I'm of the opinion that outside of documented sunken ships and perhaps the occasional find arising from military records that little else (of any substantial worth) is actually found.
I've read my share of books and magazines with thousands of tales of lost gold mines, buried outlaw treasure, hidden accumulated wealth, mule trains laden with silver and gold, etc, etc. Just flipping through "Buried treasure you can find" by Robert Marx you get the impression that there is so much to find that we'd hear of discoveries on a regular basis and with the advents in technology they would be increasing.
I don't see that happening. So tell me -- are 99% of what you read just either tall tales or contain such vague geography that it's just as worthless?
