Refunds? REFUNDS ?? surely you jest ! This could be a classic example of "Your check's in the mail".

Some here have mentioned the old "Treasure", "Treasure Search" and "Treasure Found" magazines. As I recall, "Treasure Search" mag and "Treasure Found" mag were eventually combined to the awkwardly titled "Treasure Search-Found" magazine.

I liked those a lot too, and was a writer for those publications for quiet a while. I remember noticing I hadn't received my check for my last article and eventually called the magazine's number. A lawyer answered the phone saying the company was out of business...maybe bankrupt...it's been a long time, and I never got my money. I was in frequent contact with several of the folks who owned and/or operated the company and none said a word indicating the company was closing. I didn't think that was good business!

All that said, it was one of the best magazines of the genre, I thought.

you are right! when i started detecting around '77 i bought every "treasure found" i could get, and for years and years i subscribed.in my view,"found" was the best damn treasure rag out there, and when they croaked i went to w&e but, again 'found" was the best.nothing in it but "finds, finds,and finds.just loved that format! wish they would start it up again!..just sayin'

That's a very sad story......same thing sort of happened to me. I lost many back issues of "Treasure", "Treasure Search", and W&ET magazine from the 1980's and some old books on metal detecting, not to mention a box full of oddball finds when I moved back in 1990. I think my ex-wife may have "accidentally" or even on purpose threw them all away.

I also had about a hundred books on metal detecting. Our club started a library and I found that I had more books than they did.

The March 2019 issue of Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine will be its last printed issue and from that point on the magazine will only be available in digital format. I'm wondering if this will be the first step toward disappearing like other MD'ing magazines like Lost Treasure, Treasure, Treasure Search etc.etc.
