About the Author: Glenn Carson speaks... Our Waybill To Adventure site is here to help those who hope to hunt for treasure. None of our books have an X drawn on a crude map! Our books are there to motivate those capable and willing to seek out the clues that will allow them to ferret out the sites where relics, old coins, and other valuables may still lie hidden. Using a detector is fun! These days it can not only be fun, it can be a large part of building your retirement fund! Silver has risen in price lately to 36-38 cents per troy ounce. That beat up silver dime is now worth the better part of $4.00. Gold... should you find a $20.00 gold piece, it is worth $1700 or more. If you do some homework, locate a good hunting site, and recover the bag once lost by a fugitive from a Civil War skirmish, that would be a fine accomplishment! If that bag contains $100 in small gold coins, you'd have more than a fine, fun day. That bag has $8510 or more in it. That sort of money adds to a person's retirement fund. Waybill To Adventure's books have been put together to help those who would like to take advantage of such opportunities! Each of these books will help motivate a treasure seeker, and enable them to maximize their efforts. We have spent years into building this impressive list of books. We have made all of them as presentable as possible. We truly hope that our efforts will allow you to find old relics, many silver and gold coins... and a new, adventurous path, which is the best part of it! Your partner in grime: -) Glenn === A short word from Leanne... What's left to be said after Dad talks? Well, I guess I will throw in a bit of bio. I grew up on this stuff. I paid the lunch lady with dirty coins found in the parks of Boulder, Colorado. We 5 kids earned a real reputation for "dirty money"! So I grew up and as an adult, was involved in every aspect of my parents' publishing house. From writing to illustration to maps. And I think I may have been the one to "lick the bindings"! I have been on the computer since 1989 and am at a quite advanced level... and, am still illustrating, mapping, and writing! Our line of books - my solo effort - is taking on a whole new dimension, roughly doubling in size for each book. We are proud, proud of these books! If you have comments or questions, we will have a blog here on Amazon, as well as links to our sites. Contact me! Leanne The ornery, persistent daughter
