Thanks for the heads up and just locked it into the dvr. I hope it does not turn into one of those survivor things or into their personal lives and gets off track as to what the content was to be about. However, one good thing about dvr's is that they all have to good old delete button.

They said the anchor was to large to retrieve . I think everyone would like an anchor in their front yard?

From the looks of their boat hauling up the anchor may not be a good idea, and I believe the Brazilian Gov. Gets all the artifacts including the treasure, if I remember correctly.
They only have a permit to look for the treasure.
They bought the musket ball to get the info on where the wreck was, so they could verify that at lest a ship from the right time period had at lest sailed close to Snake Island.

I'm kind of thinking 2 things on the cave bit.

he is either impressed by a Snake den & the amount of snakes there.

Or it's the words he will speak on the last Episode of the season
& we won't find out till season 2 that he is impressed by a Snake den
& the amount of snakes there. :laughing7:

personally I hope he sees Human Bones, or relics & they show them to us.

I would say I hope treasure , But I know better

Never give up Jeff, they will do ANY thing for ratings...even show bones, if they are real or not is another question.
I say he rolls out of there with a pit viper hanging on his shirt, now that would make good ratings! Right?

I'd be interested in Discovery Channel Insurance package ..waivers.. for the series.
And the alligator show also! Lol
I'd give the first episode a 7.2 out of 10

Okay, it's raining outside so I'll give it a try.

....ahhhhh, why would you take a silver coin to a local, have him tell you it's over 500 years old, and expect to not be watched and/or followed by him, his cousin, his cousins cousin, his mother, brother, half the cops and most of the government?

Why?

Why would you take that silver to a local?

I think it's funny they need proof before they set foot on the Island :tongue3:

Discovery ain't paying them to stay off shore.
even if they had been skunked in the water,
the camera Crew and Financing say They were going on the island :laughing7:

Time to watch. I should be able to watch commercial free now

Why, why, why go on the island.

You found silver, in the water, next to the anchor.

Why?

Pick up all the silver, and possibly other treasure first. Then go play with stupid snakes.

Why are you walking the cliff's. We have drones now....

Excal underwater? On a treasure quest? (sorry excel owners)

Mehgan- ahhh Mehgan... why... if you are diving for treasure how about pretending to hold a detector or a collection bag or a writing slate or a marker or a something...

Yes, because nobody would want to follow them after showing the guy in town a 500 year old piece of silver they found in the ocean nearby.

Just a bunch of Gringo's wandering aimlessly about on a secret mission and nobody see's them.

Shake the camera a lot, slide a rock or two around. Play scary music. OMG...

CTX 3030 and obligatory Minelab hat-

Yeah, okay-

Who's writing this script anyhow?

If you are a treasure hunter and hunt shipwrecks how come you cannot I.D a silver coin with the pillars of Hercules or Gilbralter.They called them cookies? They thought they were swollen up like a wet cookie but they were solid silver. It's what they look like before electrolysis .... Heck I even know a little...
Maybe the marker will tell them something. Looks like the snake guy passed out in next weeks episode. Yikes!

Hey, leave her alone! As long as we get at least one bikini shot of her per episode, I'll be watching this dull show until the end!
