W.C. Jameson was an active treasure hunter for more than fifty years. He has fallen from cliffs, had ropes break during climbs, been caught in mine shaft cave-ins, contended with flash floods, been shot at, watched men die, and had to deal with rattlesnakes, water moccasins, scorpions, and poisonous centipedes. He has fled for his life from park rangers, policemen, landowners, competitors, corporate mercenaries, and drug runners. He has also discovered enough treasure to pay for his own house and finance his and his children's education. With his enigmatic treasure-hunter partners, Slade, Stanley, and Poet, Jameson's stories are worthy of an Indiana Jones film-except that they are all true.… (mere)

I typically enjoy adventure stories, however this one had some credibility issues. ( )

A very readable, but unbelievable collection of stories about treasures found and somehow never recovered. I had recurring credibility concerns reading the stories, which feel more like tall tales than true memoir. ( )

Boy, I really wanted to like this book. I'm a fan of adventure films and treasure hunters, but this one just didn't do it for me.

For lack of a better term, the writing was a bit cheesy for me. It came across amateurish in some cases and overly braggadocious on others (sometimes both at once).

I felt like I was reading tall tales from an old alpha male what wanted all the young guys to know how tough he really was. If I had to read about everything he did was illegal or dangerous another time, I was going to do something dangerous to myself.

To be honest, I only finished the book out of loyalty to LibraryThing for giving me a review copy. Otherwise, I probably would not have made it past the first couple of chapters. ( )

Twitter review: Find old treasure map, research veracity, add unnamed colleagues, go unnamed location in American West or Mexico, trek through desert, meet many hardships but always rattlesnakes, bring back small sample of treasure, lament that conditions did not allow you to return for rest, reiterate to self you are not in it for the money. Repeat 15 more times. ( )

Who hasn't always wanted to stumble over the pirate's treasure, the bandit's bank sack, the dragon's hoard? W. C. Jameson has spent his life doing just that. This is his memoir of a life spent treasure hunting. Well written and enthralling you may take a few moments to question his complete veracity, but who cares? What fun! His was a life filled with adventure that the rest of us can only envy. ( )
