"Burt has a good track record" Which track? Dog track? Horse track? Greyhound track?

Re-read the release...

"We have worked diligently to substantiate the information provided by our new partners....Burt Webber, expect to continue the surveys and anticipate locating and recovering historic shipwrecks"

They "expect and anticipate"....sounds real confident.....don't it? This operation is "a family affair"...All they need is a little luck......

Grosero,

Mel Fisher's estate is still being sued by dozens of investors who were screwed out of their shares.

Yeah, but Fisher's family actually found treasure, won legal leases in Florida, have a museum to show for their years efforts and a son and daughter who legitamately have carried on the family business.......sure beats a belt buckle, some stories and bottle caps

Burts only track record is that he found a Treasure Galleon after he was given the log book off the "Henry" the original salvage vessel with explicit directions to the wreck, and that was 3 decades ago.
His boat The "RV Hispaniola" has left the dock once in almost a year!
The only two people he had on his crew with any experience, jumped ship because the haven't been paid in 4 months!
There has never been any treasure ships lost in the Navidad Banks. The geology is a giveaway if you look at a chart.
The SilverBanks are where the wrecks are (hence the name) But Burt does not have a lease there.
Burt needs a stock push to survive. His grip on his boat, crew and sanity depend upon it!

Lastly if Burt finds treasure,,,,, No-one will be more surprised than Burt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
