  • North Carolina. In second place comes the state of North Carolina, a known hot spot for family vacations that hold many valuable items waiting to be found!

It is rumored that this was once Blackbeard's stomping grounds, with four possible locations near Ocracoke Island where his treasure could be spotted. Are you ready to outsmart a pirate?

  • Utah. Next up, head to Utah to enjoy an exciting vacation destination. Here, you may find King Montezuma's gold, an Aztec treasure, underneath its sands and canyons.

If you're brave, go for the supposed hidden treasure inside Utah's caves. Rumor has it Aztec warriors killed each other to have their spirits protect their gold. So if you're not superstitious, go for it!

  • Arizona. Last but not least comes the state of Arizona. This state is a famous gold-hunting spot! Go to the counties of Yuma, Yavapai, Maricopa, Cochise, and Mojave to get lucky.

There are as many active mines as abandoned mines that are worth checking out! Or head out to the North to undug the Lost Dutchman's treasure, a concentrated gold mine considered the most famous lost mines in America.

Florida's best metal detecting locations

As promised, here's a bonus list with Florida's top treasure-filled spots.

Visit these State Parks and coastal parks around Florida that allow metal detectors. Little Talbot Island State Park is a fine example.

On top of that, most areas allow metal detecting on public beaches without a permit. Some of these are Jacksonville, Amelia Island, Tallahassee, South Walton, Pensacola, Panama City Beach, Sarasota County, Monroe County, Palm Beach, and more!

However, stay away from National Parks, monuments, seashores, and lands in Florida as they don't allow metal detecting. Before traveling, make sure to check your destination's specific rules and regulations!
