If I were living in Arkansas, Nevada, or California I’d be spending time digging up gems and gold for my retirement.

 Treasure hunting can be fun! Travel Channel’s 10 hot picks for America’s treasure finding list. Discovery channel’s Treasure Quest has treasure hunting from the world for the professionals. We all long to have treasures for retirement. Today it isn’t so far fetched as it sounds to have a retirement nest egg from treasure hunting as these two channels have given us some great ideas for to build our retirement.

The solid nest egg, is not so elusive today as we had thought. How is it not so elusive? I saw one day of how some adventurous people who decided to become a miner in the modern age. People have let the secret out that you can prospect and can keep your finds for yourself. Now that’s solid nest building stuff! I suggest you go with others and have your husband know about it too. Prospecting takes skill, stamina, some fees, and equipment. Research first and don’t go alone. Many prospecting is in remote areas of America. We city dwellers are not accustomed to roughing it. Camping without the Hilton can be difficult.

I found that opals, my birthstone can be dug for, in Nevada. Detour to the mining sites for awhile and not go to the gambling casino and dig for your retirement, children’s college and university education money, or for that nest egg you need in your retirement. Prospecting is fun for the whole family too!

Nevada’s Royal Peacock Opal Mines has spectacular opals for prospecting. There are other mines located in Nevada. Turquoise minesin Neveda, are quite fascinating. There are many different kinds of turquoise and other stones people need and will buy.
