 Description:  Before there were coins in the New World, before there were Spanish Treasure Fleets, and even before there were any kind of European colonies in Mexico, the conquistador, Hernan Cortés, discovered a new precious-metal mix that led to an improvised manufacture of so-called "tumbaga" bars.  The "tumbaga" bars are a group of over 200 silver and gold ingots discovered in the remains of an unidentified ca.-1528 shipwreck off Grand Bahama Island in 1993.  This book is divided into three parts: The first part chronicles the earliest documents relating to the treasure accumulated by Hernan Cortés during his conquest of the Aztec empire. The second part concerns the later phase of conquest, specifically Captain Cristóbal de Olid’s campaign in the region of the Tarascan kingdom in western Mexico. The third and final part discusses technical aspects of these bars based on an interpretation of their markings and manufacture.The specimens studied in this book are the only ones known to exist—all of them from the same wreck—and therefore they will always be of the utmost rarity and historical importance. The book contains a data matrix for all 194 bars, including their weights, measurements, markings and descriptions. Also featured are plates of 60 selected bars, maps, native drawings and charts.

Interestingly, the National Travel Club edition also states "First Edition"...the only explanation I can think of is that the National Travel Club must have used the same plates as the McBride first edition, changing only the publisher name. Dodd, Mead & Company, New York City, published many printings of this book beginning in 1951, in hardback with a dust jacket. A Book Club Edition (stated) was published by Frederick Fell, Inc., New York City (1970), in hardback with a dust jacket (dust jacket says "New - Revised - Up To Date" across the top and is red). A paperback edition (Armed Services Edition) was published by Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., New York City  (1942).  Popular Library, New York City, also published a paperback edition in 1953, with a subsequent printing in 1954.

The original amendment to the Western Australia Museum's Act afforded no protection to shipwrecks found by an intrepid diver. Because the author was denied ownership rights, the way was opened for pilferers and looters to remove valuable artifacts from such wrecks.

Editions: The real first edition of this book was produced in 1995-1996 as a notebook comprised of computer-printed pages and Xeroxed materials.

Description: This how-to book is an excellent guide for anyone considering treasure salvage as a hobby, an occupation or an investor. The book includes chapters about the 1622, 1715 and 1733 Spanish treasure fleets wrecked off the coast of Florida, putting a salvage operation together, salvaging treasure on a budget of $5000 or less, working the site, preservation of artifacts, dividing up the treasure and approaching investors. It is very well written by an author who has been salvaging treasure from Spanish galleons since 1960.

Treasure Hunting: Fact and Fiction
Category: Underwater Archaeology
Comments: Pamphlet; illustrated
Size: 5.5" x 8.5"
Pages: 8
Editions: The first edition (not stated) was probably published anonymously since their is no publisher listed and the topic was quite controversial in 1983. There is a note that the publication was funded in part by the Texas Historical Foundation. It is a small paperback pamphlet.
Description: This pamphlet attempts to separate fact from fiction in the argument between underwater treasure hunters and archaeologists, and encourages a "realistic approach" to the crisis in preservation of historic wrecks. It was written in support of two bills in the Texas legislature that support the protection of shipwrecks from treasure hunters. It takes each of the individual position statements made by treasure hunters (listed as Fiction), and offers a rebuttal (Fact).
