(filed under: Treasure Hunting / Goldmining ) * stock image, actual book may vary by Major William Downie Published in 1893 this fascinating story is a must read for anyone interested in the Gold Rush and in the areas in and around Downieville, California. Major William Downie and a group of prospectors were the first group other than the Indians to venture as far back into the Sierra s as they did, and they were rewarded richly for their efforts. Gold was so rich in the area they literally sometimes just picked it up off the ground or out of the creeks. Panning 50 or more ounces in a day was normal in the beginning. His story is absolutely amazing as he tells of all their experiences from finding gold, to being snowed in and almost starving to death while having tons of gold but no one to buy food from, to the ending as the Easy gold eventually played out. He also tells stories of Downieville in it s early days, a town he is credited with founding, and a must see town even today if you have not been there. Later he would leave California to chase gold in other rushes around the world.

(filed under: Treasure Hunting / Goldmining ) * stock image, actual book may vary A cedar chest that had been packed with gold coins robbed from a bank just south of Lexington, Kentucky in 1860 was recovered 50 years later by a fishing guide at King's Mill Pond. Only a handful of coins were left in the chest, which had mostly rotted away. Is the rest settled beneath the silt of the pond today? The Appalachian Mountains have witnessed untold fortunes gained and lost. The confluence and clashes of a number of cultures Native American Indian, French, Spanish, pioneer, and Union and Confederate forces - often resulted in struggles over mineral resources or fights about stashes of gold and silver that were hidden for later retrieval. W.C. Jameson gathered his material from journals, maps, on-site research in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and from interviews with people whose lives have been entwined with the search for long lost treasures. This book contains 40 legends with accounts of caves stacked from floor to ceiling with gold ingots; of caches guarded by skeletons and curses; and of Union payrolls scattered to the four winds. $9.95 Jefferis, Roger; McDonald, Kendall Wreck Hunters hardcover. .

(filed under: Treasure Hunting / Goldmining ) * stock image, actual book may vary Gold, the glowing sacred metal of the ancient Incas, the elusive prize so many men have dreamed of and for which so many have died. Howard Jennings, real-life treasure hunter and long-time friend of author Robin Moore, have joined to tell Jenning's story in this romantic adventure fiction. It is an incredible tale, one that tells of rivers of emeralds in snake-filled jungles; of desert gun duels fought in the shadow on ancient Inca pyramids; of hairbreadth escapes from bandits in the mist-shrouded Andes; of love, courage and obsession. Most of all, it is absolutely true. It is also a compendium of treasure hunting lore, in which Howard Jennings not only discloses the secrets that have made him wealthy, but actually pinpoints the location of several still-undiscovered and in some cases, never-before-discussed treasure hoards. $8.95 Nesmith, Robert I.
