"A long quest for booty from the Spanish colonial era appears to be culminating in Chile with the announcement by a group of adventurers that they have found an estimated 600 barrels of gold coins and Incan jewels on the remote Pacific island. "

Rrrrrr!

[gcruse]

I don't suppose there's any move to give back to the Incans that which was stolen. Didn't think so.

[Candor7]

Keep the treasure, just gimme one of those robots !

"The announcement set off ownership claims.

It's mine, I tell you, mine!

10 popes visited there????

Typically stuff went from the New World to Europe not the other way around.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Here, I fixed it for you.

1. Find treasure
2. Remove treasure from site to a known disinterested country secure site known only to you.
3. Announce treasure. Consider lying about source.

Then, in the case of missing businessman Jose Yuraszeck, Arturito was able to analyse the soil and identify the molecular composition of human bones, allowing investigators to dig straight to the body of the murder victim.

Wow! We need a robot like "Arturito" on Oak Island

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oak Island? Are you nuts? Get it over to Iraq! Uncover some WMD's and the whole National Media empire of the Democratic Party, and the democratic party itself will go nuclear! The radioactive fallout would make the democrats and their media propaganda arm the most hated people on the planet! Add to that find specific plans related to attacks on the U.S. and ties to Al Quida, maybe even a few French, German, and Russian parts and the U.N. Collapses too!!!!

A guy can dream can't he??

Treasure:

1) Find treasure.
2) Lose treasure.


Reality sucks. :-)

"awesome story but don't trust a thing off the guardian"

thanks. we get a lot of it posted here. It's just a tabloid?

[fight_truth_decay]

Don't count on any vast discoveries off parts of the coastal US as the Abandoned Shipwreck Act laws dictate that... " abandoned shipwreck in or on the public lands of the United States is the property of the United States Government. Any abandoned shipwreck in or on any Indian lands is the property of the Indian tribe owning such lands".

Whats on board or on site of these ships..goes to the State and/or Government. Even though it is loosely stated the finder be, as stated: " recognize(d)the interests of individuals and groups engaged in shipwreck discovery and salvage". The "finder" would be lucky if even his or her name were mentioned in the State museum to which it would be available to for public view.

There's a lot of great finds out there, maybe not as grand as the "600 barrels of loot"; but artifacts of historical importance (cannons, ivory, artifacts, etc) remain quietly resting in the "deep" and kept a secret by many commercial fishermen/ divers who's occupation has them diving for scallops, sea urchins, etc.

State salvage laws may vary..that I have not researched. Just your story caught my eye and know in the State where I reside..you'd be lucky if you even got a handshake.
