The stories related here are of places where gold, silver and jewels from various sources and by diverse means reputedly have been lost to the land and sea, the people who may have buried treasure, and those, past and present, who have engaged in the search. From the lonely Atlantic Blonde Rock off Seal Island and the Fundy outpost of Isle Haute, to the better-known islands of Sable and St. Paul, Crooker details the mystery, legends, and lore of their spine-tingling tales of treasure. William Crooker, a professional engineer, whose fascination with Nova Scotia's hidden treasures, has made him the foremost expert on the great Nova Scotia treasure hunt.
