I remember reading about this story shortly before the treasure was found. The romanticism of the adventure did lure me in, though I wouldn't have looked for it (I'm not on the same continent).
There is an incredible amount of cynicism that the treasure did not exist though, and there were lawsuits implying that.
Personally, I appreciate the story for what it is, and admire someone for having the idea of doing it, not for the money but for someone else's sense of adventure.
- ip26 6y agoThe history of treasure hunting is riddled with hoaxes.

- sk5t 6y agoIs it not possible he enjoyed and felt very passionately about being a crank?
- ketamine__ 6y agoWhat evidence is there pre-treasure that he is a crank?
