treasure hunting
Chasing buried wealth
Treasure hunting is searching for hidden or lost valuables—buried pirate gold, sunken cargo, ancient artifacts.
The activity ranges from hobbyists with metal detectors combing beaches to professional expeditions seeking shipwrecks.
Figuratively, treasure hunting applies to any pursuit of valuable finds: Thrift shopping is basically treasure hunting.
