Step Inside Our Inner Circle
One of-a-kind vintage finds
Description
Discover a rare pair of vintage collectible magazines from September 1973: Long John Latham’s Treasure World. These two issues offer a fascinating glimpse into the era of treasure hunting, metal detectors, lost mines and ghost towns—a perfect addition for vintage magazine lovers, history buffs, or adventurous décor seekers.
Inside you’ll find rich period adverts (including Garrett electronics detector ads), captivating articles like “A Bandit Treasure in New Jersey?” and “Missing $20,000 Cache”, striking photography and illustrations from the early ’70s.
Both magazines are well-worn with age-character (visible wear along the spines and yellowing pages) but remain intact and fully readable—an authentic piece of treasure-hunting history.
