first time poster, long time troller.....


....Being a Socal native, the story of the pearl ship lost in the desert has always intrigued me. in large part because i have been to alot of the areas mentioned in this story. and no matter what version being told, me being from Los Angeles, i am always just a few short hours away. anyone know of any good books with lots of facts? hell, i will even take some made up facts, as long as i can read about my beloved pearl ships.

Jackrook - sorry for the late welcome but welcome to Treasurenet!



Just keep telling everyone "there is no such thing as a lost ship in a desert!"

Apparently there is a book titled The Lost Ship of the Desert by Bill Pfost. Perhaps someone out there in TreasureNet land has read it, has an opinion about it, and/or knows how to obtain a copy.

Good luck to all,

Perhaps there are other written works about this treasure. But, as part of your research I recommend the book "Lost Treasures and How to Find Them", by Emile Schurmacher. I can tell you first hand that his account of the Dutch Schultz treasure was right on. If the other accounts in this book are as well researched, you will consider this to be your definitive account.

Re the Bill Pfost booklet. it was a self printed book with all copies donated to the indio pioneer museum/ cultural center gift shop to sell.
as a way to help raise money for the museum. They will never be getting any more.
The master computer file disk though is about to be given to someone who is working to save the salton sea museum. if they will use it or just store it i dont know.
as for the location the book gives its not really helpful as it ends at the bombing range which was as close as he could get following the vague directions of
the eyewitness he had talked to. (the eyewitness who died earlier this year had only made the trip once with a coachella jeep group who was shown the way by an Imperial valley jeep group some thirty or so years ago)

HIO: Then lost Pearl ship is south of the border, near the Pinacates. Have fun.

Try to look for this book "Antonio de Fierro Blanco's book",, this might would help you.
