Bought it. Sounds right up my alley. Starting it now.

I bought a stack of local history books at auction and I'm working my way through this one, published in 1959. It's cool enough on it's own, but I found someone else's treasure map notes inside!

Also, this book was published only 3 years before I was born but it's publication date is closer to some of the 1800's mining and exploration it describes than it is to today. Good grief I'm old.

I always try to buy used books instead of new, via Amazon and elsewhere. One never knows what will be found tucked away or written in a book, especially older books.
