How to find treasure from old maps and Maprika. In this video, I'm following old wagon trails based on my maps from the 1800s. It took 3 days to cover the trails and I found some really interesting items. A very rare Civil War bullet popped out of the ground. Plus, I also visit an old house foundation belonging to Samual Myers from the 1800s. if you want detailed instructions on how to use Maprika you'll want to read my blog post referenced below and be sure to click the link over to another article that goes through step by step on how to use Maprika. I hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you for introducing me to Maprika several weeks ago. Last weekend I finally got around to figure out how to use it correctly like you do. It worked great! I look forward to using it more.

Use it while you can they haven't updated it in over a year. I have a funny feeling it won't work at some point.

@The Duo Diggers sorry but I can't reply to comment for some reason so I'll do it here instead. I am happy to say that the band will be back together soon. We have a planned trip coming up (this week) and I'll have the video rolling for sure :-)

Congrats on your finds! We don't many civil war relics or artifacts out in CO. Just stumbled across your video. New subscriber. Thxs for the info on maps. There's so many apps. And very few actually work out here. Gonna give it a try. Later man.

I travel Rt. 84 between Uniontown and 75 several times a week and it wasn't until the other day that I noticed, what looks to be an old chimney. It's hard to tell from the road while I'm driving, but it is shaped like an old chimney. As you head up the hill to the stop sign to 75, it's off to the right along the wood line about 200-300 feet from the road. It's too far from where I live to hunt, but I thought I'd pass it on.

Sometimes those old maps are slightly out of scale and will be off a little. You just have to adjust fire and drive on.

Did you have video on how to track yourself on a old map to pin point location ? (if this ? makes since) I have a 1864 map of a location and I think I know the about area, so can I track myself on the old map? can't figure out how on Maprika, can you give me a easy how to? Thanks and enjoy your videos!

Jeff, haven't used Maprika in a long time but from what I heard it still works like it used to. I wrote about it on my blog a long time ago www.mentalmetal314.com/2015/02/metal-detecting-with-old-maps.html There is a reference to a post that Scott Clark did on how to use it. Click his link and that should give you what you need. Its not that difficult you just have to find common points of reference today that existed back then (cemeteries, churches, intersections, etc.) The more anchors you can place the more accurate your old map will scale to where you are. I've tested it by walking around Gettysburg from maps I had from back during the war where soldiers were positioned etc. and it was ridiculously accurate but I had placed about 30 anchors to get it to scale that way. Good luck and let me know how you did. -mm314

How can I find your blog? Btw, what exactly is a blog? Lol...I think it's like a place to write stuff...I'm not into all this stuff! I'd like to know how to find a nice map like that with people's homes listed on it! Rural places like where I live didn't do that I guess :-( I know you don't give all your secrets away, but I'm not trying to research your places, just mine. Good video! Great finds! GL! HH!

Thanks Megan for the comment. My blog is linked off of my KZfaq channel and I also think I linked it in the "about" section. Let me know if you can't find it. But you're right it's just a place to post stuff :) as far as the maps go the Internet is full of them you just have to poke around but you'll find them but I agree sometimes you won't find maps on some locations so I would recommend reaching out to your local historical society or library. They are always a great resource. Good luck!

It's been awhile since I've used it but yes screen shot or take a pic either way should work. To scale the photos look for churches and cemeteries that existed back in the today that are still around. The more pins you can put on your map the tighter it gets
