ones gotta have a "dream" to live --or else "life" is just the daily wage slave grinding out the bucks to pay the bills till you drop dead (yippee "life" sux ), --so the arverage joes gotta have a "dream" to live.

the big "find" of treasure ( aka as "easy money") or that big lotto win that will give you the easy life *

the sad opart is once the poor fellow gets his "break" --then often its a nightmare in the making * --first thing --the grubbermint steps in wanting a huge hunk of his "luck" -- in the case of florida for exsample IF the state issues you a permit --which you have to apply and pay for to legally harvest what (highly doubtful)

I met Mel, and invested in him.

I also met his archaeologist, Duncan Mathewson, and talked one on one with him for some time on several occasions, and I was impressed with the work these two did together.

I wish all the best to Sean, his dream, and for sharing his dream with us, as Mel did.

"Today's the day"!

Sean is very much like his grandfather. It is good to see yet another generation of Fishers involved in the business.

Duncan still occasionally assists in the research & archaeology on the Atocha & Margarita sites.

I ran into both those guys last week.

That's cool. My cousin was an original investor with Mel as well. He came out very well. I still enjoy my coins he gave me before he passed away. Today is the day.
