Where's Your Treasure Map?

Scouting For Treasure

The new world - a distant exotic place telling tales of untold riches and conquest - was discovered some centuries ago and pillaged by many European colonial powers.  The Californian Gold Rush of the 1800s too is now reserved for the history books.  So where is the next Gold rush?  Where is there treasure to be found?

What do we mean by treasure exactly?  Is it Gold, other precious metals, or what about that slipper Black Gold?  I'd say it doesn't matter what treasure you find, it's the fact that it can make you money that is the important thing.  Of course as a boy I dreamt of finding treasure somewhere, but let's face it, that's really not looking at things in a realistic fashion.  For me, I have found my treasure, after scouting for it over many years.  It might not be what you think.

My treasure is usually wooden, it moves and makes the odd noise.  It's not a precious metal or any of the usual treasures you might think of.  What is it?  It's a roulette wheel.  Once you get to know this treasure, it can give you good fortune, but you have got to get to know it first.  You can't be a false friend (by pretending to know it well after 10 mins), you have to be genuine and spend some time with it.  If you do, you will surely be rewarded.

I know what I might have written may be a bit abstract, but it's true.  The game of roulette is a treasure trove waiting to be unlocked, with thousands of wheels all over the world, in many different countries and continents.  I scout roulette wheels for treasure.  When they are playable, I make sure to take advantage of the knowledge I have and what happens?  I get my treasure.

How will you find your treasure?
