We're after Inca treasures this time 'n they're hidden somewhere in the Llanganatis Mountains down in Ecuador. There was enough of 'em 't fill a good sized buildin 't a depth of twelve foot. Now that's a lot of loot. The feller that hid 'em was mighty clever 'n we had a dickens of a time tryin 't figure out what he'd done we with 'em. Ya ain't gonna believe what finally turned the trick fer us. In order 't get 't them mountains we had 't pass through headhunter country. From ever description we had of 'em we knew they'd be after our heads. They'd take 'em 'n pop the eyes out of 'em 'n shrink 'em 'n hang 'em in their huts 't remind 'em how fierce they was 'n how dumb we was. Yer gonna meet Nacho 'n Luca. They're gonna be our guides inta where we can start huntin fer the treasures on our own. They supplied Big Mike 'n Dr. Jack Ford with hosses 't ride that was right out of King Arthur's time. Before we left Santa Fe I got together with our gunsmith 'n told him where we was headin 'n what we was gonna be up against. He came up with a new weapon fer us that will knock yer socks off. Get yer protective gear on 'n get yer firepower ready. We'll do our best 't keep ya from gettin harmed. Thanks fer jumpin inta this one with us cause its a humdinger. Gramps
As ya know if ya've been trackin us, we left some of the Ottoman Empire treasures behind us when we was last in the Mediterranean Sea. We're goin back after 'em. Ya also know we lost a soldier when we was there the first time so we prepared ourselves with the best firepower in the world this time. Before we could get over there though we found Eddie McGrath was after our treasures agin. This time he was gonna use Aunt Margaret 't get at us. We was in a desperate race 't get 't her before that snivelin low life could. I think ever pirate in Europe was waitin fer us this time round. The word had got out ahead of us we was comin 'n they was prepared. On top of that it looked like ever train robber in Europe was out 't get us too. The search fer the treasures come near 't doin some of us in. The rascals hidin it set up more booby traps that ya can imagine. It was a good thing we had Colombo with us this time cause he's awful good at pullin our fat out of the fire. Get yerself ready to get out of some awful tight spots. We get more than our share this time round. Shore glad yer lendin us yer imaginations. Yer a lot more help 't us than ya might think. Gramps
This time we're headed inta cannibal country agin. The Jaguar People was said 't be the worst cannibals on earth 'n we had 't go through their territory 't get 't where we was goin. They was the guardians of the Secret City of Paititi 'n had never let anyone get even close 't where it was supposed 't be. Before we could get 't land of the Jaguar People we had 't fight our way through other hostile savages that was determined 't do us in. They caught us in the rivers we was travelin. I think yer gonna like the way we took 'em on. Before we left 't join up with Dr. Jack Ford 'n his team we ran across a book written by the son of a feller named Webb Thomas. Thomas had made six attempts 't find the same thing we was lookin fer. He disappeared never 't be heard from agin. The accounts of them attempts was awful grisly 'n I did my best 't let others l know what we was up against goin after the treasures this time. Load yer backpack up good cause we're doin a lot of paddlin 'n hackin our way through jungle. Have yer firepower handy too. Thanks fer joinin us. Gramps
We've just gotten back from Brazil 'n found Luke Mephistopheles, the attorney who defended Uncle Timothy 'n Angus O'Day, was busy tryin 't track 'em down. They'd been missin fer more than half a year now 'n Luke was determined 't find 'em. Seems Timothy had told him he knew a family secret bout Sam that Sam would pay through the nose 't keep quiet. Luke made a huge mistake when he went 't Hammer 't try 'n find out what happened 't Eddie McGrath. He knew Eddie was with Timothy 'n Angus when they disappeared. Once Hammer knew what Luke was tryin 't do he got on the trail of Eddie too. Luke had talked Black O'Day, Angus's son inta joinin him in the hunt. Hammer brought two of his cohorts Paddy 'n Maddy along with him. They all wound up in Santa Fe, each determined 't be the first 't find those they was lookin fer. Yer in fer a surpise when ya learn how we was dealin with Black O'Day 'n Paddy 'n Maddy. Dress casual like cause Santa Fe is a mighty causal place.

As usual Sam was workin on uncoverin another treasure fer us 't discover. This time we was goin deep inta the heart of Mexico 't look fer the seven caves of Chicomoztoc. They was the origin caves of five indigenous tribes down there 'n it would mean the world 't 'em if we could find 'em. Now as ya can see right quick that only accounts fer five of 'em. That leaves two more. Wal now, them other two was supposed 't be loaded with some of the purest veins of gold on earth 'n if we could find 'em it was gonna help the five villages we was workin with attract their young'uns back. They'd been leavin till there was only the real young 'n mostly old folks left. The lure of modern civilization was too strong fer 'em. Where we was gonna be explorin was as primitive as ya can get. It was infested with Mexican banditos that was as mean as a stepped on rattler. We had 'em breathin down our necks 'n we knew they'd do us in 'n take everthin we had if they ever got the chance. Yer gonna be surprised at how clever them ancients was bout concealin the clues 't where them caves was. Sam was up a stump tryin 't figure 'em out. Hope ya got yer workin duds on cause there's a passel of work this time round. Thanks fer joinin up again. These treasure hunts are so much better when yer along. Gramps
Ya remember don't ya bout us findin Merlin's treasure? While we was down findin the Atahualpa treasure Sir Thomas Mitchell over there in Camelot sent a telegram sayin he'd discovered what he was callin Merlin's cavern. He found a book on a pedestal in the cavern 'n fer the life of him couldn't make heads 'r tails of it. Since we was gone Marie wired back 'n asked him 't please send the book 't us. He wired us sayin that book was stuck 't that pedestal 'n he was bettin an army couldn't move it. In the same wire he was wantin 't know if we'd be interested in comin back over 'n takin a look at it. See yer already thinkin ahead of us knowin we'd be as curious as a cat lookin fer a mouse bout that book. As soon as we could we made arrangements 't get over there 'n take a look. Big Mike 'n Dr. Jack Ford had made arrangements 't write a book on the Atahualpa treasure. Jack was also sayin he could use some help dealin with the cannibals regardin gettin the rest of the treasure out. Big Mike 'n Rylan was headed down 't Bogota. Sam 'n me was on our own goin back 't Camelot. If I haven't stretched yer imagination 't the limits yet yer in fer a surprise. We was absolutely amazed at Merlin's powers. That Book of Magic Sir Thomas struggled with was the key 't things ya only dream bout. This time round yer gonna find out what at least one of them Penny Dreadful books they was writin bout us over in Europe had 't say.

Sam was diggin up everthin there was on it cause he was determined 't find it even though thousands had tried it before him. It was said the whole durn city had disappeared before the Spanish Conquistadors could get their greedy hands on it. Sam was bettin he could figure out where it went 'n we got ourselves ready 't get down 't Bogota 'n get started. Before we could get goin though I found myself in the hands of kidnappers. Ya ain't gonna believe who was behind tryin 't ransom me fer ten million dollars. This time round yer gonna meet Dr. Jack Ford. Jack is one of the best human beins ever created 'n yer gonna find out why. He's full of more tricks than them Mississippi river boat gamblers 'n proved it time after time. He found a way 't save our hides when I was shore we'd seen the last sunset we was ever gonna see. It'll knock yer socks off 't see how he done it. We hit a dead end in our search fer El Dorado.

Dress yerselves warm cause it's mighty cold where we're goin. Thanks fer comin along cause ya always lend us courage when we get in tight spots. Gramps
I'll bet ya knew we was gonna make it 't Egypt on one our treasure hunts. Wal now, that's just what we're doin this time. Jeffrey, Sam's assistant there in our offices in Santa Fe, dug up some very interestin stuff on Pharaoh Harihor who was a high priest before he became a pharaoh. That put him in a unique situation regardin the tombs 'n treasures of ever pharaoh before him. Legend says he was the richest pharaoh ever 'n Sam was bettin he knew how he got that way. He was also bettin he could find the tomb of Harihor even though hunder'ts of others had tried it 'n had come up empty handed. Before we head 't Egypt though we have 't take care of what we was gonna do with our business "OBJ Treasure Hunters, Inc." Things was gettin absolutely crazy on us 'n we had 't make a major decision bout what 't do. Once we got out there among the tombs lookin fer Harihors, we was set upon by a band of grave robbers. They was a fearsome bunch 'n was bristilin with firepower. They wanted Big Mike. They was bettin we'd pay 'em a king's ransom 't get him back 'n they was shore right bout that. Yer gonna have 't sit down 't read what we found under the Sphinx. Whoever created what we found there was one of the greatest minds ever. I wonder if aliens had a hand in it? Pack real light stuff on this trip cause it gets mighty warm in Egypt. Shore glad yer comin along. It makes everthin a thousand times more excitin. Gramps
We're headed 't the bottom of the biggest hole in the earth in North America, the Grand Canyon. Sam's research helpers uncovered information bout an ancient civilization developin a very advanced civilization there thousands of years ago. They say there have been those that discovered it but took the location 't their graves with 'em. Course ya know Sam learnin stuff like that got him all fired up 't head there 't see if we could find any evidence of 'em. We knew we couldn't do it without help though 'n started lookin fer an Indian guide. Tribes had occupied the canyon since their origins 'n knew things white men was never gonna know. We found Dan Ferren. I'm always amazed bout how lucky we are 't find top notch people 't help us out. When Dan found out Big Mike was Michael P. James the now famous archeology writer I thought he was gonna stop breathin. He got so shaky he collapsed inta a big chair until he could gather his wits agin. When we got 't the canyon we found there was others there ahead of us 'n the race was on. We come awful near 't losin Sam 'n was near out our minds tryin 't locate him. Ya will be amazed at how clever them ancients was bout protectin what was theirs. We're headed where it's hot agin so prepare yerselves. Make shore ya got lots of nice cold drinkin water handy cause even when yer only imaginin what we're doin I'll bet yer gonna feel mighty thirsty. Thanks fer comin along. I hope ya like prowlin around underground. Gramps
Just like them Ottoman Empire treasures were back 't finish gettin the rest of the Atahualpa treasure. We thought we had the headhunters that helped us last time ready 't help us agin 'n got the surprise of our lives. Not only wasn't they not gonna help us, I thought the young headhunters was gonna talk the older ones inta doin us in. I'm mighty thankful Sam 'n Me had them new powers of ours. We've got Dr. Jack Ford 'n his team with us as well as Long John Hook 'n all the Aussies he always has with him. We thought we was all set but them headhunters outfoxed us 'n captured Sam 'n me 'n Big Mike 'n Jack 'n his team. Big Mike is gonna knock yer socks off. I knew he was quick witted but none of the rest of us could hold a candle 't him on this trip. That brain of his was workin at light speed 'n I'm shore thankful it was cause he saved our bacon. Gettin the treasure out of headhunter country wasn't our only problem. We come near 't gettin stuck in Esmeralda 'n only got out of there by the skin of our teeth. Then we ran inta... Hold up there a minute, I guess I'd better let ya find out fer yerself. I'm mighty glad yer strappin on yer back pack with us. Bring all the tricks ya can think of fer gettin out of trouble. We're gonna need 'em all. Gramps
