate indicating my registration is current. Of course because of my humble nature and remarkably handsome features, the girls do not leave me alone, especially when they note I lack a small band of gold on my finger.
As this forum is for seasoned treasure Insiders, there will be no space used for “minor” points or clichés relating to finding treasure you would already know. At the same time, just as vital to the hoard of trade techniques to be given in this ongoing series, is this edition's crucial theme, which, at first, may be mistaken as somewhat “over the top.” Mine is a “all-out, no hold barred” effort to emphasize the powerful knowing that the seemingly “trivial” is always and ever, part of, if not “the very key” to success, and too often the very key to explaining too many disappointments.
In a broader sense, experienced hunters soon learn what is important, and the importance of simple, but necessary procedures to avoid any chance of, for example, leaving a major tool at home, or to avoid the perils of hectic last minute preparations seeding potential disasters, such as forgetting the spare tire is flat. It seems universal, however, that regardless of how well managed, there is going to be an occasional “minor” surprise, there seems to be no 100%. Thus there remains an outside chance of a spoiler to an otherwise successful endeavor, though such spoilers do provide an opportunity to learn, and thus eliminate future reruns at our expense.
One may never be prepared for all possibilities; yet, we continue to pool our experiences. Sharing our disasters, as well as successes, we have collectively identified and eliminated most spoilers.
NOW a down-to-earth solution for one of the most common “spoilers.” This little-known remedy incorporates a new element with astonishing benefits. As an older version has been around for decades, this truly remarkable new formulation is being ignored, and is deceptively easy to dismiss as “trivial,” until “the burning need” arises.
This particular spoiler must rank near the top of the list: Of all the possible things going wrong, or just ruining our hunt, far too many treasure expeditions have been ruined by nothing more than “heartburn,” or “acid reflux.” In addition to most forms of searching, this affliction is of particular concern to detector enthusiasts, due to constant bending over. One can carry an antacid, though under these circumstances the distress likely flames again as acid rebound predictably ricochets in retaliation for an unnatural ph drop, likely with greater intensity.
As to the newer prescription and over the counter proton pump inhibitor stomach acid reducers: Late in 2006, a 15-year study of 148,942 people over 50 was completed indicating long-term use may lead to bone fractures, especially in those over 50, above all a 44% increase in the likelihood of hip fractures. Apparently these drugs interfere with bone's absorption of calcium to maintain structural strength. If one's physician prescribes one of these, one has a condition requiring this medication; yet it would seem appropriate to consider ways to moderate the symptoms in more natural ways and, perhaps, require less. Likewise to employ a more natural remedy to exempt the frequency of need for the common antacid palliative, as that temporary stopgap may actually exacerbate the condition when it rebounds.
There is a solution to those in our craft who suffer, or those in any activity requiring the forward bending that tends to constrict the stomach. This action forces a mix of digestive acid out of the stomach, and thus, beyond the subsequent distress, can actually cause damage, which if suspected should be discussed with your physician.
Especially encouraging, in addition to helping your body deal with heartburn in a more natural way, the same resolution to this problem does other good things at the same time, which can only be thought of as remarkable, unexpected, a gift to one's quality of life! In fact, the cliché, “Down two birds with one stone,” would not apply, as the remedial action to be given here will address multiple needs.
Obviously, as treasure hunting can take us far afield, going home early makes the long trip home especially discouraging. This small technique can save the day and, as just stated, the surprise is that it will also be of significant benefit to you in uncommon ways: A little background: King's College London is credited with research on this distressing condition, finding that chewing gum after a meal fights acid reflux, of course to some degree always has, and was somewhat common knowledge; nothing new there. In the past, one weighed the tradeoff between their dental health and a “sour stomach.” Then, artificial sweeteners rather altered the fear of cavities, their benefit said to be an aid in somewhat cleaning the chewing surfaces of teeth, this, minus the sugar feeding the “bugs” accountable for cavities. As much as anything, the early sweetening products were especially good at altering the flavor and texture to that of “artificial gum.” All this and the limited benefits are now history.
Now we know absolutely, contrary to general consensus, chewing gum sweetened with the natural sweetener, “xylitol” is both pleasing and beneficial to your dental health in multiple and most extraordinary, ways,
as well as being significantly beneficial to your health in general.
Still relatively unknown, xylitol is harvested from birch wood (as was aspirin's source from Willow, originally), and other sources in nature. It is also found naturally in fruits such as raspberries. Its first outstanding quality is a luscious sweetness that does not feed the mutans streptococci, which results in the destructive release of lactic acid, literally dissolving minerals in teeth.
Even more advantageous, in addition to not feeding bacteria, xylitol actually actively interferes with the microbe's ability to function, though how it does so is not yet fully understood.
As if that defense against germs is not benefit enough, researchers have most recently discovered this natural sweetener also prevents bacteria from sticking to teeth.
Mothers can cut tooth decay in their younger children prior to first teeth erupting by the mother herself, NOT the child, chewing xylitol gum while their children's first teeth are erupting. This connection is thought to be the close association between infant and mother; breast-feeding is not the seemingly obvious connection.
Studies found school children, who occasionally chewing xylitol-sweetened gum, had up to a 60% reduction in cavities. Up that to 7 to 10 grams a day of xylitol for five weeks and the drop in cavity-causing bacteria was reduced tenfold! In the evolution of dentistry benefits, this would rank as astounding!
Added to the side benefits cited thus far, are solutions to long-time vexing problems, such as effective safe relief for adults taking medications that lead to “dry mouth,” without concern for the cost of drugs to combat it, or drug interactions that may exist from using such remedies. There is aid to seniors too frail to easily visit a dentist. They benefit from chewing, or letting xylitol-sweetened gum dissolve as if a mint. No doubt, mints will be added in time.
Unexpected were benefits for heart attack risks so often linked to bacteria in the mouth. The microorganisms are prone to become systemic while brushing teeth. Xylitol makes plaque buildup easier to remove, a gentle action is then required using the softest brush, and best for stimulating the gums, thus also directly combating bleeding gums.
Dentures may also pose possible systemic risks from sore spots, or from cuts when one bites down with a small foreign item lodged beneath a plate. Of course xylitol's inhibiting the source of halitosis microorganisms is of particular value to denture wearers, even if the gum is not actively chewed.
In addition to the recent finding of the decrease of heart-attack risks, another profound benefit of xylitol use, and one that is important to one and all, is that research has shown bacteria from the mouth, carried into the bloodstream, and ultimately the aorta, accelerate atherosclerosis. We assume “gum ailments” as “in our mouth,” not linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and pregnancy problems. Harvard researchers recently found a surprising link between the state of your gums and one of the deadliest diseases: pancreatic cancer. Now the focus is on why? Presently it appears oral bacteria triggers a chemical process in the body resulting in high levels of nitrosamines, cancer-causing compounds also found in tobacco smoke. In this study of 51,000 males, those with any incidence of gum disease had a 64% higher risk for pancreatic caner. *Ongoing studies (* initial or preliminary) show correcting gum problems improved functioning of the artery's lining (endothelium) producing chemicals related to blood flow.
All these “side benefits” from a pleasant reflux remedy, not yet knowing of other uses for this extraordinary gift of nature, or its benefits beyond more pleasure from our hunts, and healthier, longer lives to pursue treasure.
We are bombarded with all manner of supposed benefits from over-the-counter products offering little more than ad copy to substantiate efficacy; it was prestigious independent researchers who substantiated xylitol's effectiveness. Manufactures were as surprised as those studying its uses, as intent was to determine a 100% safety factor required for products in this heavily regulated category.
Beyond the dramatic health advantages, other benefits are for more domestic challenges. I especially appreciate the relief given when driving over varying elevations on the way to a hunt site. Hearing and earache problems from changes in elevation take care of themselves when chewing gum. If you use headphones with your detector, you do best when inner ear pressure is equalized and hearing is optimized. Often one cannot notice or sense small imbalances in pressure, especially while wearing headphones, but the drop-off in hearing can be dramatic. Protect your ears in flight by chewing gum during liftoff and landing. Others up close appreciate your fresh breath, while keeping your Eustachian tubes open naturally, allowing pressure within your inner ear to equalize gradually, rather that “popping” from extreme variations that tend to build up, precluding complications associated with this often painful condition.
Driving at night? Without the dental consequences of sugar, chewing xylitol gum will make you more alert, minus sugar's “energy crash.” Folks working occasional “all-nighters” appreciate being less tired in the final hours.
Best are gum sweetened exclusively with xylitol, such as early entries Epic and Spry, and new market entries: Hershey's Koolerz. Lotte, Trident, and some Carefree, have high xylitol content, and Trident is “Denture friendly.” (I have no interest, or remuneration from producers of these products. My only interest is in the treasure Insiders I serve.)
We have only one universal enemy at all levels of society, and it is ignorance. Primarily “ignorance,” and its handmaid “arrogance” by and large the most costly of all human afflictions, and often part and parcel of what drives the rest. (Arrogance in this context is taking pride in, and being defensive of, one's lack of awareness.) What you do not know can hurt you, or prevent you from doing what is known to keep you from being harmed. Pity those before us who did not know, or yet have option of chewing this gum, which could have made such a major difference in their quality of life in so many ways. In the same vein, consider the many generations who suffered fatal heart attacks when chances of survival would have multiplied had they known, as we do today, to take an aspirin as soon as possible. (Do keep fresh aspirin in your kit when on a hunt.) Nor did past generations know, that for most folks, a daily low-dose of aspirin would be of aid in preventing heart attacks and some strokes. (Consult a physician prior to aspirin regimen, aspirin is serious “medicine,” just consider one example: A 650 mg dose of aspirin equals the analgesic efficacy of 32mg of codeine!) Yet, one needs to know just enough to know enough to consider asking a health professional.
Aspirin has been commonplace for generations, before the uses discovered recently, its significance discounted by the public, or as an attractive choice for further research: “Why should the medical community instigate costly studies to see if this old-time drug could do anything else?” For most of its history, the public, too, discounted this “miracle drug” as just a “minor” analgesic remedy; yet, during this period no doubt many tens of thousands went to an early grave, along with just as many doomed to survive with unnecessary heart damage for lack of knowing the extraordinary efficacy of ordinary aspirin to help limit destruction of heart muscle if taken when an attack is suspected. A kingdom lost for want of a nail, just as lives lost for want of knowing what was thought “trivial,” wasn't.
In life, as in finding treasure, all matters count. Not a twit different than the trivial “all but worthless pennies” to total dollars, even though America only has “cents”, and lacks “pennies,” just a mistaken label borrowed from England.
Like the increasingly disregarded one-cent coin, bits of wisdom, too, are commonplace and everywhere. It takes uncommon wisdom to know if we begin our focus with a view to shepard all things minor; we are among the exceptional destined for an exceptional level of success of which no force known to man can dissuade, nor the Universe take exception; no different than the exceptional few throughout history who understood this premise; this applies even to evil men, not just the benevolent. Choice is ours to manage, the Universe is neutral, whereas man has dominion to the degree he uses the same rules as The Universe he inhabits, and for whatever end he chooses. Chose well, chose success, then be, be exceptional in each moment, no matter how brief in passing, or, clothed as most “trivial.” Then, as sure as follows night to day, we find ourselves among those who awake to a grand total of an uncommon nature; “uncommon” as it has the pecululiar characteristic of somehow always attracting uncommon aid! Doubt this as you may, “unforeseen forces will come to your aid, without fail or fumble, just as it will, even to those evil. Let us trust there are always more of us than them! No one knows why this odd assistance operates so universally, nor have our greatest “minds” been able to give even a somewhat lucid explanation, we just know, and if you don't, you will, hopefully, have this affect earn your trust. Trust is earned, not given. Uncommon aid is earned, not given, just as your paycheck is not a gift.
Actually that is more “sound” than it appears at first. Contrary to most attitudes, whatever success, wherever you are at this moment, you did not get there on your own. It took two to bring you into this world, plus unseen, mostly undefined processes came to aid the development. Your odds of being born were less than winning a multi-state lottery. A total of at least three separate entities conspired to get you started here, and from then to now, each phase took greater numbers working together, always with Universal functions somewhere in the mix. Ever make your own fishhooks? Men, machines, technology, and lots of wires bring you electricity, and all this from an appreciation of unseen “forces” whose universal laws were sought for application, thus the “power” itself is, ultimately, “understanding.” At the same level the entities like yourself delivering your electricity, even those with a Ph D, do not know as much about this force, as they merely accept its validity. Nothing happens without a leap of faith; let go and let it be as nothing transforms until something from outside us assists. This is not religious, spooky, or kooky, just The Universe in which you exist, as it exists right now. As humans, by assuming we know all, keeps us secure. However, our personal Universe is not “The Universe.” In my own tiny corner I marvel at what psychology knows about us, what astounding aptitudes we have; yet would not believe, accept, or consider using if told. No different than those born at sites far removed from all that is common in our modern world. Merely striking a match will frighten. Such reactions are common to all, just in different ways, while trust beyond self is uncommon.
Uncommon? The majority is not successful finding treasure. Doing the opposite of them is often a choice of singular wisdom, so much so this profundity is seen as a hoary cliché. Still there are other benefits to consider, such as the joy of discovering what works for you, rather than wandering the same trail as the herd, following behind another, not the best view in the brief moments when you “look up and ahead” during intervals when you dare divert from seeing where it is safe to step, also avoiding inhaling gaseous opinions; opinions, like gas, fill the missing knowledge vacuum.
(1) One does the direct opposite of the majority by not focusing on finding exceptions; the weak spot in the fence, and by “sweating the small stuff.” Then, regardless of whether you are presently inclined to believe, hurdles take care of themselves, or come in forms easy to manage, as they are unique to you, they are yours.
(2) Founded in the experiences of many generations of frontrunners is a profound conclusion, also remarkable, because of its uniform similarity of conclusion, and that from people in vastly diverse pursuits, even of a separate time! In simple terms it is: Without a doubt, The Universe conspires to do you good. Almost to the person these profoundly successful people would have been skeptical, or totally dismissive if told this prior to the experience itself. I know of none, however, able to explain or elaborate beyond the outcome more than, “It is what it is.”
(3) Less difficult to take seriously, at face value, is the rock-solid knowledge that the one thing The Universe you abide in does not grant is “exceptions,” even the seemingly trivial, at any level. This is always and ever true, whether you know, or accept this basic imperative that defines our Universe. Jump off a high point anywhere on earth, and The Universe's rule of gravity will apply, no exceptions.
What is troubling is somehow we are prone to discount and seek exceptions to what seems too small to count, to focus like rogue cattle on breaks in the fence. Though we know The Universe intends to do you good, we also know that intent is dependant on the recipient, this, as only the beneficiary has the power of choice, The Universe is not so endowed. The Universe your world inhabits is neutral and governed by law, not choice. Though erudite men know, absolutely, The Universe only conspires to do you good, at the same level, every rule of law that runs The Universe with such grace and power cannot overshadow the most trivial exception. We “break” man's laws; we “violate” universal laws of which acquisition of any “success” is part and parcel. People violate mostly with “minor” exceptions to infringe their heritage of abundance. This paucity of potential is rarely from things major, but the grand total of defaults to exceptions infinitesimal. The dilemma being: the rules, the laws, the wisdom seem too trivial, or common, as the “sayings” reminding us of wisdom and experience may date back to an illiterate population and seem childishly simplistic to your modern paradigm; yet we still have need of their wisdom of things not meant to be seen, but known.
(4) Memory serves opposing masters emotion, and intelligent thought. In emotion memory faces backwards to past events for “feelings,” of how to feel, to react. In intelligent thought to respond making decisions, adjudging choices, predicting the future based on memories of rational factors, (like using the factor value in numbers to do math), to factor word meanings by context, such as “shift” in driving, versus a “shift” when changing a position.
(5) Memory serves in knowing outcome in advance, predicting the future, thus, not sticking something in an electric socket, or, as I once did, tell my first wife a dress made her look too fat. The connection to make in this is the role of Clichés serving as aids to memory: Clichés help us remember, as well as instruct, the small things we may not recall without such reminders of the “small stuff.” Add the search for, and making notes of clichés, to your list. And may I suggest you become your own “Universal Attorney?” Do so by moving opposite of most of the herd, and always start with, always read the small print first. Be on the right side of one exception by taking exception to the common ways; be exceptional in matters small, as this is how we become great. Everything matters; we have generations of proof to that premise. You can count on The Universe to do its part; it counts on you to do your part managing matters small, that's all. On that basis the outcomes of major events align toward a universal result in your favor, no exceptions.
(6) Nothing mysterious, no question of outcome: Throw a ball; it comes down. Do what you know, do all you know, and then, what you don't know, you soon will. Keep adding to that total as no number is so large it cannot have another added to it. Then combine, take that new total and just repeat using it all, because it all matters, even the rests between the notes. It is common to sing with our focus on the melody line, less on the silence of the rests, the backup of the cords, and even the tempo. Just bear in mind that it is not harmony; it is not harmonious, if all you hear is a single note, even if that note holds the melody, and captures the attention of the audience.
(7) Unique is the value of whatever is so minor it fails to attract attention. The uninitiated look for what they are looking for, the bigger the better, whereas the “key” to treasure and most things is minuscule compared to what it opens. For example, Insiders do not focus on abandoned dwellings; rather, on the more “trivial” signs indicating early sites, such as timing a visit to when daffodils bloom, rather than just the once common lilac bush by the privy. Only daffodils will survive in near perpetuity, marking the site of an early home. These early bloomers were commonly planted beside the house where they could be seen, and/or help shield other plants, as daffodils are toxic and avoided by livestock, horses and “wild critters.” While most anything can be food during lean times, not this early bloomer, which may inhabit a site for centuries, never to be disturbed by any of the wild indigenous creatures that fill the vacuum after abandonment by man. Most treasure hunters know the hardy lilac bush tactic; the daffodils and the importance of timing their blooming is, however, a technique we Insiders keep just to those within our Association.
Folks looking for the lilac bush are often looking for old bottles and the related “goodies” found at a privy site, as the increased value of old bottles makes the rise in gold look anemic. What average bottle seekers don't know is what marks a choice dump site, indicating that the pioneer was “moneyed,” and it is most often the only marker: One knowing to look for oyster shells also knows they are evidence of “goodies” below. Just the “well off” served oysters, the “better” spirits and products. These came in bottles with the embossed labels commanding today's premium prices, and are in intense demand, compared to the common, less costly products in containers with labels.
The “hired help” regularly covered dumpsites of prosperous pioneers to avoid flies and vermin. This helped preserve bottles from breakage, and make the dumps harder to locate, since only the shells remain visible, either dug by some creature, or, it is speculated, work their way up a fraction each winter when the water table rises, even more if the ground freezes. That sounds improbable to me, but who knows for sure? We do know, however, these “better sites” offer premium early-day throwaways often only found where oyster shells mark the site. Most locate dig sites by broken glass or shards of pottery, whereas some Insiders seek sites marked exclusively by shells. Why? They insist it is worth the effort, or, “Knowing where to invest my time.” Also, such “shell sites” are mostly untouched, ignored by others.
(8) Adding to your awareness from details others would dismiss offhand, sometimes we will be prompted to ask ourselves, “Is this trivia or a `need to know' I can use?” It would seem best to test over time, not on face value. It may just be of value, since over the years people universally ignore the less than obvious, especially treasure clues. Odd as it seems to me, Insiders continually verify the abundance of better treasures with the less known markers, and most choice sites still wait, little diminished from the level available when detectors made hunting more common.
The path to take is to keep looking for minor bits of information to add to your totals. It may someday apply. Nothing is too minor to label “too minor to matter.” For example, last edition we discussed the remarkable recently developed key to training dogs to find treasure and even deeply submerged precious minerals. As it turns out, the very key to this technique was downright trivial, and unlike the complex procedures once thought necessary. Now we keep adding to that understanding, and it is revealing how “little things” tell a lot, especially when totaled!
We can see colors in daylight much better than our dog, they can see mainly blues and yellows in the day and can even assist us, for example, in locating even a single daffodil as we hunt for these markers. They do not see well up close, but distinguish between 40,000 odors, thus combining scent with their visual search for that particular flower.
Curiously, the dog studies led to dismissing the myth that people cannot track a scent because our nostrils are too close together. It turns out our brains can compare information from each nostril for clues to direction, the bad part is for some scents we need to get down and smell at as close to ground level as possible. Of course our efficacy is inferior to canines, thus our tracking direction by smell is a trivial point. Yet, one never knows what is possible in unique circumstances, until one knows in retrospect. We can, however, detect aromas present in quantities of a few parts per trillion, as small numerically as 0.0000000003 percent. There is also an Insiders' trade secret to this odd skill: To use taste in combination with smell, not putting something in your mouth, but drawing air in your mouth, then tasting. You may not consciously detect anything, as this aid is not particularly obvious at the conscious level.
Yet, once again it seems the belief we cannot precludes the very idea of evolving what we can do, such as with our acuity of smell. Note the above ratio of parts per trillion we can smell is represented by such an infinitesimal factor that gets more potent as it gets smaller. No one really knows what we can do if we knew to use what we have. Too often we don't teach even the most minor of details to spark our curiosity.
Of course our 5 million smell receptors pale against the average dog's 220 million scent receptors; our smell receptors fill an area the size of a postage stamp, the dog's, a space the size of an average handkerchief. Ours are “wired” to a profoundly intelligent brain, however, and we can often identify and classify many odors by name.
Here is a fact “odd enough” to pose a good example of a minor detail easily dismissed offhand as “classic trivia:” The ancient Greeks deduced that, as humans, we are born “pre-wired” to naturally process using basic geometry without any training whatsoever. This common knowledge to psychologists is absent from public awareness. Hearing this in a lecture, it seemed more trivia than a tool for mastering the peculiarities of human behavior, yet compelling as geometry is applied math first used to measure and chart length, area and shape, usually of land surfaces. I simply filed this along with my list of “things” people can do naturally, if they knew enough to accept it. I know this human doubt factor is not easy to address, yet I feel compelled to try. Culture trains us to believe what we assume we cannot, and doubt or feel insecure about that of which we are capable. Even the most polished, accomplished and experienced artists may seek a psychologist to deal with “the shakes” when time to perform what they do better than most anyone!
Extensive studies have also proven, unequivocally, that dogs, too, are “hardwired” to processing geometric equations; often better than us at adapting as they just accept the “talent” and “do.” The canine studies address whether we are born with this ability functioning, or if events conspire to cause us to develop it. Both the dogs, and studies in human cultures far removed, and never exposed to modernity, indicate we come with the aptitude up and running.
Throwing a ball into the water provides a basic example: The dog could plunge right in and swim the distance to the ball, yet a mature dog will apply a calculus model and run along the beach until directly opposite the ball, thus determining what point is the shortest distance from the objective before entering the water; something even a human adult may not consider. Catching scent of a yet unseen daffodil in a field, the experienced treasure finding dog will also calculate the most direct route, just as detecting the distant scent of currency. (Dogs find cash gives off an “overpowering” distinctive odor.) Don't compare this with randomly running around seeking a scent, or just exploring.
Silver Lake is a place to take the entire family fishing, and a short drive from my office. I have a trout pond, so I haven't been there in years. Because of a family residing at the lake, however, I have banned dogs from fishing at my pond! The Chad Wood family is one of the more fortunate residents with a home and dock on the lake. Their “family” includes a Jack Russell terrier named Tipper, which, incidentally, likes to fish using a rod and reel. No fish story here, just another example of the options one has if one learns what is possible. Chad baits and casts, puts the pole in a “Fish-On” pole holder and attaches a bell, then leaves the rest to Tipper. Aside from pacing back and forth waiting for a bite, she mimics any other fisherman, with the exception of somehow “sensing” when a fish is near the bait well before the line tenses and the bell rings. This curious “knowing in advance” is an advantage to setting the hook at the ideal moment, then her dragging the pole away from the side of the dock to “reel” the catch ashore. If Chad played out too much line when he cast, she has been known to dive in and retrieve the catch!
My dog “Vapid,” an enormous Great Dane, assumes he's a cat. “Woe be unto one” not honoring his feline brothers and sisters. All manner of wild critters prowl surrounding woods, an occasional cougar chasing coyotes, distant “screams” in the night; yet my sweet “porch kitties” have a good protector. I wonder? Isn't it written we “entertain angels unaware?” Don't the wizened maintain earth angels can have softest of firs that some even purr; some even with feathers come, yet others with none? Even some tagged with telltale tail; and all thus to be lesser, yet much better to love us. It appears not much goes on between Vapid's ears; yet I wonder? Per cliché: “Appearances may be deceiving.”
I find canine talent awe-inspiring; who is the actual master? Of course humans are dominant, but just like men, a dog lowering its “voice” is a sign of feeling dominant or posturing to dominate. So, who's most like the other? Oh well! “Small details” are useful; though less constructive used for self-comparison to other entities, whether people or our pets, rather than seek wisdom; for when you are ready, at every step up, your teacher will appear -- test it!
(9) Accumulated data is best invested to hook more, to build confidence in inherent skills: More data = less searching for treasure = yet, finding more. The more you know, the better to know what questions to ask, what you need to find out; it never ends, nor do the of unthought-of opportunities. The real power of know-how is in what questions to ask. Answers are everywhere, and common; uncommon is a knowledge base from which to frame potent questions.
(10) Treasure is everywhere, in many forms. Regardless of choice, Insiders find the best way is to give equal attention to the collection of bits of knowledge, best is whatever others couldn't be bothered with. Then see what's best for them, but not forgetting the rest of the bits; maybe their time hasn't come to shine. In the end there is only one best way, at that moment the only right way. There is only one way to see “that way,” and it is to see it as part of the whole.
(11) As research repeatedly proves, it is irrational to use the usual baseless assumptions to underestimate human attributes given at birth, to fail to appreciate because you yet have no knowledge of its value. To deem inconsequential without first learning the consequence of allowing a gift to atrophy when its time has come to serve, or be dismissive of what was installed at birth as if useless appendages-mistakes of nature. To allow lack of knowledge to sack the facts of our species' neglected aptitudes, perceived as of miniscule value, even if the value is zero.
Ever try to balance your checkbook, or make a zero with Roman numerals? The recognition of zero is a major part of what defines your world, and what you can do in it. A zero is fully half of the equation it takes to program computers. The use of zero is the very factor that allows us to do the modern engineering feats we all take for granted, but are impractical to engineer without using a zero. Roman numerals just cannot take us there.
Directly and unequivocally true, not subject to debate: It was the ability to use the power of a zero that allowed us to put a man on the moon, split the atom, and allows the designing and manufacturing of every single modern convenience you own, your children will own, and their children, and which they, also, will take for granted. Clever as Roman engineers and the wonders created were, in spite of lacking the use of a zero, thus were limited to what was possible for them, would still be if in use today. The Romans could not do what we do lacking this most trivial factor, a factor without a value of its own, not even a value equal to that of factor “one.” Got any un-totaled factors you assume commonplace, trivial, near zero value, just ordinary etceteras? In treasure hunting, as in the Universe we inhabit, everything matters, counts, has a role to serve, and when totaled has value; therefore, there are no mere etceteras.

*“Oh Waiter!” I smiled, “Please hold that main entrée; first serve the side dishes, the incidentals, if you will. Let's see what should follow, what's best next. Let's not just get to the ending; I've been there before, what a bore. Let me find what's best for me, and in what order, so I can know where I will want to be at the finish, and joyful I'm there.”
What I do, or don't do, I do to not merely come to an end, but to a finish with flourish. Not just another dead-end, not of my choosing, but to make, thus own my conclusions to invest for better tomorrows. By choice the exceptional are thus, not making exceptions to incidentals, no matter how small, convenient or not. Though some choose exceptions to things minor, I think I'll start tending to the minor, someday to total together a sum major. Perhaps the easy way is not the easiest, nor the best; so me thinks I'll start small, make use of what others refuse, will use, even bother to acknowledge. After all, in math everything counts, perhaps so in life. Okay then: I'll be ever so kind regardless of size, and not for small size discount, nor pass by. The Path is less traveled; a downhill shortcut offers easier ways. Unlike The Path, shortcuts offer options “right now,” you simply coast down. Still, I know the shortcut ends where it ends. Yet, me thinks, though the winding path lacks the cutoff's instantaneous ease, The Path allows me to see, both, where I've been, know for sure where it takes me, just takes me longer; but without the loss shortcut perks cost; yet, beyond that day never pay. So I'll take the way I can know where I'll be at the finish, and joyful I'm there. *© 2007 Ernest Earl Dennis

Secret Things, Secret Places,
So now I lay me down to dream, to dream of treasure.
To have and to hold, secret things from secret places.
Professional treasure hunters say two things are the very “lifeblood” for success and survival; don't leave home without either: Water for life, and the latest know-how to find treasure. Likewise, the quality of each depends upon getting both upstream from where the herd gets theirs, thus the need for our association, and the trade secrets we share, so... consider this recent endorsement as it is what we are about, and it made our day:
“…like we wasted 32-years planting cut flowers! Tom and I read every treasure book and mag ever printed, and active in two area clubs, but we learned more, in just the first week, reading the site's Insider archives. Tom blames me for not subscribing to the Insiders' Association in the 1980's so we'd be getting their insider's newsletter; I blame him and you guys for not enough promoting!
But after finding so much this season, especially the enclosed snapshot of this jug of gold pieces, I forgive you all, `cept for Tom, that boy's still in the doghouse with me! Anyway's, thanks to that feller (for) coming up with lookin' there, as wouldn't even crossed my mind, and since my Old Man don't have much of one (mind) to begin with,” wouldn't have had enough to cover our outlays with prices being what they are nowadays. Enjoy these homemade sweets. I'm sending most of Tom's to you; I used real maple syrup and according to Aunt Rende's recipe." Sincerely
Tom and Virginia R.

E. Earl Webb, Editor
Welcome: In addition to our current book supplement E. Earl Webb's "Secret Things, Secret Places," our achieves are incredibly rich with well over twenty years of regularly updated Insider trade secrets, the newest how-to techniques still unknown at the public level.
We are a professional treasure finders' mutual cooperative, organized in 1983, we are not folks in some level of publishing! Our resources are directed at our worldwide network of seasoned treasure finders to share our craft secrets within a closed circle, before these newest techniques and knowledge are known to the public.
So, ever wonder why it is known that less than 5% of all treasure seekers recover 90% of the outstanding finds? Take this opportunity to read a generous sampling of our Association's trade secrets, tips, new techniques, field-tested know-how and recent finding associates share, and see why only know-how can improve finding treasures others have little or no insider advantages needed to locate.
The "average" metal detector enthusiast and treasure seeker lacks only know-how. It is not knowing more than the "average" treasure hunter that keeps one "average." Whether you believe it or not, treasure really is most everywhere. Even most curious, to us at least, there is always going to be more bounty than people to recycle it back into the economy. No! It is not treasure itself that is lacking, but know-how, and trade secrets. It is suspected people watch, either, too much television, or movies to know what is fact when it in any way mimics entertainment themes.
Just the facts: The collective knowledge of our craft we share among ourselves is the ultimate prize, what is protected with as much security as cash. This, as trade secrets are something that cannot be substituted, nor will the best equipment money can buy substitute and save the day. Equipment and tools only allow people to "play at treasure hunting," however, for finding treasure, only know-how makes it so.
By sharing our best secrets to only those inside our circle, Insiders have proven the compounding power of many is the key to assuring each associate of getting back more trade secrets than even the most seasoned expert could possibly contribute individually. You can see this same model of pooling resources in every human endeavor requiring know-how accumulated from many minds.
As everyone eventually learns, and every professional treasure finder proves, there is no wisdom in trying to reinvent solutions when proven applications are available. Our particular advantage is sharing expertise among associates well before it is leaked and degraded to public knowledge. This is why our Association is organized in a non-public forum, yet eager to add others to continue expanding our knowledge base with new people. Since 1983 we have prospered mightily from word of mouth, and more recently, from introducing our trade circle using this, the public side of our site.
Not a baseless statement, but a well-proven fact: Treasure can be found most everywhere, when you know how. What is really rare, and absolutely beyond price, is know-how, and this depends on knowing where to get it, and avoid the nonsense of spending resources for mere entertainment, which is published commercially for the largest possible audience.
Have a peek below at the descriptions of just a few of the reports, and read our generous portion of excerpts, and complete chapters from our wildly popular book supplement to be confident of what awaits you upon securing your subscription to the Members Area, for less than a typical tank of gas, which is easily wasted hunting when one should be finding based upon proven patterns. Then be sure to navigate to the current Comprehensive TreasureSecrets.com Site map. It lists the various categories within the archives of the ever-growing Members Area. As our treasury extends from even before 1983 when we formally organized, the depth and size is such we are updating and adding on a full-time basis. Yet, the is much more to come. Some reports, such as "Jump Start," and "107 things" are book size, while a few reports only from 6 to 12 pages in print, but all are certain to contain insights and information you will find nowhere else.
Now, we want you to enjoy a sampling of some of the serious help our members share with each other, such as these ground-breaking articles, which are followed with a complementary link to browse, read, and this will allow you to see the difference between entertainment and empowerment:
“The Most Efficient Treasure Detector.”
TREASURE TRACKING: You must observe Native Americans' tracking ability to grasp how remarkable it is.... To read signs that are all but invisible to the unaware, but once you know, they actually stand out. That scuff of moss from a rock to indicate passage even months before; the condition of exposed sap from a broken twig, giving the time of that passage; how anything says everything, just as it does in the practice of treasure tracking, covered in this report. How it is done, and why tracking can be very accurate, even when the signs are a century old.
“Treasure Leads: Making the Connection.”
Connections: Combining suspicion with bits of information and making a connection to treasure finds. Even economic status is a connection, of which few treasure seekers are aware, and one that can steer us to locations where caches are almost a certainty.
“All Charged-Up and No Place to go.”
Practical tips on how to get permission to seek treasure on private property; also how to harness the power of publicity and make it work for you.
“Tricks of the Trade.”

“Stuffing Spots in Buildings.”
Treasure stuffing spots in dwellings, more tips on where to look. If your house had previous tenants do not overlook the potential treasures in secret sites in your own home and elsewhere.
“Seeing Money When Others Can Not: Part One.”
A report for advanced treasure recovery professionals. A most valuable subject: Lead the field - know how: The key to recognizing the worth of an object before it has gained its value. How to connect “time” with the hidden value of a future collectable. Information on the once-secret insiders' TT rule defined. Also the “NUTS” factor explored (Nothing New Under The Sun).
“Conclusion of the TT Factor Report.”
More information on how to recognize a future collectable. Examples are given in this issue.
“This Little Probe of Mine.”
This report will amaze you with the use of probes in treasure recovery. Also startling information about the long distance “scopes.”
“Where Oh Where To Go?”
Spring weather offers a good time to check out sites before foliage grows back to camouflage areas. This is a good time to re-check summer search sites, as treasures earlier buried could now be revealed by the winter rains - once you know-how and why. New information on early roadbeds included here, which gives you an inside advantage when looking for potential sites.
“Facts Stranger than Fiction.”
Exciting information on recovering trace gold. Collectables once deemed worthless, recently classified collectable - insider examples and categories. Some new light shed on diamonds. Something new to look for and far more valuable that you would suspect.
“The Search for Time Vaults.”
You may have heard “whispers” about this edition titled “Time Vaults.” While others look for treasure, one coin at a time, insiders know there are time vaults in every town. Just ONE of these can fund your retirement. Join now, read it, and guard the information.

Our request for a minimum donation amount varies. It has been at the $11 for half a year, after nearly one year at twenty-five dollars. This reflect no reduction in benefit, in fact more has been posted. with the same year-long access, without restrictions, to Insider achieves, including the recent declassified 2006, 2007, and the 2008 tell-it-like-it-works that was quietly folded in to the member's side. Our cost-sharing amount varies to assure an adequate cash flow to fund the treasure-finding know-how and fame earned since our formal charter in 1983.. Last year cost sharing this date would have have been $25. We do not seek new associates, we are not a publishing venture, but individuals as yourself looking for things that do what they are suppose to. Our concrescences are if only someone would serve us well, remove the element of risk, and earn our trust, we could combine our numbers to equal a sum great than the sum total of us individually. We don't screen our associates, they do it themselves as our associates allows those looking for something for nothing, to win. Just one aspect of the wisdom of our circle; honest people, honest treasure secrets, safe from dilution when too many know how! Hard to believe, but folks would rather not empower their skill factor if there is a need to knock on a door, or the ticket is NOT FREE, and, worth every bit as the true cost is hidden, or no one would venture within the glorious abodes their webs weave.
