Rocky 344 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dakota thanks for torturing my sole with this beautiful ocean find. Imagine the impact this find had on the first persons eyes laid on the treasure. Like the feeling of a jackpot winner times a billion because you worked to find it and the unique environment and perhaps the spotty sunlight or bright flashlight shimmering off the gold the first time in over a century as the first witness,,, the greatest instant gratification ever I suppose...!!!! Mind blowing!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LipCa 357 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Would be dangerous to find if you had a weak heart.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlakMagnet 412 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 If you have not read "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" by Gary Kinder you are missing one of the most fascinating and intriguing accounts of a treasure hunt ever written. It is the story of the search for the S. S. Central America and if you are interested in this sort of thing, you will be riveted, it's wild. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was hard to put down! One of the best books I have read along with Diary of a 49er and Bacon and Beans From a Gold Pan. It's hard enough to find time to prospect these days let alone read a book, but flak says it correct. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
