My Find of The Day

[PatrickD]

Hi Everyone,

I have been reorganizing my library. Look what I found in a book my father got from Dean Miller (aka Karl von Mueller.) It's an old postcard.





Cool huh.

Um, you do know that Dean Miller is the real name behind the pen name Karl von Mueller.

Back in the 1960's and early 70's, the name Karl Von Mueller cropped up a lot in treasure hunting books and magazines.

Yes, He was a friend of my father's. I met him a few times when I was about 8 or 9. Wow, that was 40 years ago.

You should get them. I saw TH Manual # 7 on ebay several times in the $100 to $150 range.

 

[PatrickD]

I think the most valuable of his books is a pamphlet titled 'Treasure of the Valley of Secrets."

Here it is on Amazon for $199.00

Treasure of the Valley of Secrets: Deek Gladson: Amazon.com: Books

That is not a bad return considering the original sales price on the cover is $3.00

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

haha...Guess someone wanted them

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

I missed it

 

[PatrickD]

Probably someone read your post. I looked at it but already have all of them.
