there a child who has not yearned, at some time or another, to find buried
treasure? In his latest work of improbable nonfiction...James Deem provides
a complete guidebook for would-be treasure trackers. In general, historical
anecdotes alternate with practical advice about the laws of treasure trove,
the importance of getting written permission before digging up someone's
property, etc. Deem also stresses that treasure is in the eye of the
beholder: Buttons, toys, household implements, and other artifacts can be
both valuable and historically important."

writing style is relaxed, and the cartoons are funny. Best of all, he gives
you confidence that you too can find a treasure!"
