00:00Yeah, keep looking.
00:10We have got to find something.
00:14What have we here?
00:16What do you got, pal?
00:16Holy crap.
00:18What are you doing here?
00:24Take a look at that.
00:27Holy s***.
00:30What did I tell you?
00:30Yeah.
00:31Huh?
00:33It's known as the Death Coast.
00:37An area of rough sea in the North Atlantic that's claimed more than 6,000 vessels.
00:45Casting those aboard and treasure into its turbulent depths.
00:50We got to turn this thing around.
00:52Here we go.
00:52Gold, silver, and other priceless objects from the wrecked ships.
01:00Oh my God, you're not going to believe this.
01:02Lies scattered across the ocean floor.
01:05Gold coin right there.
01:06That is gorgeous.
01:08But salvaging here has been banned for more than a decade, thanks to rampant looting.
01:13Now.
01:17Storm is a-brewin'.
01:19Whoa, boy!
01:22After a long battle, third-generation shipwreck hunter Jeff McKinnon has won the exclusive rights to dive in these treacherous waters.
01:31Yeah!
01:31But he only has eight weeks to do it.
01:35Are you okay?
01:36Can Jeff and his team find the treasure he seeks?
01:40Find me something.
01:41Before the stormy waters of the Death Coast?
01:43It's time for us to get out of here.
01:45Pull the map.
01:45Pull the map.
01:47Make diving impossible.
01:48Five weeks into an eight-week expedition.
02:03Come on, divers!
02:04Let's do it.
02:05Jeff and his team of divers continue their search for the lost Fever Sham convoy,
02:09four British ships that sank off the coast of Nova Scotia's Scattery Island in 1711.
02:15Accompanying the Fever Sham were three transport ships, the Mary, the Joseph, and the Neptune,
02:23each of which was believed to be carrying significant funds.
02:28I am a target.
02:30I am a target.
02:30I am a target.
02:31I am a target.
02:31I am a target.
02:31I am a target.
02:31I am a target.
02:32I am a target.
02:32Last week, while searching the seabed west of the Fever Sham, the team made an intriguing discovery.
02:38Look at it right there.
02:40That's an M.
02:41I see it too.
02:41A bell fragment bearing the letter M leads Jeff to suspect that he might have located the final resting place of the Mary.
02:49That picture right after M, there's an A.
02:53So Jeff is heading back to Scattery Island to a new dive spot, hoping to find more evidence of the transport ships or their potential payloads.
03:02I think it's going to be a great day.
03:04We are crossing the Western Breaker into uncharted territory, way past the Fever Sham.
03:13Jeff's research indicates the three support ships were pushed westward past the Fever Sham onto the rocks of Scattery Island.
03:24It's a particularly rough section of the coast where the shoals extend for hundreds of yards just under the surface of the water.
03:32Right in there, look.
03:35You're going to have to moor somewhere in here.
03:37Yeah.
03:39This place here is destruction personified.
03:43That rugged beauty will bite you.
03:45All right.
03:50Here's the deal.
03:51Have a look around, and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the outer reaches here of the Hatches Rocks, and then we're going to work our way in.
03:59And hopefully we find some trail of wreckage between there and there.
04:04Let's go.
04:06See if we can bang out for it today, guys.
04:09We can do this.
04:10Everything ready?
04:11Tanks up.
04:13Goodbye.
04:14Go find me something for the love of God.
04:16Come on, check.
04:33This is topside.
04:34Do you copy?
04:35Over.
04:37Copy that.
04:40The team is working in shallow water, which can be especially hazardous.
04:56As you're on topside, be advised, we've got a lot of surge here, and we're getting tossed around pretty good.
05:03It's going to be almost impossible to work us out here.
05:09It's really pushing around.
05:12Are you thinking you want to abort the dive?
05:14Is that what you're saying?
05:17Negative topside.
05:18Do we get it?
05:20Just a lot of surge.
05:23My little ground swells.
05:25In shallow waters, the action of waves breaking on the shoreline creates a surge.
05:31A violent back-and-forth movement of the water, making it almost impossible for the divers to navigate under the surface or hold their position.
05:42Well, do you want to come out in deeper water a little bit?
05:46All right, Tanks.
05:47I'm trying to work myself in a little deeper water here.
05:51All right, well, move out.
05:53Out, out, out.
05:54And the boys will follow you.
05:56Copy.
05:59Oh, my.
06:00Yeah, sucky.
06:03Sucks on top, sucks on bottom.
06:06We've got a lot of ground swell here, and that wind come on against the ground swell, and then you've got the tide on the ebb.
06:12Conditions in there are almost unworkable.
06:19Not seeing anything yet.
06:22The visibility's not great at the moment.
06:25Heading west.
06:26After four hours of diving, the team has moved 100 feet along the rugged coastline.
06:35So far, the search has come up empty.
06:40Stay alert.
06:41Are you guys still keeping on that south-west trajectory?
06:45We are headed in a southerly direction, and we are not seeing anything.
06:51Over.
06:51Copy that.
06:52Copy that.
06:54Take your time.
06:59Frustrated by the lack of progress, diver Dan Griego moves back closer to shore.
07:04We have a good sand and gravel bottom here.
07:13Not much kelp.
07:16Copy that, sand and gravel.
07:18Keep up the search.
07:19Got a hit here.
07:27What do you got?
07:29Can't quite see it yet.
07:32Hey, Mike, can you come over and help me take this?
07:36Copy that.
07:40What is that?
07:43I might have a piece of timber.
07:45Despite the encouraging discovery, time is running out for the divers.
07:52I'm digging, but I only have about five minutes of air left.
07:57So far, we've got about six feet of it dug.
08:05Topside, we're both low on air, so we're going to have to surface here.
08:09Mark it, please, and leave your buoy stuck to it.
08:11If you can get a good mark on us, then we can keep where this is at.
08:19We're heading up now.
08:28Okay, we got a mark there.
08:29We got a mark.
08:30Good, good, good, good, good.
08:31Good job, guys.
08:32Good way to get that marked.
08:33As the team research for the next dive, Jim, Jeff, and Dan review the underwater footage,
08:43hoping to identify the object they've just found.
08:47So, Dan, what am I looking at here?
08:49When I initially got the hit, it's probably down about 10 inches into the sand,
08:55and I cleared off about 8 inches, and I could tell that it's wood.
08:59Yeah, I can see it.
09:00Plain as day.
09:01That is a plank off the side of a ship.
09:05Yep.
09:06What do you think it is?
09:08I think it's a plank off the side of a ship.
09:09So do I.
09:11There's no going around it.
09:13This plank, what's it doing here all by itself?
09:16I have no idea.
09:17Could you lift it up?
09:19It only had one end of it showing, so we had to clear the whole thing off
09:23and then see how long it goes.
09:24Yeah, you've got to be careful with this anyway, because it's wood, you know,
09:28and wood that's been underwater for hundreds of years is rather fragile.
09:32One piece like that on its own erratic?
09:36Uh-uh.
09:36That came from a bigger section of the ship.
09:38Eager to find more clues,
10:08Jeff sends the divers back down to investigate.
10:11The good news is, is that this spot is sandy and has less kelp.
10:16The bad news is that it's right up on shore, right up into the rocks,
10:21and the current is a monster.
10:24To aid in the search, diver Dan Griego is taking the scooter down
10:29to help uncover more of the plank.
10:32All right, don't f*** this up.
10:35Find me something.
10:36Below the surface, the clock is ticking as high tide is fast approaching.
10:55We'll have less than an hour to dive close to the rocks,
10:58because that's when the tide picks back up.
11:00And when it does, I'm going to have to pull them out,
11:02because then you're going to have the tide going against the wind,
11:05and that's going to create swell and waves.
11:08Okay, the piece of wood's set up pretty much how I first dug it out.
11:16We're going to start cleaning this off.
11:19Do you want to give me the scooter?
11:23Back up.
11:23So as not to damage the fragile wood,
11:29the divers used the propellers of the underwater scooter
11:32to quickly and carefully remove the sand and gravel,
11:36revealing something underneath it.
11:40Top side, this is Griego.
11:42It's like we have about a five-foot piece of timber,
11:47copper sheeting on it.
11:49Copper sheeting.
11:50That's a good sign.
11:51A thin layer of copper turned green by the salt in the water
11:56covers the face of the plank.
11:59Digging a bit here. Hold on.
12:02And as more sand is removed,
12:05more hidden artifacts are revealed.
12:09Cop side, I have something here.
12:12It's quite small.
12:14I'll bring it up to the surface.
12:18Griego is surfacing on the buoy line.
12:21Notice the divers, boat is going to retrieve Dan,
12:25so keep your eyes to the sky.
12:35Because the plank is too big and too fragile,
12:39the divers once again leave it behind.
12:43What do you got for me?
12:45We have no idea.
12:45But this time they return with a handful of artifacts found nearby.
12:52A piece of loose copper sheathing
12:54and a copper nail.
12:57And the board that we're looking at,
12:58it's a board, it's not a timber.
13:00It is an inch and a half thick
13:03by maybe eight feet long, maybe at the most.
13:07How about width?
13:07It's probably like a two-by-eight.
13:10But it is old and it is brittle
13:12and it's not a timber from a ship by any stretch.
13:16The plank looks way too small to be part of the hull.
13:19What's this plank doing here?
13:21I have no idea.
13:24Yeah, this is a mystery, all right.
13:25There was nothing around it.
13:27If somebody handed this to me from another shipwreck,
13:29I'd certainly say that this is a copper sheathing nail.
13:33Normally ships of that era were sheathed in lead.
13:37That's another head scratcher.
13:39All right, we're going to have to come back another day.
13:42That's all we can do.
13:43The team is anxious to search for more clues,
13:46but the tide is now at its highest.
13:48And so is the level of risk.
13:52When you're dealing with the ocean,
13:55every variable counts.
13:57Tide is something you're always having to fight against.
13:59When the tide changes, it makes the swell even bigger.
14:03And we're really close into shore.
14:05I don't want to lose any of my divers on the rocks.
14:10Let's go home, Johnny.
14:12It's going to pick up.
14:15I don't have time to mess around here.
14:17Every minute of every single dive is precious to me.
14:21But safety is always my top priority.
14:23Later that evening, Jim meets with nautical archaeologist Annalise Dempsey
14:36to help solve the mystery of the wooden plank
14:38and see if it has any connection to the convoy.
14:42Annalise is a professional sailor
14:44and studies the history of wooden ships at Texas A&M University.
14:49So Annalise, I've got some video that you might be interested in.
14:53We did find a plank with what appears to be copper sheathing.
14:57But we'll let you take a look at it.
14:58Yeah, let's take a look.
15:00Wow, look at that.
15:08Okay, so it looks like it's at least four or five feet long.
15:12The thickness is pretty thin.
15:14Okay, it's pretty thin.
15:15And it's clearly covered with some type of metal.
15:18The sheet metal is a little bit interesting to me.
15:22This could potentially be a powder locker, a powder magazine, munition storage.
15:27Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
15:28And it's lined with metal, so it's lined with copper or it's lined with lead.
15:33It's thin, so it's definitely not iron.
15:35You can't store gunpowder in anything iron
15:37because you don't want your ship to explode.
15:39Yeah.
15:41During the age of sail,
15:42ships stored gunpowder and other explosives
15:45in a purpose-built room called a powder locker or magazine.
15:49For safety, it was usually reinforced with a non-reactive metal,
15:54like copper or lead, which would resist sparking.
15:58Could any of the Fever Shams' convoy ships have contained a powder locker?
16:03This was found away from the Fever Shams.
16:06So we believe that this is one of the three transport ships.
16:09So why would a merchant ship have a powder magazine?
16:11Well, it could be protecting itself.
16:14It could be transporting weapons.
16:16We're likely holding valuables.
16:23Building off the previous day's discovery,
16:26the team heads back to Scattery Island
16:28to continue searching for the Fever Shams' convoy.
16:32Trade in there, look.
16:34I want to go outside, ragged rocks there, and pull in.
16:37The submerged wooden plank was uncovered on the far side of the Western Breakers,
16:43where powerful ocean currents meet the jagged edge of the Death Coast.
16:47Let's head west.
16:59Right behind you.
17:00The plan is to start where they found the plank,
17:05then spread out, moving west in search of more artifacts.
17:10The current naturally pushes down the southern side of Scattery,
17:14and it'll push anything and everything in its wake all to the west.
17:18Right behind you.
17:27Let's not spread too far.
17:31I'm going to move over to the right,
17:32so I'm a little bit away from you guys on the other side,
17:35down into this other crack.
17:36Top side, I have a hit.
17:50I'm not sure what it is yet.
17:54Dig it up, Mike.
17:55I want to know what it is.
17:57Copy that.
18:00While Mike Haas begins to investigate a hit on his metal detector,
18:04the other divers continue their search.
18:08We've got to get moving.
18:11Copy that.
18:15Outside, this is Griego.
18:17I have a hit.
18:18Working it now.
18:20Copy that, Griego.
18:21He's got a hit too.
18:23Now we're getting somewhere.
18:25Talk to me here, fellas.
18:26What do you got?
18:29This is Griego.
18:30I have about an 8-foot section of concretion.
18:37Mmm.
18:39You got some good news.
18:40I'm digging here.
18:42Across the top side, I have a big piece of concretion.
18:46Copy that.
18:47He's got a concretion too.
18:48We're into something.
18:50Over decades, metals from the shipwreck corrode in the salty ocean water,
18:55forming oxides and rust.
18:57Sediments settle onto the material,
18:59and calcium carbonate from the salt water binds the components together.
19:03Barnacles and corals contribute to the mass of the object.
19:07The result is a rock-like concretion that may encase artifacts,
19:12often preserving them as time capsules beneath the sea.
19:15There's concretion everywhere.
19:23We have a massive field of concretion here.
19:28It is gigantic.
19:30And you know what that means?
19:31It means shipwreck.
19:35As these objects form,
19:37small items like coins can be fused together
19:39and preserved in the cement-like crust.
19:42Break it off.
19:45Can you break it off?
19:48In my experience,
19:50concretion beds are often the repositories for the valuables.
19:56That concretion could hide treasure.
19:58While Jeff and the team try to surface the concretions,
20:08back at base camp in Lewisburg,
20:10team archaeologist Jim Sinclair is meeting with historian Jenna Leahy.
20:15Jim hopes Jenna may be able to connect the copper plank,
20:19believed to be part of a powder room,
20:20to one of the convoy ships.
20:23So what have you got for us, Jenna?
20:24Yeah, so we've been looking into the transport ships
20:27that accompanied the Feversham in 1711.
20:30The Mary, the Joseph, and the Neptune.
20:33And found the Neptune's letter of Mark.
20:35Wow.
20:36This letter of Mark is an official warrant from the Admiralty,
20:40authorizing the Neptune to set upon, by force of arms,
20:43other enemy vessels,
20:45and to seize their goods, monies, and merchandise.
20:48Essentially, giving it a license to steal from other ships.
20:51So if the Neptune could engage in privateering,
20:56it likely carried an arsenal of weapons.
20:59Could this copper plank be a remnant of the Neptune's powder room,
21:03where munitions and gunpowder were stored?
21:05And was the Neptune seizing riches from enemy ships?
21:09A really interesting part of this story is that one year later, in 1712,
21:17a ship called the HMS Sapphire was dispatched to Cape Breton
21:22in order to conduct a salvage operation.
21:24But not only the Feversham, also the Neptune as well.
21:28Wow.
21:29They knew all of the survivors from these shipwrecks
21:32had already been sent back to New England,
21:34so they certainly weren't there to collect people.
21:36Right.
21:36So they were there to collect the valuables from these ships.
21:40Holy smokes.
21:50Meanwhile, back on the water,
21:52the dive team continues to work the concretion field.
22:00We're into something.
22:01Copy that.
22:15Unfortunately, concretion can be very, very tough to recover.
22:19Dive after dive, the team struggles to extract
22:39any of the heavy pieces embedded in the C-4.
22:43We're going to need a pry bar down here.
22:45It's really frustrating for not only them, but for me as well,
22:49because they spend a lot of time digging out a hit,
22:51and they use their air up faster.
22:55Top side, Greg, go low on air.
22:58Surfacing.
23:00Copy that.
23:00That's a colossal pain in my ass.
23:11While searching the seabed near Scattery Island,
23:14Jeff McKinnon's team has discovered a field of concretion
23:17that might be hiding artifacts from one of the Fever Sham convoy ships.
23:21I've been working on concretion for the last 15 minutes or so.
23:27But despite their efforts,
23:29the divers are unable to remove anything small enough
23:32to bring to the surface.
23:34I'm low on air, and I'm going to the surface.
23:36Over.
23:38Copy that.
23:40As the sun sets on a long day of diving,
23:43the team must press pause on their attempt
23:45to salvage any of the concretion.
23:47If there's any treasure to be found inside,
23:51it will have to wait another day.
24:01Later that night,
24:02Jeff and the team meet to discuss the situation.
24:07So we got ourselves into a pretty nice mess this time.
24:11It is a huge concretion field.
24:14Well, that's a gift I've ever heard of one.
24:18So we're right here on the other side.
24:21And Dan, how far would you say that field extended?
24:26It's actually from close in on the shore
24:29and then works its way all the way out.
24:31So that would be, what, a 10-year project
24:33if we were to set up right now?
24:36Obviously, we don't have 10 years.
24:38I want to find loose pieces of concretion
24:40because I don't want to tamper with the bed
24:42that's on the bottom of the ocean right now.
24:43A bed this big could take literally years to do properly.
24:50We know what the concretion from the Feversham looked like.
24:54It was clumps of coins everywhere.
24:57So if that holds true,
25:00then this site should be laden with goodies.
25:03Keep in mind, right up here on the Feversham,
25:10just down the road a piece,
25:11is where that ring came from,
25:12that nine-emerald, blue-emerald ring and gold.
25:17In 1996, a team led by Jeff's father
25:20salvaged remnants of the Feversham,
25:22including concretion that proved to be hiding coins,
25:25jewelry, and other treasure.
25:27And that was in a piece about the size of your fist.
25:30Nobody knew what was there.
25:32Our conservator x-rayed everything in the lab back in the day,
25:35and lo and behold,
25:36here's this beautiful, perfect ring
25:37with nine blue emeralds in it.
25:39Just a beautiful piece.
25:41That little tiny piece of concretion,
25:43you were working and found the gold earring inside it.
25:45Yeah, it was back in 2010.
25:46It's amazing what that stuff can hide.
25:50You never know what could be inside.
25:52It could be coins, jewels, or some other treasure.
25:56You've got to bring it up,
25:57and you've got to go through it.
25:58There is tens of millions of dollars worth of treasure
26:01that has never been discovered on this fleet.
26:04And I really think that right here,
26:07that's the start of our unraveling of this mystery.
26:16The next day, the team returns to the location
26:19they hope is the site of the Neptune.
26:21This is Pizio Rigo on the bottom, heading west.
26:32Okay, Mike, let's go.
26:35Find me something good.
26:36We need to find pieces that have broken loose from the bottom,
26:43and that way we can determine what's inside of it.
26:47That way we can see whether or not
26:49we can identify the ship it came off of
26:51or find some clue that might lead us in the right direction
26:54as to what ship it came from.
26:58This could possibly be from the Neptune.
27:00Just maybe, we'll get lucky and find some treasure.
27:05Topside, just so you know,
27:07we're in a deep crevice,
27:09and it's lots of concretion on the bottom of the crevice.
27:12Over.
27:14Copy that.
27:24Topside, this is Grego.
27:26The concretion forms around iron artifacts
27:32deposited on the ocean floor,
27:34and it's this iron the detectors are picking up.
27:39Topside, this is Grego.
27:41Got another large hit right next to the other spot.
27:47What do you got?
27:49Topside.
27:51Working it now.
27:54Copy that.
27:56Topside, this is Grego.
28:02There's a bunch of large pieces.
28:08There's no shortage of hits,
28:10but so far, none of the pieces are small enough
28:13to bring to the surface.
28:16Topside, be advised,
28:18this hits so big,
28:19it's black in the machine now.
28:22There's something here.
28:23Topside, some wrecked material here.
28:30That's what we're looking for.
28:34Topside, this is busy.
28:36I got this concretion out.
28:40Yeah, I want it, Mike.
28:43It's a good size.
28:44We need the yellow mesh bag.
28:53Copy that.
28:55You know, concretion,
28:56it's almost like a little wrap gift.
29:00You know, you don't know what's inside
29:02until you open it up,
29:04and it could have anything in it.
29:05While searching for the wreck of the Neptune,
29:19I'm sorry, this is busy.
29:21I got this concretion out.
29:23Copy that.
29:24The dive team finally succeeds
29:26in extracting a piece of concretion
29:28small enough to bring back.
29:30I'll put what I can in my bag.
29:34The sample is still too heavy
29:36for the divers to carry on their own,
29:38so they place it in an inflatable bag
29:41to float to the surface.
29:44This is Ross.
29:45Can we do something your way?
29:48Chris and Jason are going to haul the bag.
29:52It's approaching the surface.
29:53This is heavy.
30:02Yeah, how heavy is it?
30:03Heavy.
30:04It's 40 pounds.
30:04Ready?
30:05Pops it up.
30:05Drop it up on me.
30:07All right.
30:08You know what?
30:09Oh, oh, oh.
30:10Look at you.
30:12Beautiful.
30:13Wow.
30:13It's huge.
30:14That's pretty cool.
30:16What's cool is how concretion holds things.
30:19Yeah.
30:20And how this was inside the concretion.
30:22Yep.
30:23Just hold on to it.
30:24So that's why you've got to dig through
30:25all that you can find out
30:26if it's holding anything.
30:28Oh, there's going to be all kinds of stuff here.
30:30We have no idea what could be in this thing.
30:32This is big.
30:32This could have 10, 15, 20 different items
30:35in there for all we know.
30:36That weighs a ton.
30:37That's concretion.
30:38That's a rock.
30:39I'm sure there's a bunch of rocks.
30:40It's kind of arced.
30:41This is what I thought was the iron, yeah.
30:43Ah.
30:44That's iron.
30:45Is it?
30:46Yeah, it is.
30:47Absolutely.
30:49It's big.
30:51But what would it be?
30:52Hold that iron piece for me.
30:54It's up to you to figure out my house.
30:55It's kind of arced like a cannon.
30:58See how it arcs here?
31:00See, it kind of arcs around.
31:03So could that be a piece of the cannon?
31:06Anything's possible.
31:08I think we're really on to something here.
31:10Yeah, me too.
31:10That's something interesting for the lab.
31:25As night falls, team archaeologist Jim Sinclair
31:29takes the first pieces of concretion
31:31to the diagnostics lab to examine them.
31:35Jim is looking for clues
31:37to see if the samples are from the site of the Neptune.
31:41To protect whatever artifacts may have been fused together inside,
31:45he has to carefully chip away at the cement-like concrete.
31:49I generally just do tapping with a small hammer.
31:56Sometimes, like, if I see what the artifact is,
31:59I'll have pneumatic chisels and stuff like that to take everything off.
32:02But, you know, mechanical cleaning is about the fastest way to do that.
32:05Oh, what is that?
32:35After an hour of slow and steady hammering,
32:38Jim's patience pays off.
32:41Sometimes when you're working on concretion,
32:43it's a lot of work and effort, and you come up empty.
32:46But sometimes, you hit the jackpot.
32:52Holy smokes.
32:57And that's a nice little cannonball.
33:01It's a really big deal.
33:02If you're finding cannonballs from a shipwreck,
33:06it's probably a good bet that they're from a privateer.
33:11Encouraged by the cannonball,
33:13Jim calls Jeff into the lab.
33:17How you doing, man?
33:18Good, pal.
33:18What do you got for me?
33:21Oh, look at that.
33:22Let me just wash it off a bit
33:25and see if there's any markings
33:26or recognizable stuff on it.
33:29What do you see in there, Jeff?
33:47Well, I guarantee you,
33:48this isn't off the feversome
33:49because there's no broad arrow on it.
33:52The broad arrow is a stylized symbol
33:56of an arrowhead used for centuries
33:58by the British government
33:59to mark guns and ammunition
34:01used by the Royal Navy.
34:03And it was a capital offense
34:05for it to be used by non-military ships.
34:10This is probably from one of the transports.
34:14And that, and you've got a muskabal here,
34:18leads me to believe
34:19that they were protecting something.
34:22Finding a cannonball like this
34:24fits with the theory
34:25that this ship was armed.
34:26Therefore, it had a powder magazine.
34:29And if that's the case,
34:30it could possibly be the Neptune.
34:32And in my mind, what would you protect?
34:35Not barrels of pig fat.
34:37With more evidence
34:45they may be onto the Neptune,
34:47Jeff leads the team
34:48back to the concretion field once again.
34:54All right.
34:55So what I want to do
34:56is go from there
34:57and cross-cut it on the way in.
35:01There's lots more down there.
35:04And I'm going to find out what it is.
35:06That's the treasure hunter inside of me.
35:08That's what's talking now.
35:16Follow me.
35:24Stay in visible contact.
35:34Not seeing anything yet.
35:36Cross the top side.
35:43I have a big piece of concretion.
35:47Attaboy!
35:48Bring it to daddy.
35:55With just two weeks left
35:57in their search for shipwrecks
35:58along the Death Coast...
36:00Cross the top side.
36:01I have a big piece of concretion.
36:05Jeff and the team
36:05have returned to the site
36:07they believe could be
36:08the final resting place
36:09of the Neptune
36:10and the treasure
36:11it may have been carrying.
36:14Are you going to bring that up?
36:15Is it detached?
36:16What do you think?
36:18I'm not sure yet.
36:21It's smooth right into the bottom.
36:23I'm not removable.
36:24I'm not removable.
36:24Over.
36:27Copy that.
36:28Move on.
36:29Find something else.
36:33Outside, this is Grego.
36:34I'm digging into concretion.
36:36I'm not seeing any coin shapes
36:40but I'm going to bring up
36:42a chunk of it anyway.
36:43Please do.
36:45Bring a chunk anyway.
36:47I'll put what I can
36:48in my bag.
36:50Copy that.
36:51Well, I want that spot marked in.
36:52I want it M-A-R-K-E-D.
36:55Copy that.
37:10Over the next six hours,
37:12the divers continue marking
37:14and lifting any loose pieces.
37:18With daylight dwindling,
37:20they make a last minute push
37:21to secure all they can.
37:23Divers, you got five minutes left.
37:27Copy that.
37:28I know it doesn't look like much now
37:30but who knows what could be
37:32in that concretion.
37:36Oh, holy frig.
37:49That evening,
37:50Jim inspects the day's hall
37:51to see what, if anything,
37:53it might contain every shipwreck that we work on as a story to tell the remnants of those stories
38:04those little pieces of the past are sitting on the bottom of the ocean
38:07what have we here
38:14so
38:18what are you doing here holy crap
38:25beautiful i'm gonna give jeff a call
38:34i was not expecting to find emeralds off the coast of scattery island
38:39jeff what do you got pal
38:42take a look at that
38:44holy
38:48what are those kind of look like emeralds to me
38:54they come out of this came out of this what did i tell you
38:57yeah there's treasure everywhere in cape redner is
39:01yeah
39:01emeralds are 20 times rarer than diamonds
39:07a single emerald smaller than a pea can be worth over ten thousand dollars
39:13in the early 18th century up to 95 percent of the world's emeralds were mined in colombia
39:20and were regularly shipped back to europe on spanish treasure ships
39:24making them prime targets for piracy
39:27and privateering
39:28i know dad took diamonds off of the feversham
39:33but this is so far down the coastline
39:35this is something absolutely new
39:37i told you there was all kinds of treasure here
39:39yeah
39:39well i'll tell you what
39:40that to me
39:42looks like treasures anymore in there
39:44well i mean we're gonna have to look
39:46that's a rock
39:47it's a rock
39:49when a ship breaks apart
39:51it dumps all of its contents to the bottom of the sea
39:54and whatever treasure she had aboard of her
39:57yeah keep looking
39:59look at that
40:02look right there
40:03there's another one there
40:05yeah sure it is
40:06i'm a treasure hunter and i've just found treasure
40:11we found five emeralds so far we just started doing this
40:14i mean
40:14and i knew this site was going to talk to us and now she's talking
40:17look there's another one there
40:18yep sure is
40:20six
40:21that look right there
40:25yep

40:46coins
40:46and lots of them
40:47and more emeralds
40:48and more jewels
40:49and more everything
40:50and i'm gonna get it
40:51are the emeralds from the long lost neptune
40:55the team could be on the cusp of a groundbreaking discovery
40:59but they'll have to work quickly
41:01the door to the death coast is closing
41:04and with it
41:06the chance to find any more of the privateer's plunder
41:09that might be hidden on the seafloor
41:11next
41:16on the death coast
41:18the storms head their way fellas
41:20as the weather continues to get worse
41:24top side the cover down here is insane
41:27top side there's a shipwreck here
41:29the team discovers a collection of mysterious items
41:33holy moly
41:35wow
