Dave's new adventure book, "Extreme Prospector," follows him into some of the world's most dangerous places in search of riches and adventure. From jumping ship in the dark gloom of night into the icy waters of Hong Kong Harbor, to being relentlessly pursued by the Canadian Mounted Police for finding and keeping a bonanza of gold, to diving for rich diamond deposits in the murky, crocodile-infested waters of the Venezuelan Amazon, former Navy SEAL and ultimate non-conformist, Dave Mack, is the true life version of Indiana Jones.

Going places no other adventurer would dare to go, from the steamy jungles of Borneo, to the Killing Fields of Cambodia, Dave Mack and a select few other extreme prospectors have come back time after time with handfuls of gleaming gold nuggets and bulging bags of priceless gemstones.

Dave’s accomplishments are a testament to self-determination, courage, integrity and character. Dave Mack’s adventures read like Mission Impossible action stories. The fact that he has survived them all will leave you wondering if he has a whole army of guardian angels watching over his shoulder!
