1965. Snow, Edward Rowe. Red-Taped Gold – Treasure Hunter is Balked By Law After Finding An Old Pirate Hoard. LIFE Magazine. December 23, 1946.
1965. Snow, Edward Rowe. Red-Taped Gold – Treasure Hunter is Balked By Law After Finding An Old Pirate Hoard. LIFE Magazine. December 23, 1946. Full issue. For those doubters out there, this 3-page article, filled with photos, describes the hoard of pirate treasure and old bones buried by Pirate Edward Low more than 200 years ago that was discovered by Mr. Snow on an island off Nova Scotia. Snow was allowed to bring the bones into the US after certifying that they were not carriers of hoof and mouth disease. The coins were deposited by Canadian Customs in the bank. Mr Snow had to complete an application process and eventually was allowed to return home with the coins. Interesting issue with great articles and advertisements of the day. Only light wear, some chipping to wraps. (VG+). $38.
