A Little
Help From Our Friends
I have a real problem! I've been trying to get how
many degree`s difference north or south from today's magnetic north position
compared to magnetic north position in 1579 and 1791. I've tried the U.S Naval
Observatory but they only go back to 1900. I need this information because I
found a Spanish waybill and it said to go west but west of today is not the west
of yesterday. THANK YOU for any information mikew@jvlnet.com
What I am looking
for is a map that Garrett made in the early 1970's. It is a map of Florida and contains
treasure hunting information from all over the
state. Has items
listed on it such as sunken ships, buried treasure, etc. It is out of print with no hope of
a reprint. I can
be contacted at beachnut@thingforum.com Thanks for your time and quick
reply. Rob
Have you ever unearthed an unusual treasure
only to discover you can't find someone to identify the item or place
a value on it? In each newsletter we'll be
featuring someone who is stumped and needs a little help from his or her
treasure hunting friends. Send your questions to managingeditor@losttreasure.com
Are you up to the Challenge?
"Quest - a zetetic Treasure Hunt" is a
self-contained Treasure Hunt in a book. The book is full of cryptic clues
and drawings that when solved reveal the whereabouts of a jewelled 18 carat
gold prize worth £30,000. The clues in the book are based around the
history, heritage, landscape, legend and literature of Britain.
The
Treasure Hunt can be solved from the comfort of your own home as,
unlike many other hunts, the prize is not actually buried. The £30,000
gold prize is being held for safe-keeping until such time that the winning
treasure hunter submits the correct entry as to its "virtual"
whereabouts.
Are you up to the Quest? Visit www.seniority.co.uk to find
out.
Have you found a treasure you
would like to share with the world? Email a brief description of the item, along
with the general location (city and state) where it was unearthed, and a photo
to managingeditor@losttreasure.com. We’ll feature your
item in our next newsletter.

Latest
Equipment for the Treasure Hunter
New Italian Detector
on the Market
Distribution of the
new Grifon metal detectors has begun, according to a release sent earlier in the
month by the manufacturer. "Grifon metal detectors are the best functioning
performer at the most reasonable prices on the market," the release said. For
more information, log on to the Grifon website at: http://www.grifonproduct.com/
Tip of the Week
Most clubs have a find of the
month contest and give out prizes accordingly. If you attend meetings regularly,
enter items as often as possible. Do this even if you don't have the most
spectatular coin, piece of jewelry or relic to enter. You never know what other
people will like and what they will enter. You just may get lucky with a common
coin or other item if there are not a lot of items entered that particular
month. Also, if you enter regularly, the points add up at the end of the year.
By entering all the time, you have something to shoot for at the end of the
year. Try setting yourself a goal of say 100 points per year and see what
happens. The fact that you set a goal may get you out hunting more and force you
to look for certain targets if you need something to enter for a particular
category. This also gets you more involved with your club.
Thanks to the Colonial
Treasure Hunter's Association for this tip of the week.

Win A
Detector
Of
the thousands of people who entered sweepstakes last month, the following was
the lucky winner: Al Fegely
of Little Falls, N.J. He won a Fisher Gold Strike metal
detector.
Featured Story: Ankle Deep in Nuggets
Taken from page 64 of Treasure Cache
1998
The weather was so miserable and visibility so poor
that he had to pack his camp with him wherever he went to keep from becoming
separated from it. For weeks on end he climbed up one steep slope laden with
heavy timber and wet underbrush and down the other — a grueling endeavor. Then
one day without warning he slid down the wall of a steep canyon right into a
stream littered with gold nuggets — gold such as he had never seen — “ankle-deep
gold.”
