Lost, stolen, or undiscovered treasures have long been rumored to be buried throughout Atlantic Canada. Stories abound of loot squirreled away on islands and beaches by pirates and privateers, of fortunes in gold, silver and precious stones lost in the holds of ships wrecked on the jagged rocks of the rugged coast. In Tracking Treasure, Crooker investigates mysterious sites that are the subject of story, myth and song. Some are documented in historical accounts, while others belong to folklore. William Crooker's fascination with hidden treasures made him the foremost expert on the great Nova Scotia treasure hunt.

This book was quite interesting. It consists of quite a few stories about Maritime treasure. Some little known stories and some well known ones. But in each case each story is told with the authors personal experience. Although some stories could have been researched more I recommend reading this book if you are at all interested in Atlantic mysteries. The stories don't just revolve around treasure but also mysteries.
