I know one thing for sure that if I found some kind of treasure whether it be diving or metal detecting the last thing that I would never do is let the government know. I mean WTF you are out there day after day night after night and spending all your money and then you find something big and the government will take it away from me , no way would I let that happen unless they pay me full market value otherwise I keep my mouth shut lol. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Vince and more treasure hunting on the ship
