Haven't been out in months so no real treasures to report. Yesterday while at the Goodwill I found the following book :

Gold Rush Album

Editor in Chief - Joseph Henry Jackson

The complete story of the greatest treasure hunt in history.

Charles Scribner's Sons Copyright 1949

I'm sure to treasure the book for a long time ... so that's my treasure of late.

Nothing wrong with that. We have to keep ourselves occupied for a few more weeks in the North.

Just found out it's a first edition as well so I suppose that's a plus. I'm itching to get back out there to the point I'm almost ready to go do some dirt cellars ...

I have to start going to the goodwill down the street. Problem is I would more than likely pass up the good stuff and bring home the junk.
