Codex Benthos
Codex A Catalog of Lost Mines, Buried Treasures, Unsolved Mysteries, Unexplained Oddities of Vashon and Maury Islands, Washington Penned by celebrated mythical treasure hunter, Cecil Benthos, Codex Benthos is the first-ever catalog of hidden treasures, mysterious events, and weird things on Vashon and Maury Islands. The compilation includes twenty-one stories of lost treasures and unexplained mysteries, some of which may actually be true. Others are based upon legends and incomplete memories that make treasure hunting both a challenge and a frustration. Most of the stories appear here for the first time. Included are fascinating tales of lost gold and gems, mysterious caverns filled with powerful crystals, tales of creepy hauntings and supernatural events, and accounts of incredible creatures and alien invasions. Once you pick it up, you will have a hard time putting this book down. By reading Codex Benthos carefully, you may be able to discover some of those lost treasures and find your path to fame and glory. If not, you can at least take some comfort knowing that you've contributed to the retirement fund of a crackpot whose retirement plan until now consisted of the world's largest collection of antique door knobs.

This book was creative, so I gave it an extra star for that. I would love an updated version, as I have heard many of the places have changed a great deal since this book was written. If you want to check out some strange places on Vashon Island, this book is a good place to start.
