by PeterEarle (Author)
In the 18th and 19th centuries, treasure-hunting became a professional occupation. Presenting a story of a national obsession, this work features a history of a peculiarly English phenomenon - of outstanding bravery, of exceptional recklessness, and above all, of dreams of treasure.
