Book Description
ABOUT THE AUTHOR This work, True Treasure Stories of the Southwest, is William White’s second publication since his initial work of Tales of the Caballos. From a literary point of view, this new work represents a more sophisticated form of writing that the reader will be sure to enjoy. Without losing his ability to tell a story, William White has filled in the blank spots, while giving the reader a more colorful account of these adventures. While Tales of the Caballos became an underground best seller in New Mexico, this new book spans many states with a variety of stories about treasures, many of which have never been published before. All of the accounts represented in this book are personal experiences from twenty years of treasure hunting by the author. The only thing William White enjoys more than writing about his experiences is to be on the trail of a new treasure. “ I have gone to some amazing places and seen things that I would have never have witnessed had I not been a treasure hunter.” says William White. William White has had modest success treasure hunting and he is still looking for the “Big One”. That elusive catch of gold bars or gemstones is still waiting for him to find and some day I know that he will. In the mean time, the reader will enjoy his experiences and adventures with many inside tips on where to look and where to go to search for treasure. Wayne May, Publisher Ancient American Magazine

Book Description
As Hawk lies on the bottom of the pool paralyzed he realizes the gypsy was right again. How long can he hold his breath before someone notices? Will he be able to pull through this to finish the remaining predictions? Greg Hawk's memoir of a life's adventure takes a drastic turn at the end of a divorce as he listens to a gypsy lady in New Zealand predict things on the path ahead. Every obstacle on his path in life has put him on another tangent of learning and struggle, at times driving him to the edge of defeat. During these years, death seemed to be a constant companion as he witnessed it, as well as facing it personally. As a soldier, a husband, a divorcee, a partner of a successful construction business in Denver, owner of Fantasy Dive Charters in Australia, to being a treasure hunter in the mountains and desert of the Southwest, he faced many self-imposed challenges." Random Tangents is a celebration of a life well-lived, of obstacles overcome, of the triumph of spirit. And let's face it, sometimes a little luck."

Book Description
Written in 1930, Coronado's Children was one of J. Frank Dobie's first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado. "These people," Dobie writes in his introduction, "no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado's inheritors.... l have called them Coronado's children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load... " This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses.
