When you see gold laying on the ocean floor, it looks just like this. It's so shiny and beautiful.

Mel had a very good sense about his obligation to history. When he found all this stuff, he didn't just put it in vaults or give to the investors to sell. He put the best of the best in the museum for the public domain.

This is a genuine, honest-to-God treasure map.

We find and record everything they had on the vessels. Swords, guns, eating utensils, even gold toothpicks.

Everything I know I learned from Mel and the talented people who worked for him. History. Archaeology. Geology. Electronics. You name it.

I got 65 bucks a week and got to live on the boat. I didn't get any share of the treasure when I started. But again, you start at the bottom and work your way up.
