I hope the new show will be better then the Joke Island" show with a half hour of old episodes and 15 minutes of commercials and 10 minutes of new information then 5 minutes of credits Brought to you by the The Lagina brothers, They spent a lot of money and the MD man found more on the surface.

The really funny thing is that with all the equipment and deep digging the best finds have come from a metal detector within 6 inches of the surface. Lol

yeah! dumb old mel fisher! if he was smart he would have made money all those years having a tv show pay him
bet he would have made more from the show than the actual gold

For many of us, including me, becoming rich from treasure hunting is way down the list of reasons why we do it.

Most of Mel Fisher's investment money to find the Atocha came from "National Geographic" filming him swimming in the waters for a year or two before he actually found it with other investors.

Mel Fisher formed a long series of one-year limited partnerships. Investors received a return if anything was found within the one-year life of the agreement. This was to avoid SEC registration.

Look at the famous National Geographic article (January 1965) by Kip Wagner - "Drowned Galleons Yield Spanish Gold." There's a photo in there of "one of Wagner's divers" - it's Mel.

Good luck to all,

The Old Bookaroo
