Treasure Atlas

davbec

Has anyone here ever purchased those fifty state treasure atlas books? If so are they worth it? I'm thinking about
purchasing the Minnesota atlas. I know the stories can be fun to read but I'm hoping on finding some new leads on
lost treasure in or around MN. Give me your input guys.
Thanks
Dave

My take on stuff like this that lists famous treasures and so on is that they're usually interesting and fun to read, but of little value as leads in real treasure hunting.

It's pie-in-the-sky stuff. I don't waste my time chasing pie-in-the-sky treasures. I prefer to go after the more modest (but real) everyday treasures.

I agree LordM... however, they make a good read and especially for the ones that deal with the area you live in. Of course, Bob Lavoy, a White's dealer in Troy, NY, would take exception. He used historical accounts and clues to find a jar of $20 gold pieces (authenticated and shown on TV's treasure show). He is tracking a few others as well. It is a lot of work, and usually does not result in a find. But oh the fun and anticipation. Cheers, RickO

Sometimes there IS pie in the sky, for those who work hard enough to bake it! Wow.
