Treasure Hunting
Trust and Loyalties
KGC
The "Knights of the Golden circle" is, without doubt, the hottest topic on the "Treasure" related internet today. Based on the high amount of interest, it seems prudent to delve into the information required, partnerships and trust.The KGC is a volatile subject and good information is rare. Lets take a deeper look.
Waybills and Letters
In the very early 1990's, in south Texas several hundred waybills and letters were given to some treasure hunters. In the mid-1990's, a trunk found its way into the hands of a collector of antiques. An old house in Missouri yielded a waybill hidden in a wall. Another waybill surfaced
on a large ranch in far west Texas. The list is longer, but there is no need to continue with it.
The common thread is that all of the occurrences were related to The KGC.
Rare Information
The documents were exactly what every KGC researcher hopes to discover. These "papers" were all 100% authentic. A treasure hunter's dream come true.
Now comes the toughest part of all--------------------------------------
Intrepretation
Where the heck do you start? You've been hunting treasure for a long time and
have a little info on the KGC, but not much. There is a lot of talk
on the internet and those guys act like they know more than you. Would they be willing to share what they know if you shared your maps?
You have worked really hard to obtain those papers and waybills. Maybe you should think on it a while.
Treasure Clubs
Most treasure hunters get started because they want to find coins and jewelry with their new metal detector. They find a club or a group of hunters to associate with and learn from. Alliances begin to form and information is exchanged on some really hot coin sites. The group makes a date to hunt
and everybody has a good time. Too bad that two or three of the guys didn't make it. Next month, same thing with hot site information sharing. Another hunt and more no shows, by the same bunch. A funny thing occors to some of you. These same guys
never join with the club hunts, but they always show up at the meetings with the oldest and best finds. Hmmmmmmmmmm!!! What you're thinking isn't what you wanted to believe, but it turns out to be true.
The Truth Is
That coin and treasure hunting clubs are the best thing for metal detector
users in any location worldwide. Sadly, Elitist groups, like those mentioned above, can be found in almost all treasure hunting groups. Generally , they will be found out and exposed, but not before friendships are damaged and the image of all concerned is tarnished.
Back to the KGC
The kind of deceit mentioned above, escalates out of sight at the higher levels of treasure hunting. Well-intentioned hunters give up their hard-earned information and never know the rest of the story. The documents that they handed over just didn't pan out there hasn't been enough time.
Maybe you ought to think some more about alliances!
Trust
Is not a new concept! In fact that very concept has existed since creation. At just about the same time another concept was introduced to the gullible folks in the lovely garden. That concept is called Treachery!
Genesis
Is where you will find out about Trust and treachery in spades. If you're thinking about sharing your information, get to know the parties involved. You heard that
"these folks are honest and just want to help" The fact is that Nobody hunts KGC Treasure just because they are good ol' boys and want to learn more of the history of secret societies.
Rash Decisions
Will only cause you great amounts of grief. Take more time to study new material on the KGC. Scour the internet for more material on the "Knights" than you already have. Like your "Waybills", new information is very hard to come by, but it is out there. Others have found it and so can "You"
