Paid $60 for a 'proven' dig site map from a retired archaeologist
The map led me to an empty field in Kentucky where the only thing I found was a rusted tractor part, so is paying for insider info ever worth it or are we all just chasing ghosts?

@dylanh97 nailed it honestly. People love selling dreams and calling it "insider info." That map was probably something some old guy found in a thrift store and photocopied a hundred times. I've seen this kind of thing before where folks pay big money for "proven" sites and end up with nothing but rusty junk. The whole treasure hunting community is full of people chasing stories more than actual finds. You're better off using public land records and your own research than trusting some stranger's map.

Paid insider info is just someone else's garbage they got tired of digging up, especially from a "retired archaeologist" who's probably just selling maps to random fields. Unless it's a verified historical document with receipts, you're basically paying for a treasure hunt that leads to a tractor part (which is still kind of funny though).
