Lost California Treasure: An Interview With Author W. Craig Gaines

Tales of California’s hidden treasures and lost mines span the state from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Sunken cargo from the steamship Brother Jonathon is rumored to still be out there, awaiting discovery, as is the location of the famous lost Breyfogle Mine. Outlaws like Three Finger Jack and Joaquin Murrieta were said to have stashed their loot while evading law enforcement, and Sir Francis Drake’s English pirates buried treasures all along the coast. Deep underground and underwater, a bounty awaits for some lucky prospector. Join author W. Craig Gaines as he unearths stories of legendary and historic lost treasures yet to be found in the Golden State.

W. Craig Gaines is the author of several books, including Civil War Gold and Other Lost Treasures, Lost Oklahoma Treasure and Lost Texas Treasure. Craig has been interested in lost treasure ever since seeing the film Treasure Island when he was very young. He has written lost treasure stories for a variety of treasure hunting magazines. Craig is an engineer, geologist and writer who has been in many of the areas mentioned in this work. He currently resides with his wife, Arla, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
