$1 billion treasure hunt
A Brevard man's team battles adversity to find a 1612 galleon.

Rich McKay | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted October 8, 2006

JAMA, Ecuador -- Haig Jacobs emerges from the Pacific waters and punches a triumphant fist skyward.

"It's gold, fellows! It's pure gold!" he shouts to fellow treasure hunters aboard the salvage boat Nautilus.

Great story. I wondered when I read the area if it hadn't been about the ship that I heard Marx had gotten involved on a hunt for.

Thanks for posting.

Sweet Sue,
What a fantastic story, thanks for the link.
It gives me such a lift, and goes to show that time, energy and research can reap marvellous rewards.
Best wishes.
Crowsnest.

Exactly!!!

I'm sure alot of us could think back and remember the amount of news and media coverage Mel Fisher received with his recovery operation.

That would be good Gregg. Toolboxdiver seems to like to read about shipwrecks...especially if there is sunken treasure involved. Could be the pirate in him. Grin
