Do you have a treasure hunter's heart and stamina, patience and fortitude?
I have spent decades collecting legends and clues about potential hidden treasures. As a researcher I packed my files overflowing. I learned to be expert on Google Earth, to learn about history, coordinate with professionals with equipment and knowledge, strong backs, and determination to manage hunts.
Honestly, my first time diving into this I was 12 years old. My mother, an historian, told me deep in the library's Virginia Room were a series of diaries by revolutionary war soldiers. One soldier told about Braddock's gold, payrorll in gold that was stuffed into cannons and buried 50 paces east of an oak tree. Me and a close buddy spent an entire summer searching and digging.
It is an exciting and adrenalin-loading hobby! Seekers lose marriages, finances, become homeless, become lonely, are considered insane, but they cannot stop following the clues. Just think of Benjamin Gates (played by Nicholas Cage) in "National Treasure."
Now, let's talk about what characteristics you need to understand if you are qualified or ready to take on treasure hunting -
Health. You don't necessarily need to be super fit to treasure hunt. There are plenty of positions for you in research, home base, Google Earth tech, history research and more for those who cannot go into the field. The use of things like side-by-side vehicles and drones can help take stress off of long hikes. Know your strengths and weaknesses, consider making lifestyle changes to be more of an asset. Sometimes you must mountain climb or rappel, spelunk, dig, metal detect, and more. Also, keep in mind you could damage your lungs, get trapped, fall, break bones, or lose your life. 
Safety. I'm not saying you should be paranoid, but if you are on the track of potentially millions of dollars of fortune, you can't be chatty, you need to really feel secure with your team, and try not to give anything away online. You also need to regard private properties and no trespassing signs. Cooperate with property owners. Never put a member in a position of potentially being trapped or dying. Take the time to secure the scene before anyone explores.
Intellect. This is easily 80% of the process. You have to like history, legends, mapping, archaeology, and more. The bigger your team, the more people that can leak info or go rogue on their own, so you may feel safer doing these things in a close group, maybe 3 folks. Also, remember places like TreasureNet have lots of folks blowing smoke and often to drive you off the real course. It is not an accurate source. Be suspicious and private. Ride under the radar. No one knows what you do in your own time. Maybe you like to "hike" and "explore." Maybe you "prospect" doing some panning on the weekends. It can literally be dangerous when you are talking about treasures worth an enormous fortune. 
Sacrifices. How far are you willing to go? What would you give up? Career? Relationships? Home? Finances? Friendships? Life? Others lives? Be honest about it because seeking treasure can be all-consuming and you get deeper and deeper into it like listening to sirens and before you know it, you crash on the rocks.
Finding balance
There is absolutely no reason why you can't find treasure hunting a mental puzzle, a weekend blast, and a side hustle. It's all about balance. Each clue can make you crazier that you are sooooo close to the motherlode.
Some guys go fishing, throw the bait in and ponder what fish will show up. Treat it similarly. You don't know if there will be no fish or the fish may not be the ones you like to eat. Just be happy with the process.
So y'all know, I will be sharing individual treasure research from loads of locations that I accumulated over the years. I actually want people to take it and run because I am focused on filmmaking and other projects. It seems a real loss to not share the hard work that may bring joy or amazing memories to others.
