Buried treasure is everywhere! You will find out just why this is the true when you have read THE REAL BOOK ABOUT TREASURE HUNTING. Wonderful discoveries of treasures have been made in all parts of the world by all kinds of people -- soldiers, adventurers, men and women like those we all know, and even by boys and girls. Some people went to faraway places to seek; others stumbled upon them right at home, quite by accident. Who knows? Someday you may find a treasure, too?

In this book you will read exciting tales about Captain Kidd, the famous pirate; the discovery of the world's largest diamond; the California gold rush; and the fabulous treasures of ancient kings that are still waiting to be uncovered.

But these are not the only kinds of treasures. Did you ever stop to think that you own attic may be full of wonderful surprises? Collections of antiques, coins or stamps, rocks or shells, are treasures, too, by the value you and others place upon them. Here you will find many suggestions on how to begin collecting and searching.

THE REAL BOOK ABOUT TREASURE HUNTING will help you look for your treasure!
