I just watched a fascinating documentary on one man's descent into treasure hunting! As some of you might know, any person can plunk down a minimum of $10,000 & do a dive on the Atocha & other ships the Fisher crew have rights on. Well, this doc follows the whole process from A to Z. It is a phenomenal piece of reporting.
There are MANY parallels to what those big dogs do, and what we hobbyists do. MANY!
I knew the whole Fisher story, the finds, etc., however, watching what these guys do, the hard work, the excitement, the riches, too much to describe in words. Hopefully, after watching, you'll be just as inspired & invigorated as was I.
It's not a short video (about 50 minutes), so, get a drink, a snack & just kick back and enjoy
P.S. - It's pieces like this that the networks can never pull off in a weekly 30 minute show about detecting. It's not dumbed down for the masses, no stupid horseplay or antics, and no strong emphasis on dollars. It's about the action. The hunt. The
history.
