T. Tracer provides real anecdotes from the field while suggesting ways to find your own treasure using systematic Themes and the development of your own personal Eye. Themes help sort the real from the merely imaginary, and the Eye guides you in the field to find what others have walked right past, sometimes for centuries T. Tracer has found gold, silver, and other treasures in various places in the desert Southwest, and has benefited from the accumulated wisdom of a number of real-life, experienced treasure hunters. Other books address treasure stories and legends like lost mines and gold caches with only words, and yet others categorize treasure signs and symbols with mostly handwritten cartoon-like examples. This book is unique in that it features many original pictures from the field, and focuses in very specific ways on research methods that you can use NOW to get out there and find your own treasure. Likely, you may have walked right past clues just sitting there, waiting to guide you along a chain of exploration to an ultimate discovery of a treasure unique to you. Examples of field activity are featured at the end of this "First Fifth," showcasing things like the El Chato and Doc Noss stories centered in the Caballo Mountains of New Mexico, unnamed but excellent examples of real discovered treasure signs, and real, tangible things like the discovery of a 50 lb nugget of pure Galena-silver just waiting next to a mine for 100 years, found with the developed Eye. The hope is that this book will help many others find their own personal treasure. Who knows, you might just gain the edge to solve one of the well-known, age-old stories, or even better yet, solve one unknown to others that you yourself get to name
