Re: TREASURE STORY FINDING

The original post vanished! So this is the rehatch.
To find treasure you have to start with a story. You can get it from a treasure mag. or from one of the treasure books. ie U S Treasure Atlas by Thomas P. Terry, the many books of Thomas Penfield that start with A Guide To Treasure In--- State or States, The books of Glenn Carson, the books of Dobie, and last but not least Karl von Mueller. These books contain a lot of research in themselves, but you will have to add the final touches yourself. The guys on the net here have also put in a lot of sweat equity themselves. They usually don't mind filling in a detail or two that you need to complete your research, but you shouldn't expect them to do all the work for you.
Either get the books or find them in the library for your basic research then if you get hung up, ask specific questions.
Another source of info. is the computer. You will be surprised what you can find by just typing a word in your search machine like Butch Cassidy.
One other thing, it's nice to know the name of the story but names change or several names go to the same story so always know the state and county location or territory on real old stories. This will save you a lot of time.

Thanks, I dont have any problem finding the stories and the actually history, I just had a problem on how to track down properties and who currently owns them. I do appreciate the help Frank, thank you.
