My mom was born in 44.. but her Dad was everywhere excavating. I have pictures of jobs and my grandfather is around 7 on the job site with his Dad in 1908ish.

I think you should contact the whyda museum....they may have experts who can help you. You might have to drive the stones to them to examine. Just a suggestion of someone in the field of expertise your looking for thats close by. If I was close I would dive right in and try to help you...what a cool treasure hunt !!

2 and a half hours away... Might be worth the trip. I didn't see his name on the big rock. I had a friend in CT. Who was always talking about pirates. I guess he was right. Lol

I'll read all I've got on Marleen and see if I can find anything useful.

I saw an antique appraiser for some other stuff the other day, I showed her a pic of rock and her interest peaked mine. Sorry if I'm babbling but its exciting. I just tried reading the big one. Not that easy to read a rock...

There a book called "buccaneers of america" it's fantastic and David Marleen was a major swashbuckling pirate.....his exploits are legendary.

Thank you. I looked on you tube for him but didn't find anything

Hi, I wanted to ask you about a rock I have. It has a story written all over it. My grandparents gave it to me, I tried reading it this morning and it has David Marteens name on it. I am intrigued.

Thank you,
Ms.K

It certainly intrigues me. There were supposed to be some printed stones that Anthoney Riches found, but as he aged and m.oved quite a bit, he discarded some. I wouldn't mind seeing a picture, but you'd be better messaging me, I'll get an alert. Otherwise I'm only on here maybe once or twice a week

Oh, I didn't go back far enough on the thread. That stone looks as described in the material I started with. Although I know where the treasure is, that stone goes a long way to validating my find. The problem is getting it out. That really is a fantastic find. For me, too. I started working on this in 1990 and had located two sites by 1993. That stone is amazing !

I contacted a museum near me, I am waiting for his reply to see if he interested in seeing it. It's quite a mystery.

You say your Grandfather did a lot of digging at work sites. I'll bet he did some work when they put the railroad through to East Granby .

Possibly, they were everywhere.

These notes were attributed to Anthony Riches who discovered the stones. It was documented several times in the Hartford Courant and the Thompsonville newspapers. I have them all
