Karl von Mueller was a mystery man. His real name was Dean Miller. He sometimes wrote as Deek Gladson. But he mostly called himself Karl.

He began his treasure hunting career in the 1920s, and he was still active well into the 1980s.

Some of his books sell for several hundred dollars nowadays.

This show discusses Karl and gives you some insights from one of his hard-to-find treasure books.

Little personal information is available on Karl, and if you have something to add, please click the Comments button on the blogpage and let us hear from you.

Karl did all his own research work. He interviewed older people and relatives about his stories. He also printed his own books in his shop. His last work will never be seen because his shop was burned down by a TH who thought he was giving away to much information. Frank

A quick update to my podcast on Karl von Mueller - one of my listeners found Karl (as Dean) in the Social Security death list.

He was born Feb 3, 1915, and he died Jan 27, 1990 - one week shy of his 75th birthday.
