Memoir

288

C. J. Stevens and his wife began panning for gold in 1978, and this would lead to a host of other treasure-related explorations in Maine. They also met ingenious and colorful personalities committed to the search of the earth's hidden surprises.
This memoir should appeal to all who love adventure and the outdoors.
