Living the Treasure Island life!

Here are the real life stories of those daring few who risked everything, and sometimes suffered greatly, searching for the fabled sunken treasures from centuries ago. Read how gold fever consumed these treasure hunters, driving them into amazing perils and through many years with little to show for their efforts. Read also how they eventually hit it BIG! A great mix of gripping adventure telling, technical explanations, and historical fact. Lots of great photos, too. A word of caution, though: you'll find yourself packing for Florida when you hear about tales of treasure that still wash up on its shores, even to this day!
