He probably shouldn't have told the news about it 😂

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

What i was thinking

[@mazbaird]

Why would you go on the Nightly News and tell everybody? Doesn't matter, pirates didn't bury their treasure, they spent it just as fast as they got it.

[@primus711]

Came here to see if everyone thought the same as me i wasn't disappointed

[@michellehomick6761]

I like going to honeymoon island. .. and I hope he finds what he is looking for

[@billbradley2480]

Oops now the world knows.

[@leighton300]

Why th would he tell everyone and their dog lmao. He ain't all there is he

[@joez3263]

Things are moving along

[@jorgecaraballo1771]

Let me guess, he's got a small tavern there by the shore and want everyone to stop in at happy hour??

[@wildhunter4977]

Sorry but State waters extend 3 miles from the shoreline. Even if it was real it belongs to the State of Florida. But their pretty reasonable about armatures Treasure hunters taking their money. Enjoy, I'll be bidding on your equipment at the States next confiscated items Auction

[@jimcmf2]

I'm going diving.

[@teeteebrown6614]

Lol he will never find it.

[@icrash3031]

Get a drone with a submersible metal detection system. I can make one easily for my drone.

[@bryceashton6645]

Or could be a rock.

[@banderabird2797]

Another oak island?

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

Why wait for the waters to go down instead of just diving off the shores? I do not think if found in open waters and collected the state would get any or eligible however if it's found on land after the water levels go down then of course the state would.

@Chico Wildin What I hate is when I'm dying for a pee when I'm asleep. Sometimes I've felt the desperate need to pee while I'm dreaming, and I keep sitting on the toilet and releasing it in my dream. Obviously, that does nothing to relive my real bladder so in my dream I get confused why I'm not feeling any relief. By the time I wake up enough to go to the toilet for real it's painful

You need to look into the laws
