Friends, treasure ships are really out of my league but, on this one, the evidence is pretty clear of a Spanish treasure ship being beached among the Oregon Coast. Treasure hunters had uncovered rocks inscribed with coded messages and clues to the buried treasure that points to proof that the booty still lies there. As a matter of fact, it was proven that the ship carried a large amount of beeswax and some of it has been recovered. The rest still lays undisturbed waiting to be found. Here is the story entitled: KEY TO THE TREASURE ON NEHALEM SPIT By Wayne Darwin Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine. For this item, I am making it available with a Buy It Now opportunity so you don’t have to wait to see if it's yours. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the treasure of the wreck of the Konapoee of the old west are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. KEY TO THE TREASURE ON NEHALEM SPIT By Wayne Darwin Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Marine Ancestors, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.
