Book excerpt: This book examines the evidence for the widespread idea that 'the Treasure of Lima' was buried on Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean in 1820, and remains there to this day. The legend inspired some 500 expeditions to the Island between 1850 and 1978, when digging for buried treasure became illegal.
