Hey J.,<br /><br />Jones does offer a nice summary of New England treasure-seeking, but by far the most comprehensive look at the phenomenon is in Alan Taylor, “The Early Republic’s Supernatural Economy: Treasure Seeking in the American Northeast, 1780-1830,” <i>American Quarterly</i> 38, no. 1 (Spring, 1986): 6-34.
