A real-life treasure hunt is underway in New York City, but not for gold or silver. Dive teams are searching for something even rarer - the priceless bones of some prehistoric creatures. Nancy Chen reports.

After being asked for it, I gave CBS Mornings all my raw footage from this day of diving and I'm disappointed a name drop for my work wasn't given. Great video, but I was kind of let down. I was so excited to share this to my family lol

And a super sweet and kind person. When he finds peoples belongings, and if he can find the owner, he always returns to them. But there is so much more than that. Really a great guy as are his diving buddies.

Hi Jake, it's crummy they didn't acknowledge you for sure. Just keep in mind, there are over 13.1M people out here that know what a kind and amazing person you are. If they used your footage and did not credit you they are no better than thieves IMO. Thank you for all that you do!

The DuMont Network, which was one of the first American TV companies, reportedly dumped thousands of kinescopes in one of the rivers off NYC when they went out of business in 1956. Thousands of hours of priceless early television, including the first show featuring an Asian-American star, Anna May Wong, were lost. A pity this diving tech wasn't easily available back then.

@MexicanTeTe Жыл бұрын

There's a lot of cooler items under rivers than just old bones. People have always used rivers as garbage dumps, so you can find some really cool historical artifacts that are technically even more rare than mammoth tusks. One man's trash becomes another's treasure.

Admiral Richard Byrd discovered a live one in the 1930's

@veramae4098 Жыл бұрын

For those who don't know, Byrd claimed to have discovered a green oasis in Antarctica, with an entrance leading to THE HOLLOW EARTH! [pounding drums] A great civilization dwells there, unconcerned with the affairs of the barbarians on the surface. Byrd was a respected (retired) military officer with a good career behind him. Nobody's sure why he did this. He did produce some photographs of a green area, but, you know, there are lots of green areas on Earth.
