Great book. I have found two forts and an old gold mining town close to me to hunt in thanks to this book. It really is a good book.

This book is great. It has many great places to look for treasure in every state. The author has done years of research to find many old ghost towns, buried treasure stories, and many other places. It gives tips on metal detecting, but seems to have been paid by Garrett Metal Detectors to advertise and show their detectors in this book. It also informs you how to find good places to look. This book is a masterpiece and very interesting even if you are not going out to look for lost treasures of yesterday.

But this writer simply tried to cut too wide a swath. I'd have preferred fewer lost treasures and more information on those.

I think that an index by state and type of area would be a good addition to this book. As it is, it lists several areas you are not allowed to hunt in included as sites to hunt! In addition, for Ohio and Pennsylvania at least, there are a large number of sites listed that just have wrong information. This combined with a lack of a usable index or system of classifying sites, would lead me to recommend that you wait until the next addition comes out and corrects these issues before spending your money on it. However, if you have no idea where to go to metal detect, it does provide some useful information on where to go.

it listing a lot of tips 7500---however since it list so many tips--- needless to say it can only give a brief bit on each one----its a good starting point of "local treasure stories /tales" in your state & area that you then must go and do the "leg work" to flesh out the rest of the story. if you are a research based type hunter its a good starting point--- "tips" to get you started ---if you expect ---"well go the the corner of elm and jones street in zippytown,florida and walk seven feet east --dig five feet down and you'll be set for life ---well get real --if it was that easy the bookwriter would do it. good hunting to all.

Very happy with this book. Came in a timely manner was very easy to read and thoroughly enjoyed it.

LOVED THIS BOOK. COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. AS A BEGINNING TREASURE HUNTER, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

This book doesn't give you any detail on actual locations. Just vague stories. I wouldn't buy.

This book is boring as hell
