Ridge Runner Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I bought this book years ago from Kellyco and it looks he had written several books. This is the only one I’ve ever own. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronDigger Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Think he was the editor of some Treasure magazine...think I have a bunch stored in some boxes. Makes great reading, amazing the stuff they found back in the early days of metal detecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you getting him confused with 'Long John Latham' who published True Treasure and Treasure World? I subscribed to those back in the 1970's. Their stories were intoxicating, and some were even true. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think that I still have some True Treasure and Treasure World. I’m devastated that it was said that some of Long John’s stories may not be true. Him and Mel Fisher was my hero’s . I always went by Mel’s motto and that was . How many of you know it ? haha I don’t know about you but each time I go out I take a positive attitude that the day is the day I find that Treasure. I never put a size on Treasure . It’s been lots of time I’ve come home with nothing but the pleasure of out there detecting. Treasure hunting is like fishing in its not the one you found but the big one you didn’t find .

If you're referring to my (not so?) subtle comment, my point wasn't that they were fiction, it's just that most 'true' treasure stories are based upon fact but the details get twisted over the years with anecdotal additions. Those magazines kept me riveted from the day they arrived in my mailbox until I had them thoroughly devoured. And the ads kept me salivating over all the detectors I couldn't afford.
