A Thoroughly Modern Treasure Hunt

“There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go and dig somewhere…” From ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ by Mark Twain, 1876.

A Thoroughly Modern Treasure Hunt
In 1945, Germany and its allies were surrendering. Gold and anything of value was being looted on an unprecedented scale. Most loot would be lost forever but Dave had a wartime diary with clues of where to look. He’d start his own search and meet some colourful characters, experience a number of unusual accidents and incidents and see some amazing cities and unravel their history on the way. This is a true story of adventure, a test of a strong relationship, testimony to great friends, and a trial of the human spirit made in a very unusual quest. This is an account to make you smile, as you join a ride through an overlooked chapter of World War Two and the modern day quests across four countries to retrace steps from the past.

“My treasure hunting days have been exciting and if you want to share in the adventure read my book, in the last chapter is the wherabouts of everything I know. You can read my book for light entertainment or join in the adventure. Its your choice..” David Turner – author of ‘A Thoroughly Modern Treasure Hunt.’
