its amazing how gold and silver can sit somewhere for years and not be tarnished or encrusted without air

The gentleman that was head of this group is from Pinehurst NC. I’ve been to his home and have seen coins from this find. Totally incredible to see these coins first hand. This wreck was initially believed to have sunk of the Virginia/NC coast according to the Eastern Continental Shelf Survey which was produced by Duke University back in the 1970’s. This wreck was found off the South Carolina coast (Myrtle Beach) in over 10, 000 feet of water.
His investors put in $10, 000 of investment monies and were paid close to 1 million in returns.

This is fascinating, feel like i wanted to be a treasure hunter... surely i'll find plastics

I found a 20 Euro bill, several knives, a bike and underwear while diving. Nothing fancy yet, but it is just so satisfying to find something underwater – even if it is not a big treasure

Got to love how when these people put in all the work and money to find something you have companies and government's saying it's theirs

2:26 That’s me. That coin sold for over $300, 000

Plot twist, those “gold” coins are just Chuck E. Cheese tokens

When he picked that gold coin, he did not notice two others right next to it!

* *fish comes home* * Honey, where’s my gold?

[Pumkin]

Prime example of "it takes money to make money".
It's usually people who have the kind of cash to be able to afford diving and submersibles along with all the equipment, permits and licenses required.

The absolute obsession with the mystery of treasure in humans, it makes us go different

[jasonmcpheters]

I’d be staying down their for as long as possible trying to see if their was gold coins in the sand

[TheExplorerPHI]

The last one is so deep that's why they use a Robot.. I think there's still remaining gold in that ship, Robot can't pick up coins 😄

[craigdutton]

Just to see all that gold that sat their all that time 🎉❤

[dazzleglam]

I’m so sick of watching other people live my dreams

[jonabila]

The gold cross that was lost for 51 years should be in the top10 of the most priceless find list.

[secondstance]

Sharks keep me from doing this same thing --- I'm not afraid of much, but Sharks freak the sh*t out of me...
