A treasure hunter’s guide points to hidden Spanish riches

Monday, 27 Apr, 2007 0

Turtles Lead to Treasure by Calvin C. Keys, is an in-depth guide to locating buried treasure by learning how to decipher the symbols on ancient Spanish monuments.

Think of buried treasure and most people imagine pirate ships sunk at sea, but America is actually home to many hidden caches of gold left behind by Spaniards. Now, in the illustrated manual, Turtles Lead to Treasure, treasure expert Calvin C. Keys shows readers how to cash in.

In clear, conversational prose, Keys explains how much of the Spanish treasure was hidden within feet of special monuments, which were actually markers for the hidden gold. He explores different treasure hunting locations and procedures, and shows how to decode the symbols on the monuments.

Author Keys grew up loving stories about hidden treasures. In 1983, he began researching different types of treasure and discovered that the Spanish hid gold from their mines, and used an elaborate system of monuments and symbols as a map to refind it. One of the few books about Spanish monuments and symbols, Turtles Lead to Treasure also includes a wealth of never-before-published photographs.

Spanish riches are there for the taking, suggests Keys. This informative guide can set any reader on the road to wealth—and provide them with hours of fun doing it.
