Just one of these treasures would be worth over a billion dollars in today’s money, and we’re on the trail of two of them. We aren’t looking for the treasures themselves, but the remains of those who hid them and others who spent their lives hunting for these treasures over the past 450 years. There’s loot hidden by Spanish sailors to prevent it from being captured by Sir Francis Drake, and other treasure from a wrecked galleon salvaged by natives in the 1700’s.
I’ll tell you what man- in my opinion your videos are impeccable and brilliantly edited. I think your abandoned videos are even better than the Proper People’s videos.
Used to go to Catalina all the time. Wish I had thot to buy a place there back then wen it was affordable!
Very interesting video. Looked like tracing treasure hunters is a fun business! Great job!
What is this Oak Island Ns?
And I’m sure you know the history of the giant Human bones buried on the island
Have you done a story on the Steamboat Sultana
Don’t dig to deep, you might uncover the giants the Smithsonian worked so hard to cover up.
Thank you for sharing you adventures with us. Love the channel.
Another great documentary Tom!
love you guys another great vid. from Preston England 👍
Boats & gold, sounds like a catalina wine mixer 🤣. Keep up the great work 👍
It is really weird that with treasure in Britain, the finder is rewarded with the treasure’s current value but in the US the finder is screwed.
Very fine work sir!
IT’S THE FUCKING CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!"
The quality of your content is steadily improving. You’re now my favorite channel on YouTube. 👏🏻
Thanks for this ver informative documentary.PS.:I would never tell,if I found that Treasure.
I’m getting my shovel. Where should I dig?🤣🤣🤣
Super interesting episode. Great narration.
That’s just barely enough money to split between two cheating Democrats and not have one kill the other.
Brilliant video as always! But one I find one thing rather odd. Upon finding out that the hold of the captured Spanish ship was empty, surely Sir Francis Drake must have drawn the conclusion that the crew of said galleon hid the treasure. So, couldn‘t he have forced the crew of the galleon to reveal the whereabouts of the treasure? If so, the treasure should have been transported to England, right?
Why is this man not working for the history channel? Oh, because he doesn’t talk about aliens. I love your work, keep it up!!!
You need to be a Fulltime explorer! Great work again!
I’ll clue you folks, I found the treasure in 1968 and am now comfortably ensconced in the trappings of wealth…..
Why is the woman on that boat dressed so strangely?
Each one of your videos is blows me away with its production quality and interesting topics!
Another great episode. Nice to hear a little love for Bill Burrud too!
Well, atleast we viewers found a treasure of a video. 🙂
Typical story of the natives trolling the white man. And good for them, honestly!
WE ALL KNOW YOU FOUND THE TREASURE! YOU ARE JUST EVADING TAXES!
Wrigley purchased Catalina to find the treasure. Wrigley found something on San Nicholas Island not far from Catalina.
Great explore indeed thanks for taking us along with you
if i found it the last ones i would tell is the US gooberment
YouTube please stop with the scam appetizements
Great video! I’d like to know more about the sources you used concerning visits by European vessels prior to Spanish colonization of California in 1769. Here’s a little article I wrote on the subject: https://visionsofcalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/12/spanish-manila-galleons-in-california.html
I went today, no treasure there 🤷🏽♂️
i always really enjoy the ambiance of these videos. they’re very relaxing to watch, as far as adventures go! great for a quiet evening in or a sleepless night, and i always learn a few things too. great work
Great video! Love the Catalina history and scenery. Thank you!
I can’t count that many zeros in the value of this treasure.
If anyone finds this treasure, nobody will know about it.
Interesting story…great one for the campfire and even better being true as well. Thank you for sharing 😀
Outside Native Americans, the Spaniards weren’t good at fighting. Brits regularly clobbered in battles.
Yes, some flying fish flap their wings. I have scooted along in a motorboat and had these fish jump and fly for many yards about 10 feet from my eyes. They flap their wings like a hummingbird and they do fly, not glide.
Keeping me entertained on the bus to college. Well done!
I’m also a little tempted to go after the treasure myself. 1 billion dollars? Come on!
this here seriously is professional quality editing, storytelling and filming – the production quality is on par with TV. The storytelling and relevance is exceeding TV.
hey… that’s where i live
The trick to buried treasure is not telling anyone you found it.
For example, a Spanish ship wrecked in a hurricane near Florida. The wreckage was found but the bell went missing. Spain wants the bell. The US government wants to find it for them. I can neither confirm nor deny knowledge of this bell’s whereabouts
Awesome video!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Gripping stuff.
How was the burgers 🍔?
