treasure-hunter
Seeks buried riches
A treasure-hunter is someone who searches for valuable objects, whether buried pirate gold, sunken ships, or artifacts hidden in attics and estate sales.
The term covers both professionals who use metal detectors and diving equipment to locate historical riches, and hobbyists who scour flea markets and thrift stores hoping to find undervalued gems.
The treasure-hunter spent decades searching for the legendary shipwreck.
