Spring has sprung and I'm gonna be busy for the next few months so will post a final booklist to get you people going. Since folks seem to love to accuse people of being self serving or promoting their own items I now call on Arkansas Bill? and Popeye to come forward and call me a LIAR if any of the books I've listed were written by me. They both know the title of my main book and have some knowledge of the others.? If you have read most of the books in Treasure Hunting 101 and Treasure Hunting 201 you can consider this list as grad school for your masters. Treasure Hunting 401 will be nothing but some hard won facts then after that we'll open the floor to the visiting professors emeritus and anyone who thinks they have something to add. Obtain and read these books in any order you can find them. I strongly recommend that you try to get them through interlibrary loan first. Nothing hurts worse than paying $50 or more for a book that you don't think is worth the money. If you want your own copy after you have read the books then go for it.
? ?WPA GUIDE TO YOUR STATE - printed in the 1930s and 1940s in an effort by the feds to keep writers from starving to death during the depression. They were sent from state to state to write histories and travel guides. They are very rare and often can not be checked out of the library. Many treasures have been found by checking the places mentioned here. The modern reprints of these books are good to have and worth the money. The modern updated and revised new and improved copies are worthless crap and not worth reading much less buying.
? ?THOMAS P. TERRY TREASURE GUIDE SERIES - GET THE VOLUME FOR YOUR STATE -
I use this information for negative research. Each story I find I seek to see if it is already known or published. If it is then I will only look for it if I obtain new or different information than was published. The known stories that were true have either already been found or the story has placed them in the wrong spot. Terry will also tell you about many ghost towns. He says that any town that no longer has a post office is a ghost town. One close to my home is where I go to buy gas, snacks and lottery tickets. Pretty lively place for a ghost. Must be 500 people living there.
? ? TREASURE GUIDE SERIES? -THOMAS PENFIELD, MICHAEL PAUL HENSON & H. GLENN CARSON
I use these the same way as I use the TERRY books. You should try to own the one for your state. To reiterate, let me make one thing perfectly clear. If you get new information to a known treasure that puts you in the drivers seat. You DO want to pursue it then. Hopefully to a successful conclusion but at least for as long as you have a chance of recovery.
? ? W.C. JAMESON TREASURE BOOKS - various titles - Get the one from your area and use them like you use the books listed above.
? ?THE SECRET LIFE OF MONEY - TEACHING TALES OF SPENDING , RECIEVING, SAVING AND OWING BY TAD CRAWFORD (1994) - You need to read this book for insights into the why of treasures being planted BUT I don't see any need for you to own it. You will also learn the types of people who are compelled to hide money. The book is priced higher than it's worth and I would try to get it through interlibrary loan only.
? ? Here is a three bagger for you. TAX TREASURE HUNTING BY ROBERT C. CARLSON, CPA (1994)
This is basically a free teaser to get you to subscribe to a magazine called TAX WISE. Multiple listings for a dollar and up plus shipping. If you do subscribe they will give you a copy of the book TAX TREASURES by ROBERT C. CARLSON, CPA. The guarantee from the TAX WISE magazine is that you will save at least a thousand bucks each year on your taxes or the magazine is free. Do you think you could afford a new SUPER GIZMO METAL DETECTOR WITH AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE if you had a spare thousand? He also teaches you how to file amended returns going back three years to make some quick tax free money from the feds and the state.?
? ? Finally this is for those folks who would like to kiss the rat race goodby and spend all their time working for themselves and free to treasure hunt every day. GOT YOUR ATTENTION? These? books are OWLHOOTERS MANUAL I AND OWLHOOTERS MANUAL II BY DEEK GLADSON. They feature the true stories of people like you who lost their jobs and hit the road. The survivors among them flourished. If they can do it from scratch with nothing we can do it starting in our spare time. These are Exanimo Press publications and the extraneous garbage is not there. They average about 50 pages or less each and originally sold for $5 or less each. They've hit the after market now and you can expect to pay $10-20 each plus shipping now. Borrow if you can but once you do you will want your own copies.
? ?These are not every helpful book that's out there but they are all that I intend to publicize. I had my own reasons for doing this and also for doing the TREASURE LEADS - SINCE YOU ASKED posts. None of you owe me a thing. I would hope that some of you will try to help others and keep them out of trouble. We don't need the heat caused by TH-ers breaking laws and creating problems. The powers that be can and will make our work harder if they do. Feel free to share this information with anyone BUT if you publish it I'll bust your chops with every nasty legal trick I can think of. exanimo, ss
