Making a treasure discovery - just the thought of uncovering gold, silver, or other valuable items from ancient times is highly fascinating. In this book, the well-known author of novels and non-fiction, Manfred Böckl, explores the topic of treasure hunting in Bavaria in both an informative and entertaining manner. First, Böckl presents the most spectacular treasure finds in the Free State; then he writes about two lost treasure hoards of immense value, which are historically verifiable and await rediscovery. Furthermore, the author quotes and interprets more than three dozen legends that provide quite precise clues to lost or hidden treasures; clues that often include very useful location details. Additionally, Böckl discusses sites and archaeological monuments that are particularly interesting for treasure hunters: castle and monastery ruins.
