“I know of nobody who knows the stories and folklore of the old
lost mines and caches in more detail than Jameson ….”
Dale Walker, Rocky Mountain News


    For thousands of years, men and women have been fascinated with tales lost mines and buried treasures as well as with the notion of finding them. Many of the world’s greatest legends are associated with the search for lost treasure, including Jason and the Argonauts’ quest for the Golden Fleece, King Solomon’s Mines, The Lost Dutchman Mine, Blackbeard’s Treasure, and more. Some of our most enduring literary works have involved the hunt for lost wealth including Treasure Island and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

    For over forty years, W.C. Jameson, America’s most famous professional treasure hunter, has conducted expeditions in this country and others in search fabled treasures as well as relatively unknown caches of wealth. An award-winning author, Jameson has collected many of the stories and researched them in detail.

Jameson regularly advises others in their searches and in the preparation of major and minor expeditions. Jameson has authored over sixty books and has served as a consultant and advisor for movies and television, and has appeared on The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, Nightline, and PBS.
