This book contains more than 95 stories of Lost Mines and Treasurers, in Oregon and Washington. Many of the stories concern treasurers buried by the French and Spanish explorers, Indians, bandits and early settlers during the many incidents and conflicts that rocked the area in the 17th through the early 20th centuries. I found the data for this book while doing research on old mines for my series of books Mines of the American West, which is often referred to as a source in this series. The "Lost Mines and Treasurers" were identified from articles in early American newspapers and other sources considered reliable. Where possible, for those lost treasures still to be found, I have tried to tie them to modern mines or areas and include some background data on such areas. In doing this, some of them seemed to "fall short" in the area of fact and logic, which I may point out. The reader should understand that this is a collection of data from old and new publications and not a focused specifically on the effort to find the specific properties, although some research, especially from a logic standpoint, has been done. If the reader can glean critical information from these original articles and the limited research that allows or helps him or her to locate a "lost mine" or "lost treasure", I wish him or her well and leave it to them to reap the rewards.The print version of this book has been produced in the 81⁄2" X 11" format to keep the price low. If done in 6" X 9" or smaller, the book would be 2 or 3 times as many pages in length and would cost substantially more to increased "on demand" print costs. These seem to be heavily influenced by the total number of pages. While this may be one of the seeming drawbacks to "on-demand printing" - the benefit of "on-demand printing" is that specialty books, such as this, are now practical to publish where the target market may be relatively small and minimal returns to the author are acceptable.It should also be noted that I may periodically update and revise the electronic version before creating a Second Edition. The guidelines for submissions for the electronic versions allow updates, without producing a full new edition, while the "print on demand" or hard copy paperback version does not and require that a full new edition to be developed to incorporate any changes. As such, the two books may not be exactly the same, as it is likely the electronic version will be updated more frequently than the paperback.

The famous legend of the Iron Door Mine, a forgotten mission and a lost city somewhere in the Santa Catalina Mountains, north of Tucson, Arizona, has lured prospectors and treasure hunters for hundreds of years. The discoveries of early Spanish placer mining sites, stone ruins, and stories of the mountains only fueled speculation about the riches still left behind. Common knowledge among the locals eventually gained legendary status. Even more surprising was the abundance in gold, silver, and copper etched into the mountains. These stories became embedded in Arizona’s early history and were spun into some sensational legends and featured in numerous literary and film adventures. "Treasures of the Santa Catalina Mountains" explores the legends and history of the Catalinas, compiled from out-of-print books, magazines, newspapers and recollections from local prospectors. More than 430 pages and over 1,200 references.

Hey, podnah! Do you like adventure? If you cannot go yourself, reading wonderful tales of treasure lost is the next best thing!! The subject is lost gold mines and buried treasures of your state and all the other states in the United States. One separate book for each state. These fine volumes do not just contain true stories. They also contain half a dozen or so (HOW TO) chapters! Basic, very interesting and useful. They are the most complete treasure hunting manuals on the market that I have seen. The chapters are as follows. The lost art of reading ancient Spanish mining and treasure symbols. Exiting new information on stone markers and monuments that lead to treasure. Where to find gold in rivers and streams. Information on the little known skill of dowsing for treasure and minerals. Excellent diagrams of real Spanish death traps that were pulled from ancient manuscripts. The IRS treasure trove laws. Antiquities laws. These are real man sized books!! Eight and a half by eleven. They even have extra pages to use for notes when out in the field.

Tales of Oregon's lost wealth isn't all gold mines and prospectors, it's also stories of crime, greed; and occasionally murder. From the Lost Blue Bucket Mine to a hidden cave in the Owyhee Breaks, rumors of treasures just waiting to be found span the state. A generous miner from Yreka, California, known only as Set em Up spurred a decades long search for gold in Southern Oregon and the discovery of Crater Lake. Six sacks of gold buried and lost by Benjamin Harrison added to the fervor. There have been lucky finds, too, like Samuel L. Simpson's discovery of the Lost Cabin Vault. Join author Arthur H. Redman as he maps out tales of buried treasure across the great state of Oregon.

This book contains over 90 stories of Lost Mines and Treasurers, in Southern California (composed of the Counties of Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura). Many of the stories concern treasurers buried by the Priests, the Spanish, Indians, bandits and Colonial settlers during the many incidents and wars that rocked the area in the 16th through the early 20th centuries. I found the data for this book while doing research on old mines for my series of books Mines of the American West. The "Lost Mines and Treasurers" were identified from articles in early American newspapers and other sources considered reliable.

While this may be one of the seeming drawbacks to "on-demand printing" - the benefit of "on-demand printing" is that specialty books, such as this, are now practical to publish where the target market may be relatively small and minimal returns to the author are acceptable.Due to the number of stories I found for the State of California, the stories have been split into three books, Southern California, Central California and Northern California. This was done to keep the cost of the book under $10.00 and to keep the book small enough so that if it were produced in a smaller page size, such as the more common 6" X 9" or smaller, or as a "pocket book", the number of pages would still be manageable. It should also be noted that I may periodically update and revise the electronic version before creating a Fourth Edition. The guidelines for submissions for the electronic versions allow updates, without producing a full new edition, while the "print on demand" or hard copy paperback version does not and require that a full new edition to be developed to incorporate any changes. As such, the two books may not be exactly the same, as it is likely the electronic version will be updated more frequently than the paperback.

THE LOST TREASURES OF MONTANA, Gold West Country-Vol. 2 Author, Peter Netzel The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region. The series is based on over twenty years of researching old treasure legends. This book contains details of locations of buried caches and lost treasures in Gold West Country, Montana. Counties covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana-GOLD WEST COUNTRY, Volume 2 are Broadwater County, Deer Lodge County, Jefferson County, Lewis and Clark County, Powell County, and Silver Bow County. Even though some regions have more lost treasures than others, all of The Treasure State's regions have an interesting history and intriguing stories of the characters who lived in the gold rush days of the Old West. Montana's state capitol, Helena, is located in this region. Helena was the site of one of the richest gold strikes in U.S. History, at Last Chance Gulch, in July of 1864. About 67 miles southwest of Helena, is Butte, another former boom town. Butte began as nothing more than a group of gold mining camps back in the early 1870's. Then, silver and copper were discovered. These discoveries brought in a flood of people and new companies to Butte. By the late 1870's, a large and bustling city had been born. While silver and gold were actively mined in Butte, it was copper that truly put Butte on the map. The stories take you back to the time of the Wild West and its gold rush days. You will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot, how they did it, and where it may have ended up. Most of the stories include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the book. Along with the many maps included, are rich details of the colorful history that paint a vivid word portrait of the history that took place in this section of Montana in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes. Author, Peter Netzel, explains - "I have been researching old treasure legends for twenty years and have been successful in pinning down the locations of most of the lost treasures in this region on topographic maps. I include these detailed maps with the stories in this series. In addition to pinpointing actual locations, I have even found a few lost treasures never before presented in books!" Portions of the Gold West Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated. There were other outlaws active in Gold West Country in the 1800's and early 1900's also. The most common and repeated crimes involved cattle rustling; horse stealing; and robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. During the short reign of terror by Plummer and his road agents, it is believed that they hid much of their loot. (Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling!) Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer and other outlaws are said to lay in this region. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaws hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some may be doubtful, and some accounts seem to hold water. It is up to you, the reader, to come to your own conclusions. No matter what you decide, you will find the history of the Montana's Gold West Country interesting and entertaining. You do not have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy this book series. In the Lost Treasures of Montana series, you will even find a few lost treasures never before presented in books!
