Ready to get your Indiana Jones on? In recent years, travelers have enjoyed geocaching, digging at Oak Island or even searching for hidden glass spheres in Jekyll Island, Georgia. So, if you want to build your vacation around searching for historical treasureseither buried in the ground or unseen on the dusty back shelf of an antiques store, there are certain cities you should put on your list. The sword company Swordis has prepared a roundup of the best cities in the U.S. for historic treasures, and were going to start crossing these off year by year. Huzzah!

　　The company analyzed the top 50 cities visited by international visitors while considering factors that play into both treasure hunting and vacation appeal. That means counting how many antique shops, flea markets, and auction houses there are, as well as the citys historical importance. Of course, public transit was assessed (gotta have a way to transport your shovel), as well as the cost of typical hotels and restaurantsand the potential for a treasure-hunting excursion. You can cheat by going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but why not find your own path?

　　According to the list, Newark, New Jersey, is the top city with a plethora of historical assetsSwordis calls it a historic playground. There are 34 antique stores per square mile and an impressive history dating back to1666. The Newark Museum of Art showcases the citys story with collections that interpret it, and the cost of staying and dining is very affordable.

　　Second on the list is Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It has five antique stores per square mile and a fascinating maritime history. Visit the Bonnet House Museum Gardens and the Stranahan House to get a glimpse of these previous days.

　　The third is San Francisco, California. Its importance to the Gold Rush can be seen at the Embarcadero, where a financial district was built upon abandoned ships and landfill (and...hidden gold?). With 4.5 antique stores per square mile, youll have fun exploring. Chinatown offers a lot to historically minded visitors, as do Fishermans Wharf, the Asian Art Museum, the de Young, the Legion of Honor, and the museum associated with the San Francisco Historical Society. Its also one of the cities believed to hold a hidden treasure box from the book The Secretif you find it, you can exchange it for a precious gem with the author Byron Preisss estate.
