I've never seen a treasure hunter search for gold and valuable coins without using a metal detector. They gave up searching for coins in the seaweed because they couldnt see the bottom. A detector would have solved that problem.
imagine being the first treasure hunter to find the part of the ship that was the toilet and grabbed it back to the surface and its now in a museum because of you
I Personally would live to have been Born in a time where space travel is Possible and we have Faster then Light Engines but then I would probably never be born
@@mexicant407 same here born in the wrong continent, country.. there's a place I want to go to but can't.. if I were American or Canadian or English or French or at least Jewish all I have to do is pay for a ticket and jump on next ✈️🛫 😆
All those years looking for the sun, you find it and THEN research to find its already been found? Uhh... I guess thats why I dig coins, in the dirt, with a shovel.
Ben Cropp is a respected diver who does not plant things to be found on camera. That divers helmet was an amazing find and he would probably find a lot more relating to the wrecks in that area if he hung around but the sticky mud wouldn't give up its treasures easily. I absolutely love Ben's videos but they tend to flit about too much between locations and even many years. Amazing finds though. I wish I had the ability and nerve to dive.
be a sailor in 1950 crew member is in the toilet Really need to pee pee in empty bottle dont want it to spill over the deck so stopper it and leave it outside the toilet ship sinks 50 years later john finds mysterious bottle
@@williamshaw8106 So then "treasure" was used in the general sense of "cargo"? Seems like a bit of a loose stretched usage of the word "treasure". I'm a Dutch national, and when the Dutch talk about treasure in the 17th century, it's not about normal cargo like spices, but about literal gold and silver looted from the Spanish (such as by famous Dutch privateer Piet Hein). The cargo of the normal Dutch ships in the 17th century (i.e. the commercial fleet, not the privateer fleet) was spices and slaves, not precious metals. This is in contrast to the Spanish, who did transport lots of gold and silver in their cargo ships (from their gold/silver sources in America).
SEEMS LIKE A DREAM $$$$ IT COST BIG MONEY FOR THAT HOBBY $$$ THROW THINGS BACK ??? HMM $$ GOOD LUCK LOOKING FOR HELP ??? Metal detection?? Not on film anyway?? NICE HE ALREADY HAS LOOT???
It's always silly to hear i went stolen gold but doesn't care about the history of a cannon or something historical. If u want gold go dig it up. There are many things i have wanted in life & i got it. Gold is not one of them
It must be thrilling to hold that much history in your hands!

Thank you! I really enjoyed this!!
Luv this dudes enthusiasm 👌 wish I could sail with ya my guy !!!!!
That cute little Yorkie is living the life, huh?
I love the ocean
The soundtrack really made this a life aquatic.
Fantastic! This family is awesome 😎
Seems to be a home movie showcasing this older man and all his nice toys!
Ben Cropp and his son have made some fantastic documentaries. I love to watch them.
Seems largely faked , especially that divers helmet
Yeah that diving helmet was in really good and clean condition. Plus the drawing in the rock with the black marker with the psychic hmmm
😂😂😂👍@@RebeccaGambling-kr8im

Great documentary 🍿
Mockumentary
Great show. So sad to see all that garbage on the beach.
As a diver of 34 years I was born in the wrong part of the world. The barrier reef was and always will be my dream to explore.
Me 3 I was born in the wrong century & decade

As someone who LOVES shark tooth hunting and hunting ginseng, this looks like it would be SO MUCH damn fun!
This was brilliant. Cannot imagine being able to treasure hunt using only a snorkel and mask.
From Oban on te West Coast Of Scotland where it rains all day every day thank you.Hope you find that mother load...todays the day..
Todays the day k mel
👍 13！This is amazing my friend! Love it! 👍
Reminds me of the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou…
Just curious... what year was this filmed/made??
60,000 pounds of gold would be worth 1,728,000,000.00 U.S. dollars today.
Ounces NOT pounds
Looks like an interesting guy to hang around with...
Now tell me something , what is the use for treassure diving if you have to put it all back to the bottom.
i'm pretty sure he would've kept everything and just "filmed" himself putting stuff back. It's not Ben's style to put things back.
I think you’re a clever storyteller😎🇺🇸
Smells like BS
😆 😂 @@Thelostgoldhunters
Never heard of metal detectors lol
And all looking for the cash box in the tern 😂
All those years looking for the sun, you find it and THEN research to find its already been found? Uhh... I guess thats why I dig coins, in the dirt, with a shovel.
Enjoy your video.
Why can you keep the coins but have to put other stuff back? makes no sense!
You can't keep the coins, they have to be handed in to the museum. Theyre government property
@ 4.21 is that a crocodile ?
I don't see a crocodile 🐊
hmmmm...by chance...A DIVERS HELMET!RARE.COINCIDENCE?

Dutch "treasure ships" ?? First time I hear this term applied to the Dutch. Pray tell, which kind of treasure were the Dutch transporting ?
The Dutch East India Company..

Jesus Christ was NOT a Caucasian man...✌
Jesus Cristo no era un hombre Caucasico... ✌
How do YOU know?
"He" probably wasn't even a man at all 🙄
Probably related to where he was from? A good Jewish boy.@@rondj1965
Who said he was? What difference does it make?
Buy Some Metal Detectors!
