I found Treasure,too,
By
This review is from: They Found Treasure (Paperback)
this book was an easy read and very informative.
It also helped me find out about the history of the piece of eight I had recently aquired. And reminded me of the friendship my Parents & I had with one of the Salvagers in the book. If you read about these people and their sacrafices they made. Some of these people really had to fight our government just to do these life and death expeditions.Mel fisher wasn't the only one who lost alot. If you read this book you will find adventure and inspiation maybe you'll be the next one to find treasure
