THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[Itchy Ideas]

Here's a beauty. I was reading yesterday some more of the John Charles whatever book and I came across a thrilling gem. This part of the story takes place as he and his group of men reach the great Salt Lake and proceed to take their boat to an island to explore. Charley, as he's referred as, climbs a rocky mountain which is 800 feet above the shoreline. I believe it's on the north end of the island.

Charley takes out his telescope he brought and looks around to help him with his sketch of the surrounding lake for his new map he'll make. After that, the story tells of them shoving off the next morning in their boat for their next goal. Soon after, Charley realizes he has left the brass cap to his telescope up on the mountain where he was sketching the day before. He remarks it'll make quite the treasure to someone in the future if they find it.

So true, that would be a thrilling moment to be able to go to that island (it's privately owned now) and metal detect trying to find that treasure left there by Charles Fremont, the Pathfinder. Oh my, I'd mount an expedition right away if it was possible to explore there for it. Wonder if it's been found by anyone yet.

Sure sounds like a vital hint for finding Fenn's treasure.
You're bumping this thread with nonsense.

Now that I spent the time of reading this post though, can you please provide source material? Not that I'm interested or anything like that, but just so that I know you're not bumping this thread with made up BS to get back to the front page.

Photo, book title, chapter, page number would be helpful.
