The Bookseller and the Lost Treasure
A London antiquarian bookseller bought an old book for just a few pounds at a flea market. Between the pages, he discovered a hand-drawn treasure map with directions. At first, he thought it was a joke, but his curiosity wouldn’t let him go.
After weeks of research, he actually found a buried tin box containing old coins, jewelry, and a diary on an estate in Cornwall. The treasure apparently belonged to an 18th-century smuggler. The bookseller became a local hero overnight – thanks to a simple accidental find.
