In 1989, with my metal detector in hand, I traveled to Great Britain to walk the fields where people had lived, fought and died, for thousands of years. 

As I searched for treasure, I thought about what their lives would have been like during those times. Imagine finding what they had lost, buried or hidden for safekeeping, knowing that one discovery could change my life!

Turner’s Treasure Team/Roman Villa Floor

Come with me on this journey as I describe the
day I found the villa floor


This was one of my greatest finds to date! It all started when I received permission to search a certain field, at this point I had no idea what was in store for me.

It started with a good signal that ended up to be junk! For some reason something made me look closer into the hole I had dug! At the bottom there were some unusual rectangular stones so I decided to dig a little bit more…

One Team… One Opportunity!

 This is a blog about treasure hunting and about our gift idea for the person who has everything and is looking for something different and exciting to add to his or her portfolio.

Chris Turner here,  just wanted to let you all know that from time to time I will be adding pictures and talking about discoveries made by our team and others from around the world.

The fact that I am living in Vancouver at the present time and working non-stop at promoting our company, means I have little time to get out to Europe and search for buried treasure.

However my game plan is to find an investor for my company so my teammates and I can spend the rest of our lives doing what we love to do… Searching for hidden & buried treasure.

I will post stories and pictures from my good friend and Vice President Paul Minton who lives in the U.K and of others who have made discoveries while searching the fields for buried treasure.

I love treasure hunting for this reason… You never know what you will find next…

The Hoxne Treasure is perhaps the richest cache of gold and silver coins, jewellery and tableware from the entire late Roman world.

Twenty-nine pieces of gold jewellery, 124 silver table utensils of various types and over 15,000 gold and silver coins were placed carefully into a wooden chest and buried at some point during the early 5th century AD.

2000 year old golden neckband

For 40 years, Maurice Richardson has been braving all weathers to scour the countryside with his trusty metal detector, dreaming of buried treasure.

But he almost ignored an unpromising-sounding beep as he searched for debris from a wartime air crash while being pelted with rain.

However the 59-year-old is glad his curiosity got the better of him after his persistence in digging through more than two feet of Nottinghamshire mud yielded a stunning 2,000-year-old gold treasure.

You have to love a country that is full of history and has so much  to discover, for the ones who live for the search!
