Mark D Smith

If there is treasure to be found, you can bet Mark Smith will be somewhere right above it trying to carefully remove it from the ground. When he is not recovering treasure with his metal detector, he is busy researching his next hunt or sharing his treasure hunting tips with people all over the world. He loves every aspect of this great hobby, and his books show it.

There is no other hobby on the planet that provides such great opportunities because you just never really know what you will dig up next. It could be a pop top, or it could be a gold coin that dates back to the Roman empire. There is treasure to be found just about everywhere, and Mark has been happily digging it up every single chance he gets.

Along his treasure recovering journey, Mark has picked up quite a few tips. He has also learned some very valuable lessons. All of which he happily shares in his books on the subject of treasure hunting.

“It can be difficult to describe the feeling you get when you unearth a piece of treasure. It is exhilarating and unbelievable at the same exact time. Where did it come from? What kind of history does it hold? I often find myself looking at my treasure and shaking my head in disbelief; thinking I can't believe I just dug this up!”

Mark's passion for recovering treasure comes through in his easy to read books that make treasure hunting as simple as possible.

“I get equally excited knowing that anyone can do this and that is why I share everything I learn about treasure hunting in my books. If I can do it, then anyone can!”

Mark is currently traveling the United States in search of lost treasure with his metal detector. His travels have taken him to some of the best metal detecting hunting grounds on the planet, and every day he learns more about what he calls the greatest hobby in the world, treasure hunting.
