Silver War

New York State has hidden treasure of many kinds. However, in order to locate them, you need to do more research, and you should have a metal detector. First, about that research.

Although this article will start you on your search for lost treasures in New York, it's only the beginning. The stories below have been around for many years, and like many stories, each time a lost treasure story is told, it changes. People who tell the story have a way of manipulating a certain word or paragraphs. Sometimes, just a few small changes in how the story is told, can throw the treasure story way off course from it's original legend. This is why it's critical to research all of the treasure stories you come upon. The more information you have regarding any hidden treasure, the better your chances of locating one.

You should start your research on the Internet. There is so much information on the net that you may not have to look any further for information. If you need or want more information, then try to visit the historical societies of the area you want to search in. If you cannot visit them personally, you may be able to search their files on the Internet. Most historical societies have a website. Get into the habit of asking questions at the historical societies. You will be surprised at what kind of information you can gather.

Next, it's a good idea of having a metal detector. If you do not own a detector, you should think seriously about purchasing one, but do not spend more that $450. You don't need an expensive detector that has more controls on it than a 747. The expensive models can be confusing for newbies.

If you learn to use your detector correctly, and study the owners manual, you will be able to find just as much as the person using a more expensive model. Hidden treasures are out there, and you can locate them.

Here are seven areas to begin your search for lost treasures in New York.

Bear Mountain Forts - Two Revolutionary War forts, Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton were located in Bear Mt on the Hudson River, near Palisades Parkway, and route 9W. Some of the forts remains can still be seen. Both of these forts were captured by the British, and their occupants may have known of impending attacks. They may have buried valuables.

Butlersbury Mansion is located near Fonda, on Switzer Hill. This home was built in 1742 and occupied by two, hated Tories, John and William Butler.

Both men raided Patriots during the Revolutionary War, and then escaped to Canada. Supposedly, a vast treasure, or treasures are buried in or around the mansion.

German Flatts is located along the Mohawk River. It is a ten mile strip of ruins from the Palatine settlement that existed in the early 1700's. The homes were plundered and destroyed, and many of their occupants were killed by both the Iroquois Indians, and the Tories, during the Revolutionary War. Many occupants buried their possessions before the raids. And of course most died, leaving their caches behind.

Isle Royal is an island located on the St. Lawrence River near Waddington. In the mid 1700's a French commander buried approximately $50,000 before surrendering his fort to the British.

The Lost Blenheim Silver Mine is located somewhere near the north end of the mountain. The mine was sealed during the Revolutionary War so the British could not benefit from it. Landslides have since covered it further.

Silver Creek is located approximately eight miles northeast of Dunkirk on Lake Erie. Silver coins are found along the beach. Most likely from the steamship wreck, Atlantic, that went down in 1852. It was carrying approximately $60,000 in coins.

Grand Island is located between Buffalo and Niagra Falls, in the Niagra River. A well to do, French merchant named Clairieux buried kegs of eighteenth century coins near his home and store.

It is important that you always ask for permission when entering private property. If you are going on to State or Federal Land, in search for lost treasure, be sure to check with your State laws about any digging.

Good luck in your search for hidden treasure.

The Gramma War $3.95 Everything is going well in eleven-year-old Annie's ordered life--until she finds out that her ailing grandmother is coming to live with the family. A virtual stranger, her grandmother takes over Annie's room, smokes in the house, runs her mother ragged and turns Annie's whole world on end. Annie fights to stay afloat as her problems, both at home and at school, multiply. In an attempt to help her cope with the changes, Annie's parents enroll her in a local genealogical society where she grudgingly embarks on a journey to learn her family tree. In the process she discovers not only that her grandmother has a wealth of knowledge and stories about their shared family history, but that she was not always the angry old woman she seems to be. A humorous, fast-paced story that approaches a difficult subject in a novel way, The Gramma War will speak to all children who haven't had the chance to get to know their grandparents, and who sometimes wonder at life's fairness. In a time when extended families are spread around the globe and family ties are ever more tenuous, The Gramma War shows that we need to embrace the family experience, with all its blemishes. Always fascinated by genealogy and the fragility of family history, Kristin Butcher wrote The Gramma War in an effort to speak to young readers who aren't always able to hear their family stories and who may have lost contact with aged family members. A former teacher turned writer and reviewer, Kristin lives in Victoria, British Columbia. The Gramma War is her third novel for middle readers. The Runaways (Kids Can Press, 1997) was a regional winner of the Silver Birch Award. The Tomorow Tunnel (Thistledown Press) was released in 1999.

War of the Eagles $3.95 During WWII, Jed's English father serves as a fighter pilot overseas, while Jed and his mother move back to her Tsimshian community on Canada's west coast. When the military sets up a naval base in town, Jed is hired to help out, honored it seems, for both his father's bravery and his own native skills as a hunter. Presented with a military jacket, Jed finds an allegiance to his country and a pride in his mixed heritage that he's never felt before. But one day Jed's world is shattered. His best friend Tadashi, along with the other members of the nearby Japanese village, are declared enemy aliens and told to prepare to leave their homes. Now Jed must ask himself where his allegiance really belongs to his country's rigid code, or to the truth that is buried in his Tsimshian soul. Eric Walters' background as a high school teacher, social worker and family therapist make him a natural authority on the journey to adulthood. But his growing profile as a fiction writer has been astonishingly quick nonetheless. Eric's first novel, Stand Your Ground, was released in 1994 to enthusiastic reviews. In 1996, Stars earned him both the Blue Heron and the Silver Birch awards. The following year Trapped In Ice gained him a second Our Choice designation from the Canadian Children's Book Center. In War of the Eagles, Eric draws from his father's experiences to write his most personal, intensely moving work to date. War of the Eagles is the first of two books in a series. Book two is Caged Eagles.

Goldfish Silver Boot - The Story of a World War II Prisoner of War $15.26 By Harvey S. Horn. My story is about 36 days that changed my life. It is the story of a Jewish boy from Brooklyn who dreamt of flying and enlisted in the Army Air Corps to fight for his country. It is about survival. It is about walking, riding in trolleys, carts, and trains to go from Fiume, Italy to Nuremberg, Germany. It is about war. It is about the resiliency of the human being and the ability of the body to adapt to conditions beyond one's control. It is the story that all POWs keep replaying over and over and over and over. Could I have done more? Could I have done better? Did I perform as trained? Each day was a harrowing experience. I was the navigator in John Lincoln's Crew 11-30. We were attached to the 772nd Bomber Squadron, 463rd Bomber Group, 15th Air Force based in Foggia, Italy. On March 20, 1945, we were assigned to Flying Fortress B-17G "Pretty Baby's Boys." Our mission was to bomb the marshalling yards south of Vienna at Amstettin, Austria. We were hit by flak over Zagreb, Jugoslavia, and had to ditch into Quarnaro Bay off Fiume, Italy (now Rijeka, Croatia). We became prisoners of war of the German Navy. Being captured by the Germans is not the best of times; being Jewish and being captured by the Germans is the worst of times.Flight Officer Harvey S. Horn, 15th Air Force, 463rd Bomber Group, 772nd Bomber Squadron.

Gods of War $29.71 When the raid is completed that rainy March night in 1072 A.D., Charles the Merciless counts his spoils. He and his raiders have captured twentyfive men, fourteen women, five dozen gold coins, twenty-five small silver bars, an assortment of jewelry, and one baby boy with blond hair, green eyes, and a telling birthmark. Sold into slavery, the boy, John-the son of Robert and Mary Joinville and the grandson of Baron William Joinville-leads a difficult life at the Abbey of Lille. Tutored by a monk, John becomes not only a talented shepherd, but an educated young man. John yearns to become a knight. When his opportunity arises, this shepherd boy shows his true mettle as a leader and a warrior. As a knight of Baron Legran, he and his compatriots join God's Crusades where the battles never seem to end. The Arab and Turkish people have never forgotten the Crusades, even 1000 years after the fact. "Gods of War" provides a unique, historical look through John's eyes at the advance of Christendom into the heart of Islam.
