	B163 True Stories of Sunken Treasure For years Ernie "Seascribe" Richards and I were editor/publisher of Treasure Quest Magazine, a magazine aimed at the salvage community... and every armchair treasure hunter across the country. Ernie and I had been involved in writing several books on treasure hunting, and with decent success in the sales department, but the months it took to take a book from the written page to a printed book was a path lined with headaches and late night sessions. Treasure Quest, on the other hand, was compiled of many short, action filled stories that seemed as easy to write as breathing the Florida air full of sunshine. The magazine was an instant hit with salvage divers and armchair enthusiast alike, and suggestions flooded our office that we compile the stories into a book. from dreams to fruition, that is "True Stories of Sunken Treasure," along with a few stories that have never been printed. As long as salvage divers work the ballast piles of sunken galleons, there will always be "another story to tell." That's what dreams are made of. $20.00 Soft bound.

	B-134 - Treasure Of The Atocha by R. Duncan Mathewson III Treasure of the Atocha is a true adventure, a mystery that unfolds over sixteen years, and the story of a treasure hunt that yielded millions in gols, silver, jewelry, and precious stones. It is the exciting story of the search and discovery of what is proving to be the most fabulous treasure wreck of all time-Nuestra Senora de Atocha. Lost in a hurricane more than 350 years ago, the treasure galleon was hidden under a protective blanket of sand in only fifty-four feet of water a few miles from Key West, Florida. Until 1985 just traces of the wreck came into view. For years the divers pieced together the jigsaw puzzle that slowly revealed the "motherlode" the bulk of precious cargo. The ship is yielding delicate jewelry, gold and silver coins- fresh from the mints of Mexico and Potosi- and over a thousand silver ingots. The treasure is estimated to be worth some $400 million. But more than gold and silver is being discovered. R. Duncan Mathewson III, the Archaeological Director of Mel Fisher's Treasure Salvors, Inc., has applied land based archaeological techniques to this underwater "dig" to reveal new details about seventeenth-century Spanish colonial life in the New World. The recovery of the common objects of everyday life is proving to be as exciting as the recovery of the treasure itself. The remains of the ship's hull, the religious artifacts, the weaponry, the cooking utensils, and the most private personal possessions of the crew are all helping to rewrite the history of the period.
