'Yellow brick road' leading to Mass. pirate booty



BREWSTER, Mass. -- He calls it "the yellow brick road" because it's literally sprinkled with gold dust.

This road runs along Cape Cod's shifting seafloor, and undersea explorer Barry Clifford believes it leads to undiscovered treasure from the wreck of the pirate ship Whydah.
About two weeks ago, Clifford and his dive team took a previously unplanned trip back to the wreck site, and Clifford returned more convinced than ever that the road he's exploring is a path to riches.
"We think we're very, very close," Clifford said.

Isn't it funny that in just about every treasure hunt, right when they're about the find the mother lode, the hunt season ends, or the weather turns, or the money runs out, or there's mechanical problems.

In this case, the concretions suggest (to me at least) that they really are on the verge.....
