|A Treasure Hunting Classic!,
After the runaway success of his Treasure Hunter’s Manual #6, “The Old Man” (although he wasn’t quite so old in the mid-1960′s!), sat down and wrote what amounted to a completely different book – THM #7.
Without a doubt this is the most complete handbook to successful treasure finding ever written. Well over 90% of what it covers is just as applicable today as it was written over four decades ago – and that is quite an achievement.
Please see the scan for the famous “LUE Treasure Map.” Almost anything you read about this “natural Fort Knox” (which could be read at least two different ways) came from this book (there are some scattered mentions in Treasure of the Valley of Secrets by “Deek Gladson”).
Any copy of this map – on the Internet or otherwise – is reprinted from this book and probably without the permission of the copyright holder.
Karl begins at the beginning: “What is Treasure?” Other Chapters comprehensively explain, in detail, “When,” “Why,” “Who,” “Where,” and “How.”
Karl was the first treasure hunting author to offer accurate advice on “The Law” and “The Tax Problem.” Of course, he was the first th’ing (he coined that, by the way) author to discuss a lot of things!
You can’t read Chapter IX “Publicity and Secrecy” too many times. In successful treasure hunting – and in life – it pays to shut up and fly low.
There is, of course, much more – “Treasure Leads and Research,” “History,” “Legends and Myths,” “Disposition of Treasure” – if will do you more good if you convert it to cash after you find it, on and on.
As a kid Chapter XIX “Buried vs. Sunken Treasure” was eye-opening. I’d read countless stories of huge, unfound lost treasure ships. The fact is these are out of reach of almost everyone. And, as those who salvage the SS John Berry discovered, finding it and recovering it may not be everything. However, Karl’s version of buried treasure finding is within reach of anyone with the willingness to try.
And a copy of this book couldn’t hurt a bit!
The RAM reprint is a trade paperback (8 ½” x 5 ½”, Wraps). It is a revision of the First Edition. The first printing was in 1972; it was revised and reprinted in 1974; and reprinted again in 1979.
Karl’s very useful Bibliography was replaced with a much shorter version. Some of the numerous B&W photos were replaced. And – no surprise here! – Appendix D “Building Your Own Treasure Detector” was removed. Charles Garrett saw no point in teaching treasure hunters how to build their own metal detector!
Many copies of this book were read and re-read, taken in the field and consulted by campfire light. It is quite rare to locate a copy in Fine or better condition!
