A story titled, "Treasure of Saddle-Tree Gap" from my CD Book, "Tales of Treasure" will be published in the October edition of "Lost Treasure" magazine.
That makes about nine of the fourteen stories now being published, four this year. I have several more to write when things slow down this winter. Thanks to all for the encouragement.

I just received message today, another of my stories from the CD Book, "Tales of Treasure" will be in the November Issue of "Lost Treasure" magazine. The story called "$14 Billion in White Gold" is about an old prospector settling in southeastern Alabama. He is able to extract white gold from the huge amounts of sand in that area, by his estimates there would be today over $14 Billion in yellow gold but the prospectors mentions nothing but white gold so that $14 Billion estimate is enormously low. Check these stories out. This makes ten of the fourteen stories being published and the fifth this year. All of these stories are in my CD Book, "Tales of Treasure" on sale at my website www.hunteroflosttreasures.com Thanks. A couple of the remaining stories that have not been published yet, I really enjoy reading them over and over. One of them is "Virginia's Mummy" and "Cornwallis in North Carolina or Cornwallis' Cupboard" Maybe they will publish them next year. "Virginia's Mummy" should be published for Halloween it is really a spooky story and is a real and verifiable story.

Great story Albert! They sure did give you plenty of writing space in Lost Treasure Magazine didn't they? If these stories weren't put in print they would soon be lost forever. They will go into the Lost Treasure Archives for future generations to read, Thanks.

Thanks kydave! I wrote that story back in 1990. It was printed one time in a west coast magazine called "Treasure Found" The company went bankrupt, I took payment in subscriptions. I had four years with three different magazines but I never received them nor any payment. That is why I rewrote the story and changed the name from "Tell us Your Story" to "Treasure of Saddle-Tree Gap"
You do recognize that part of the story "Saddle-Tree Gap" don't you? You know the Jonathan Swift Treasure story had a gap similar in it's story. I remember one treasure hunter tried locating all the places with a saddle gap.
Also, the story involved a Civil War Payroll. Buck Lester recovered the Chapmansville Yankee Payroll and reburied it near his cabin on PeaPatch which is on StateLine Ridge. And is the head of a creek that has three forks, just like in Swift's Journal.
Well, don't let me get gabby. I sure am glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks. I hope I can get caught up and make a trip back to Kentucky--------Beautiful Country, must be where God finished creating the Earth and put everything He had left there with a smile. See you later.

They will go into the Lost Treasure Archives for future generations to read, Thanks. kydave, I received payment today from "Lost Treasure Magazine" for my story, "Treasure of Saddle-Tree Gap" You read this story back in August. They put their own photos with the story, so I don't get paid for them. It isn't much, but as some would say better than nothing. $75.68
