I have thought about writing a story or two myself and was thinking the other day, i should get written permission from the landowner before i send a thousand treasure hunters to his house wanting to hunt! People are different, some wouldn't care if they got a share of the loot and some wouldn't want to be bothered thinking if anything was ever there it's long gone anyway! I always noticed Paul Hensons storys at the end he would always say the landowner will give permission to hunt and usually gave directions to the site. Or you need to contact the landowner before hunting.

No don't think it's online yet, mine comes in the mail and always runs a month or two ahead for some reason. On the cover it says "Fort Knox of the Confederacy" and your story is on page 59. Whats that big rock with all the graffitti drawing on it?

Outstanding story about Pinckneyville that you wrote for the April issue of Lost Treasure magazine Albert! Must have taken a tremendous amount of research. I do believe you have found your "Callin"! Thanks for the info!

Yep the have some high tek instruments out there. I have seen the ads for the 15 to 20 thousand dollar stuff but it's whatever one can afford i guess or how sure you are that the treasures there. The shipwrecks would never have been found without the right equipment. All you gotta do is find one treasure to make it worth while!

I bought a Gemini 3 made by Fisher a couple of years ago for less than $500 from KellyCo in Fla. online which i thought was a good deal. I really don't know who has the best but it seems to work well, easy to operate, very lightweight and breaks down making it easy to store and carry thru the woods. But it work on anything smaller than a lunchbox, only a big cache machine. Actually i bought it to look for a Civil War dump at a campground but like you couldn't get permission to get on the property.

They lost a couple of horses at the Forks of Sandy to Indians and buried their packs there, one near the Fork and another in a nearby Rockhouse. I would think these might be a little easier to find i don't know. From what i have read they mention burying most of the prizes about three feet deep, only a deepseeking two box would give a signal that deep, i don't know what type of detector your using. But if your finding carvings you must be getting close, good luck! I have an extra copy of Paul Henson's book if you need one.

How on earth do you have enough memory space in your brain to store as much info as you do?? You remind me a lot of Paul Henson, he was like that! Tell him where you live and he would hand you right back a treasure story about your area!

You might be a "redneck" if you walk up to a treasure hunter using a "metal" detector and ask, Will that thing pick up indian arrow heads? I have had that happen at least six times over the years.
