Learning how treasure is hidden can be applied to anywhere on earth and in any time. KVM's books are universally accepted as the holy grail of treasure manuals. Some of what he writes is pure storytelling but the tenets of what he is saying come across beautifully and are useful for every treasure hunt you undertake. The book by Moore and Jennings is also full of information on how and why treasure is hidden and to what lengths men and women will go to recover it. Some of their adventures turned quite deadly. Since it's free, there's really no excuse for not reading it.

I have a book in my hand right now which I just put down to type this.
Ghost Towns of Australia by George Farwell. You can get one here:

The book is not a new one but the reference material in there is excellent. He gives directions to towns that are no longer on any map.
Sign up for the National Library of Australia on their web site for lots of information on possible treasure leads. Don't mention treasure or artifact hunting if you communicate with anyone there. Just mention historical research and leave it at that.

Some of their collections have been digitized and only available if you become a member. They mail you a card which allows you to borrow books at your local library. They ship the books you need to there and you can sometimes check them out. Other times, you can only use them in the reference rooms. Very nice service and all paid for by your taxes.
Don't forget the good old Library of Congress in the USA. They have a large collection of ancient maps of Australia.

There are also a number of private collections which have been digitized. You can download images here and buy some excellent copies for your research.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
