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.
Download or read book The Field Guide to American Trash written by Bram Hepburn and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's 1840, and a tired old man in dusty tattered work clothes, smoking a corn cob pipe, takes the last swig from his bottle of rum then tosses it onto the ground. Eventually it gets buried by the leaves. For almost two hundred years the bottle lays there undisturbed until I am lucky enough to discover it again and hold it in my hands. It wasn't in a museum and it wasn't in a private collection. It just went from his hands into mine. That just blows my mind!" In A Field Guide to American Trash, author Bram Hepburn takes us with him into the woods, scuba diving to the bottom of rivers, and to any other place that our American forefathers tossed their trash. Most trash from the 1800's or before has decomposed or disintegrated over the years, but glass, pottery, and some hard metal relics have survived the generations, and are hidden all around us waiting to be found. After forty of years enjoying this "fascinating hybrid of dumpster diving and urban archeology", Hepburn shares the trade secrets and tips that might help you find a jackpot of historical treasure in your own neighborhood! This thoughtfully written guide has colorful sections on Sea Glass (the oceans gems of old trash), snorkeling fresh water rivers and lakes, as well as metal detecting for historical treasure that once belonged to people from another time. The hobby itself is wide ranging and will take you along the foliage lined tote roads of New England, into the darkest corners of a ten foot deep Civil War era privy pit, down to the murky bottoms of black water rivers in search of historic bottles, pottery, and relics. While there is a thrill in finding a rare bottle or relic worth hundreds of dollars, the value found in the hunt itself is what gives depth to this fascinating hybrid of dumpster diving and urban archeology.
