Handbook for treasure hunters R.Ostler

Around 70,000 people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have dedicated themselves to treasure hunting. The "Handbook for Treasure Hunters" gives them tips that can be very valuable in the truest sense of the word.

The good news first: there are incredible treasures scattered around the globe - in Germany alone there are said to be 32,000 hundredweights of gold, silver and jewellery. German, Austrian and Swiss hunters for lost treasures can now find lots of useful information on how to find treasure in the "Handbook for Treasure Hunters". Beginners to treasure hunting will benefit from the tips given in this book, as will professional treasure hunters. Author Reinhold Ostler is an absolute specialist in the field of treasure hunting.

The instructions in the book start with the first steps that can lead to finding treasure. Treasure hunters are taught how to use plans and maps, learn how to use available aids such as Google Earth, and are introduced to typical topographical clues to hidden treasures. The author also provides tips on possible treasure trove locations. The "Handbook for Treasure Hunters" gives just as much space to the tools required for treasure hunting as it does to all questions relating to the professional recovery of a found treasure. In a separate chapter, the author addresses legal issues. There are some grey areas when it comes to finding treasure - a good basic knowledge, such as that provided in this book, is therefore the best insurance for the treasure hunter.

In order to illustrate the theory, the author repeatedly talks from the sewing box and explains the theory vividly using examples he has experienced himself.
