This page can lead you to an adventure of a life time. Whether you are an arm chair adventurer, or you decide to get into it up to your elbows, this may be the place for you. The treasure of Poverty Island has been a legend in print for more than 100 years. There may very well be newspaper stories that date back much further. The news article (on the member site) from the 1940's speaks of two University of Michigan divers who followed the legend of Poverty Island. The question is, where did they read about it? How far back did their source push the legend? There are many questions to answer before the Poverty Island Treasure is found. 

It is simple to join our group. There are no meetings, no dues, and we share ideas and comments. Here's how it works buy either the 'Deep Quest-The Entry' book by Richard Bennett and send in the certificate in the back of the book. No copies please, they will be rejected. Or buy the 'Poverty Island Brief ' and you are part of our band of merry treasure hunters. We share ideas through e-mails, without it I can't pass along any information to the group. Why would you give up a valuable secrete you have discovered? After 44 Years of my re-searching there are still parts of the puzzle missing. I feel a thousand brains investigating a subject has to come up with some new facts. At what point is the puzzle reveled? Who knows. Think of this 'Treasure Hunters Group' like people of the television program 'Wheel of Fortune', three or four people all see parts of the puzzle at the same time. One will put it all together and win. Do I have a better chance than most? Probably, but then I've invested a lot more than most. The one thing I can't control is the moment you find that one extra piece of the puzzle. If you by the new release of The 'Poverty Island Brief 2010' you will receive the latest entries into the brief as of June 6, 2010. From that point on we will be adding new facts as we review and qualify them.

What would stop me from just reading all the new sources of information that are e-mailed in and I never give anything back? Nothing, but I  review all the e-mails with a personal response to you. If  I give you back an "OK" we will publish your idea or fact you will be the first one e-mailed.
What if all you want to do is buy the book/s and read about the treasure hunt as it unfolds letting someone else do the hard work. Fine, but this group is no different that any other individual effort. You get out of life what you put in.  Your single clue of fact doesn't entitle you to any part of the treasure unless you bring it to the surface or hire someone to do it for you. We are a gathering site of information, not a partnership.
What if you find out something very important and want to cut a deal with me? I would be very happy with a piece of this huge pie. You know what they say, "The last piece of the pie tastes the best."
