BURIED TREASURES OF CALIFORNIA - $14.95
By WC Jameson After reading these 30 revived tales of wealth and splendor, readers will be tempted to throw some supplies into a backpack like the forty-niners of yore. Although stories of lost gold and silver veins are abundant (“Mysterious Blue Ledge of Gold”, “The Curse of the Mormon Silver Ledge”), they in no way represent all of the wealth hidden in California’s geography and folklore. Does Death Valley hold more than sand and arid deserts; is it also the “Canyon of Lost Gold” and site of the “Golden Gravels of Goler Wash”? Is the long California coastline covering secrets (“Gold in the Sand”) and hidden riches (“Lost North Beach Million”, “Five Hundred Pound Silver Ingot”)? Are sprawling metropolises now covering priceless artifacts of an emperor (“The Hollywood Bowl Treasure”)
