i have over 1000 magazines and over 200 boos for sale, in one lot this also includes the research files from the long closed, Legendary Jerrys Treasure Den in Syracuse NY I'm not willing to split this up this is one money see the list, this lot handwritten notes, letters from people trying to locate treasure, Beers style map xerox copy's on large paper for many NY state county's a binder full of the Treasure Hunters Confidential. odd ball xerox out of print books. map overlays maps with notes most of this stuff is for New York State as that's where I am originally from. there are official mining report books from the Yukon and parts of Canada, official giant Yukon placer maps and more this lot also will include the domain name "TheTreasureHunter.com" which I own we will figure out how to push that to your preferred web host.

shipping is pricey a full price offer, or near full price will include shipping, which i estimate to be about 10000 dollars or more also willing to trade full or partial for gold, silver platinum bullion, slabbed and graded coins, scrap jewelry coin collections with appraisals. not interested in your crusty dug finds or equipment you won't' find a collection like this anywhere on this planet. i am asking $8000 or best offer. you can always pic this lot up in person and if I'm not shipping it, it gets cheaper.


A note on the order of shipping the magazines. They will be shipped in no particular order, none of this will. nor will it ship all at once, my post office won't like that and neither will yours. I tried to keep volumes of the magazines in the same box, then I discovered another stash of magazines, and I was not going to sort through them again. this project has taken me nearly a year to complete in what little free time and desire to sort through this stuff I could muster. You will see some magazines on the list with asterisks, my intention was to point out the out of sequence issues, but I scrapped the idea as this was a slow-moving project and I wanted to just get on with it. The magazine boxes have writing on them and papers inside that is for my accounting only and not necessarily a representation of what’s in the box. It should not be considered accurate. It will be incumbent on the buyer to verify and make an accounting of the inventory. I shall give 30 days from the last shipment to notify me of omissions or mistakes. Bear in mind I’m old and do not see well and have dyslexia and it’s possible that I could have transposed a magazine date such as 1986 vs 1988 . in such a case there is no remedy, no refund you are buying this lot as is. If you find I missed a book or magazine you must notify me within 30 days so I may search for the missing item. If it was accidentally omitted, and I have it I will promptly send it. I have a couple of hundred duplicate magazines and a few duplicate books. I will search to make sure I have it and either I will have it, or I won’t. This is sold “as is” no refunds I have done my best to make an accurate accounting of what I have. You will have to accept any minor errors in accounting. Up to and including missing items. I will do what I can to make it right but, if I said there was a magazine there that I simply do not have, I cannot just go out and find one to replace it with. I don’t think you will find collection like this anywhere else on the planet right now.

The complete research files from the legendary, Jerrys Treasure Den includes all sort of such as potential treasure sites, individual correspondence from people seeking help looking for treasure such as the guy who found an iron door and a bucket of gold coins personal hand written notes and research, official placer maps of the Yukon, a binder of the Treasure Hunter Confidential publications reprint of out of print books , newspaper clippings, odd ball stuff like dealer inquiries for different things he wanted to dabble in lots to unpack in the files much of it is NY state based but not all of it. What you wont find is an “x” marks the spot for a lost treasure. This was research of sites and its old he’s been out of business now for 20 plus years the stuff may have been accurate 30 years ago. I make no guarantee any of those sites are still open for permission, but the research is there to sift through and give you a good start, this is a great pile of info for authors and researchers.

price reduction to 7000 shipped. the photos don't do this justice. there are two bankers boxes of research and other tidbits of information. one could sell of the high dollar books and recoup most of the investment right there. this is great for historians and authors as well and treasure hunters. the next price reduction will not include shipping. i can even deliver it anywhere within 500 miles of Ralegh NC.

Where were you from in NY sir ?
 
My guess is the collection is still unsold.
If you take itemized deductions, you may wish to consider donating the collection to a 501 (c) 3 company; maybe even a treasure hunting club with the '501' designation.
Another thought is to donate the collection to a library--if they would take it.
Good luck,

Interesting ok im from Rome.
Nice, just a short jaunt up Rt 46. I spent a lot of time in the 80s at Colemans catching live shows. of course, we went to Ft. Stanwix several times over the years one of my favorite spots as a kid. It really gave me the itch at a young age for the colonial history of our nation. My Jr. High history teacher was a Revolutionary War reenactor, so we got some behind the scenes views of Stanwix back then.

Yea i got some advice form a person who deals in treasure books. i don't need the money and the write off is a PITA so I'll just piece meal it on Ebay or Abe books. when i get around to it. plus I found a cache site potential in the files i need to check out Jerry never got to that one so i need to really scour the files for gems like that.

I remember going to Colemans Rd house. Yes my mom was a history buff , she would secure old photographs , put a big book in the Rome Library of the Delta Dam construction. Told me when I was a kid there's payroll stashed by a big boulder along Rt 46. My dad ran the fish hatchery. Now I live near Chaumont Bay and I am fascinated with the history here. I saw the pic of the history of oneida County. I have a version and 15 totes of mom's history and genealogy to sort out.
