Amy,
 
Wild treasure is a cross between the thorny wild trailing blackberry here on the west coast (Rubus ursinus) and the thornless trailing cultivar 'Waldo'.  The fruit are small, but it has much better flavor than 'Chester' (which isn't all that hard, really) and has an earlier season as well.  My boss named and released the variety so I am very familiar with it and will bug him on Monday for a PDF copy of the release notice, which has all the info on it.
You didn't mention where on the east coast you are and that will make quite a difference on how it performs for you...

Has anyone tried, or heard of the new berry that Raintree has? It's called Wild Treasure, I think-- and sposed to be a cross btw the thorny wild cascade berry, and the Marionberry.
How do you think it would do on the east coast?
I don't like the thornless upright types like Chester; and I have a lot of fence to cover. We have a partially shaded spot, too near our new neighbors to keep goat that were very vocal, so we're turning that area into garden area, and sharing berries with the neighbor. He swore up and down the goat didn't bother him, but I know it must have.
