Now days theirs more money in walking the Florida coast for bricks of cocaine!!!!!👍
cool
Wasn’t the Atocia already salvaged by Mel Fisher’s operation? Theres a cool museum in Key West.
The Spanish Galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha was discovered in the 1980s by Mel Fisher and his family. That shipwreck is not worth $7 million dollars, it is estimated to be well over $500 million dollars worth of Treasure. Also the Flor De Lamar is not the richest shipwreck in the world. The richest shipwreck to be discovered as of right now is the Spanish Galleon San Jose. She was discovered in 2015. When she was discovered her cargo was worth $17 Billion Dollars 7 years later she is worth $22 billion dollars. The San Jose sank off the coast of Cartagena Columbia in 1708 in a battle with a British Ship.
How can u say 7 million for the Atocha it has yielded the Fisher foundation 1/2 billion dollars to date. Very misleading facts & do your research before stating these false claims
Treasure diving is dangerous and should be done in group of experienced divers equipped with the required gear, a lot of people died pursuing their dream to find treasures.
It is no joyride.
For the 1st one at 0:19 you mention $375000 and show a picture of 63 gold bars. For that amount of cash you would have one half of a 400 oz ingot.
It’s really misleading. Those one the picture might be 100 gramm tiny bars only but those come in a different shape almost as small as a quarter of a credit card 4 times the thickness of one credit card.
100 gramm gold bars are tiny 27 mm x 47 mm x 4 mm.
I assume you are talking about the price at the time of the accident.
Well there’s a huge difference than, just make it clear please.
5:12 ok dude just to let you know It is called "Flor do Mar". "Flor de la mar" is spanish, not portuguese
Lose the frantic bongo drumming, it is distracting & has no relation to the content of your vlog & makes it difficult to absorb what u are saying, & I tuned out 1/2way thru.
From a family of marine contractors and underwater salvagers. All of us are now too old for this. Back in the day we had 4-man decompression tank, Unisuits,twin Lister deasil compressors, Aquadyne& Kirby Morgan helmuts, 20 ton 360 degree 75 ft. boom crane, 135ft.workboat. The real lesson is there Never is something for nothing! Once after a storm we anchored off the stern of a wreck and found someone left their under water cutting of a 26ft. Monel metal prop laying there for us. Chugged down Lake Huron to Detriot and made a quick 11,000$ laffing all the way. Pulled 4,000 tons of bundled structual steel off the Monrovia. Under Water salvage and big paydays do exsist, but it’s a crap game very dangerous at the least. My dad was Chief Petty Officer in UDT. Guys like Mel Fisher were many many years at it b/4 their paydays. B/4 GPS it was a cowboy eara that governments hadn’t figured out how to get their hands in your work.
At 3:46 Atocha? $7 million? How can you be so far off?
They salvaged it in the 80’s in today’s value close to a billion dollars!
I found something really cool
Spanish kings back in the day…
Dam
The Atocha has already been found.
This wasn’t researched at all…
Wait…! What do I need to do?!! But the map… where’s the map!!
😁
