This is the twelfth title in a series long popular with middle readers (especially boys) and men. Clearly legends, not guides, these stories are yet driven by the possibility that unfound treasures await the curious, the determined, the restless mind. W.C. Jameson has toured much of the country in a battered, green Ford pick-up truck, collecting legends and searching for the elusive riches that treasure hunters believe await them. His sources include his own fieldwork and archival documents, as well as th reports of die-hard treasure seekers and their descendents. This volume includes twenty-nine legends, among them: The Buried Gold of Fat Patty Cannon (Delaware), Senator Parry's Lost Treasure (Maryland), Sea Island Treasure Cache (New Jersey), Grand Island Treasure Caches and Lost French Gold on Treasure Island (New York), Susquehanna Indian Silver Mine and Doane Gang Treasure (Pennsylvania) State-by-state location maps, a glossary, and a bibliography are included.

W.C. Jameson was an active treasure hunter for more than fifty years. He has fallen from cliffs, had ropes break during climbs, been caught in mine shaft cave-ins, contended with flash floods, been shot at, watched men die, and had to deal with rattlesnakes, water moccasins, scorpions, and poisonous centipedes. He has fled for his life from park rangers, policemen, landowners, competitors, corporate mercenaries, and drug runners. He has also discovered enough treasure to pay for his own house and finance his and his children’s education. With his enigmatic treasure-hunter partners, Slade, Stanley, and Poet, Jameson's stories are worthy of an Indiana Jones film—except that they are all true.

The twenty-four tales in this book are of the most famous lost treasures in America, from a two-foot statue reportedly made entirely of silver (the “Madonna”) and a cache of gold, silver, and jewelry that was rumored to also contain the first Bible in America to seventeen tons of gold—its value equal to the treasury of a mid-sized nation—buried somewhere in northwestern New Mexico. What makes these tales even more compelling is that none of these known-to-be-lost treasures have been discovered, although modern detecting technology has made them eminently discoverable.
