Falls under Rule #1 look it up, dig it up, shut up.freddy williams said:TH'ers have it really bad when they think they can organize a hunt on a treasure site where I am for sure the Gov. Is watching with greedy lttle eyes just waiting for a group like this willing to take a chance on something the goverment has either found, or is keeping hidden, or is some kind of cover up but more power to anyone who can pull something like this off I wouldn't have anything to do with it or the publicity it is going to promote HH everyone good luck and watch your 6......
