treasure hunting

[pontifex]

I was listening to the radio this morning and they had James Brolin(sp?) on because he is the spokesman or something for Alldeepblue.com, a marine exploration and recovery company. I guess right now they are looking for some Spanish galleons off the east coast.

anyway, if you had the chance to do something like this, would you?
it sounds pretty awesome to me and i would definitely take the chance.

I do geocaching, which is kinda close sometime 🙂

Yes.

Of course the guy lost his son while looking for that treasure.

QFT: doing sonar scans 12 hours a day for months sounds like a riot. Only to maybe find something someday and watch the local goverment seize it? No thanks.

IIRC mel fisher found a bunch of treasure some where and the calafornian or floridian government wanted it or wanted a great deal of it, so he brought a camera man out on the boat (blind folded of course) then when they were in the right spot, you couldn't see ANY land around at all, he took off the blind fold and talked to the camera

"if you want it come get it"

and through what he had overboard

apperently only he knows/knew where it was/is

i think it happened a long time ago though

I am a Treasure Hunter but to a lesser degree.
