There is so much information hidden in the history books which often forces us to be shocked. We are unaware of the surprising things around us. A similar thing happened to a person in the US. This person was reading Byron Preiss and Sean Kelly’s 1982 book The Secret: A Treasure Hunt. In the book, he finds out that there is a treasure hidden on Staten Island.
According to the New York Post, David Hager (58), a resident of Colorado, with his wife Michelle and two sons, started digging in a small park in the early morning at 6 am. He said that the book mentioned that treasure is hidden at this place. This place has been excavated before, but nothing was found because those people did not understand the clues properly.
Hager is a geologist and science teacher who now owns a college-planning service. He said that there are two things in the book that no one has been able to understand to date. “We paid full attention to this. We feel that the treasure should be at this place in the park. There were two things [in the book] that nobody could figure out. We have this so dialled in. It has to be here,” he told the New York Post.
It is said that in the early 1980s, Preiss buried keys and casques in 12 cities in North America. Detailed clues have been given in this book about those places. Based on his book, many places were excavated and only three of the places in Chicago, Cleveland and Boston have ever been found. Preiss died in a car accident on Long Island in 2005.
Hager and his family travelled from Denver to spend the holiday weekend digging. They brought shovels, battery-operated power drills and underground cameras with them. If Hager discovers a casque and key, he can exchange the key with the Preiss estate for a particular gemstone, which he believes to be a topaz and is valued at approximately $2000, i.e., about Rs 1.66 lakh. They are doing this work secretly and do not want to tell anyone about the digging place because they were not licensed for the excavation.
Hager said that before coming here, they practised behind their house. Tested different tools and techniques so that there was no difficulty while digging. So far, this family has dug to a depth of 30 feet, but the treasure has not been found yet.
