Book Lost Treasures of California   Map and Guide

Download or read book Lost Treasures of California Map and Guide written by Academia Maps® and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing stirs the imagination quite so much as the lure of hidden treasure. Stories of buried chests laden with gold and jewels, or hidden stashes of gold coins, combine the allure of fabulous riches with the excitement of adventure. A good legend of treasure is like a "perfect storm" for a creative imagination.Avid treasure hunters know and casual treasure hunters soon learn that the rich nuggets found while hunting for treasure may not be gold-ore, but legends and stories that will inspire and delight generations, while sometimes connecting us to deeply personal histories of the real people behind the stories.This is not a guide that points out where to dig. Let this be your guide to the beginning of a search for more information. Many of the sites indexed on the map are on private property or state lands that require official permission to access. Most reasonable people would conclude that if the exact location of buried or hidden treasure was known and obvious, the treasure would no longer be there. The map points us to the "vicinity" of the legend, either where the legend originates from, or where it points to, our best effort is made to indicate the most important places that relate to the legends of the treasures.

Download or read book Commander s Lost Treasures You Can Find In California written by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHOOSE YOUR STATE and start finding your fortune! Find Lost Treasures with Commander, one of the World's Top Lost History and Treasure Hunters. This is the TEXT BOOK that will teach you the formulas and secrets that real history and professional treasure hunters use to make amazing discoveries. The same techniques and methods Commander uses to train all his existing and new ExpeditionHistory.org Team Members. This book contains select Treasure Legends but IS NOT a book of treasure legends. This is a How-To and Instructional book that shares SECRETS and TECHNIQUES that make it possible for people to find lost history and treasure. This powerful educational book series teaches you to learn Commander's Proprietary (and before this secret) C.A.C.H.E. Research Formula that produces proven results. Commander also shares his 3x3x3 Proven Forensic Research Method. Research is the key to finding lost treasure, artifacts, relics and lost history, but do you know how much lost treasure in the United States, or the State of your choice? Well Commander does and he shares (for the first time ever published) a precise listing - State by State in the United State - how much lost wealth there is out there in Lost Treasures, Sunken Treasures and Lost Mines. Commander wrote this book to EDUCATE AND INFORM you on the ins-and outs of the treasure and history hunting hobby and business. Special chapters educate you on understanding why gold always goes up and its effect on, not only the economy, but how something worth a mere $20 in gold in 1880, is worth between $1500 and $1,000,000 dollars in today's market. How can you decide what lost treasure to peruse if you don't understand the economics of gold, supply and demand, the precious metals markets and why people invest in precious metals in the first place? You can't - to be successful you need an education in treasures - specifically gold. Each treasure story included comes with a simple 10 Step Research Check List and notes page so YOU CAN CUSTOMISE this book and KEEP YOUR PERSONAL RESEARCH neatly documented with the treasure story you select to investigate. BUT THIS BOOK IS NOT about Treasure Stories, it is about HOW TO RESEARCH THEM, FIND THEM, RECOVER THEM and gain incredible rewards. Additional chapter sections include public domain photographs of the various types of professional treasure hunting equipment used (you need to know what equipment professionals use to find lost history and treasures) and a description of each, various treasure hunting locations experienced by the ExpeditionHistory.org teams; and a compendium of Commander's various Treasure Hunting Books published. This is an educational book, not a recreational book. This book is to learn, study and apply powerful educational information, not just read snippets of various treasure legends. So, if you want to learn how the professionals do it and document it, then this book is for you. Commander has written over 200 individual Lost Treasure History Books, and in these book Commander becomes your own personal How-To Treasure Hunt Coach and Treasure Historian. Whether it's lost Spanish Gold, Lost Gold Mine and even Lost Cities or Civilizations - Commander has done it and you can too.

Book Lost Mines and Treasure Tales of Southern California

Download or read book Lost Mines and Treasure Tales of Southern California written by Ivan Herring and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains over 90 stories of Lost Mines and Treasurers, in Southern California (composed of the Counties of Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura). Many of the stories concern treasurers buried by the Priests, the Spanish, Indians, bandits and Colonial settlers during the many incidents and wars that rocked the area in the 16th through the early 20th centuries. I found the data for this book while doing research on old mines for my series of books Mines of the American West. The "Lost Mines and Treasurers" were identified from articles in early American newspapers and other sources considered reliable. Where possible, for those lost treasures still to be found, I have tried to tie them to modern mines or areas and include some background data on such areas. In doing this, some of them seemed to "fall short" in the area of fact and logic, which I may point out. The reader should understand that this is a collection of data from old and new publications and not a focused specifically on the effort to find the specific properties, although some research, especially from a logic standpoint, has been done. If the reader can glean critical information from these original articles and the limited research that allows or helps him or her to locate a "lost mine" or "lost treasure", I wish him or her well and leave it to them to reap the rewards.The print version of this book has been produced in the 81⁄2" X 11" format to keep the price low. If done in 6" X 9" or smaller, the book would be 2 or 3 times as many pages in length and would cost substantially more to increased "on demand" print costs. These seem to be heavily influenced by the total number of pages. While this may be one of the seeming drawbacks to "on-demand printing" - the benefit of "on-demand printing" is that specialty books, such as this, are now practical to publish where the target market may be relatively small and minimal returns to the author are acceptable.Due to the number of stories I found for the State of California, the stories have been split into three books, Southern California, Central California and Northern California. This was done to keep the cost of the book under $10.00 and to keep the book small enough so that if it were produced in a smaller page size, such as the more common 6" X 9" or smaller, or as a "pocket book", the number of pages would still be manageable. It should also be noted that I may periodically update and revise the electronic version before creating a Fourth Edition. The guidelines for submissions for the electronic versions allow updates, without producing a full new edition, while the "print on demand" or hard copy paperback version does not and require that a full new edition to be developed to incorporate any changes. As such, the two books may not be exactly the same, as it is likely the electronic version will be updated more frequently than the paperback.

Book The Secret

Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

As a soldier, a husband, a divorcee, a partner of a successful construction business in Denver, owner of Fantasy Dive Charters in Australia, to being a treasure hunter in the mountains and desert of the Southwest, he faced many self-imposed challenges."
