A Real-Life Indiana Jones.......

If Howard Jennings wasn't George Lucas's inspiration for the Indiana Jones movies, he very well could've been. This book documented by one of his treasure hunting cronies gives novelistic descriptions of everything from found pirate hoards to emerald gems discovered in South America by Jennings. Seems both the author and this modern-day swashbuckler were also first-rate ladies men throughout their years of treasure hunting adventures together which adds even more spice to the true tales. Danger, intrigue and adventure are the key elements of this book whether you're a treasure hunting couch potato or a serious treasure hunter yourself. Practical advice abounds and the book even closes with some known and not so well known sites for aspirants to follow the leads of. While this book is out of print, the good news is that several cheap copies are available online at places like abebooks.com. Discover for yourself why this book is a treasure all on its own!

I would like to meet MR Jennings

I found this book very interesting. As a small boy in the late '70's met and befriended Mrs. Jennings who as a person, and with stories of her and her husbands adventures, had a great impact on my childhood on Roatan. I personnally have a strong connection to the stories, I am sure I would find it interesting if I did not.

I personally have a strong connection to the stories. However, I am sure I would find it interesting if I did not. Mr. Moore is lucky to have been able to participate in these adventures.
