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 sixty 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 40 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 the moment you find that one extra
piece of the puzzle. If you by the new release of The 'Poverty Island Brief
2006' you will receive the latest entries into the brief as of June 6, 2006.
From that point on we will be adding new facts as we review 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 some 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.
