    I want to go look for pearl ship! Especially since California has had so much rain this winter.

    You should make a playlist sir. For people like me that listen to treasure channels while working out or doing other things it allows us just to hit play and they keep playing! Which is of course a good thing. Also you would be shocked how many people do the same when going to sleep. I found this out on some of my bigger videos. Anyway you very well may know but have a reason not to but just in case.

    This is a great story. I bet the Indian went back to the ship and cleaned it out.

    If you find treasure, the government either throws up a fence and calls it a bombing range or declares it a protected Wilderness area. White Sands and Doc Noss for example. You must be top secret in your findings.

    Fantastic true history of the consequences of greed and avarice an authority. King Felipe really didn’t know what he was getting into when he sent cordone over there to extract more

    I just really don’t think theres any gold on the ship even if you do find the ship. Soo many people have been inside of it or explored it while they were traveling.

    What a piece of crap that Captain was to give those poor Indians some rags for all those beautiful pearls!!!!
    Serves him right to get hit in the chest with an arrow! ( I don’t mean Cupid’s arrow!)

    Great story friend!

    Supposedly it was looted at least partially by the Anza expedition. and there is a story about a farmer in the Imperial Valley who sold a box of rare gems and also utilized some planks from the brigantine. There’s also a Viking Ship that was last seen in the 30’s but was buried by a landslide in one of the higher canyons. You can see the old shorline from lake cahuilla if you look for it. And also some old fish traps. Great story no doubt and quite likely true.

    This was found a couple years ago. A pilot saw it and then went their.

    Excellent tale!

    Yeah the Salton sea used to have access to open waters and supposedly was at the bottom of the river that led to Cibola

    I wonder if a drone with lidar on it . could it read the location under sand.

  18. Wizard🧙‍♂️ on August 24, 2023 at 8:27 pm

    Would this be similar to the lore of "The Ship of the Mojave"?? Love what you’re doing on your channel! Keep up the greatness,sir!!

    There is an old viking ship up in the hills of anza borrego desert east of san Diego, an earth quack covered it in the late 80s. An old man lived at the bottom of the valley floor and had built his goat fence out of the ship timbers. Was selling the jewels in Los Angeles every year at a jewel auction.
