I used to read my Grandpa's old Nat Geo books as a little kid and have been a fan sense. 😊 back in the 90s, no wifi, no satellite tv, just a little girl & her books. ❤

Moral of the story: when diving for treasure, never tell the government(s).

I love this series...combines maps archeology & solving mysteries all in one show. The science and technology are mind blowing. Thanks for teaching in a very enthusiastic entertaining form. Put this form of info in schools, children would love it.

How do you retain the found gold, once government finds out and claims it

[IkerConner]

As a documentary freak of history, this is my new favorite channel.. Love this Drain the oceans series documentaries..

[Louis-qw]

How you say can ALL that treasure be recovered? I'll tell you....BY NOT BEING GREEDY!!! That's how.

When I was a little girl back in the 70's I dreamed of what would it be like to drain the oceans? Wow! You've done it! Thank u! BEST SHOW OUT THERE!

[xSirDudex]

I've seen all three seasons of this show. It's a mind-blowing show! There is so much in the ocean. Pretty sure this show was the film crew that was filming recently and accidentally found a piece of the challenger space shuttle.

[Suavio]

Crazy how these finds create revenue for people who were already wealthy, proves that you have to be able to pay to even get close to the playing field!!

[IslandUncharted]

is it the archeological value that makes the silver worth so much? last time I checked silver is worth basically nothing

[silvernight]

I have found something to watch that does not bore me finally

[wolfdenranjeet]

Ok just drain the ocean and find MH 370 aircraft please

[duskmoon]

American Government: *sends agents to retrieve lost civil war gold and gives the finders a pat on the back and a lollipop.

Dutch Government: "here, you take half for finding it and we'll take half since our company used to own it. Thanks for finding it for us gentlemen"

🤔

[Midwest_Railfan]

This is one of the coolest documentaries, awesome

[RPRIMICI]

All that silver from Bolivia's silver-rich mountain (Potosi). Finder's keepers, losers weepers I guess.... Later on, this supply of siliver is what allows India's Mughal Emperor to build the Taj Mahal (1632) as Spanish silver is used to pay for India's silks and spices.

[Twerkulies]

Fun fact: There's only one known instance of pirates burring treasure, and that pirate was William Kidd.
