Much of the west coast of Australia was discovered by accident when Dutch treasure galleons plowed into its fringing coral reefs and left chests of gold and silver on the coral floor. Ben Cropp has discovered hundreds of shipwrecks, including the famous Pandora of Bounty fame but there are thousands more still hidden in a watery grave.

I've never seen a treasure hunter search for gold and valuable coins without using a metal detector. They gave up searching for coins in the seaweed because they couldnt see the bottom. A detector would have solved that problem.

@GenaF Жыл бұрын

Ben Cropp is a respected diver who does not plant things to be found on camera. That divers helmet was an amazing find and he would probably find a lot more relating to the wrecks in that area if he hung around but the sticky mud wouldn't give up its treasures easily. I absolutely love Ben's videos but they tend to flit about too much between locations and even many years. Amazing finds though. I wish I had the ability and nerve to dive.

All those years looking for the sun, you find it and THEN research to find its already been found? Uhh... I guess thats why I dig coins, in the dirt, with a shovel.

@mickeyfilmer5551 Жыл бұрын

You can't keep the coins, they have to be handed in to the museum. Theyre government property

Dutch "treasure ships" ?? First time I hear this term applied to the Dutch. Pray tell, which kind of treasure were the Dutch transporting ?

@williamshaw8106 Жыл бұрын

@mmneander1316 Жыл бұрын

@@williamshaw8106 So then "treasure" was used in the general sense of "cargo"? Seems like a bit of a loose stretched usage of the word "treasure". I'm a Dutch national, and when the Dutch talk about treasure in the 17th century, it's not about normal cargo like spices, but about literal gold and silver looted from the Spanish (such as by famous Dutch privateer Piet Hein). The cargo of the normal Dutch ships in the 17th century (i.e. the commercial fleet, not the privateer fleet) was spices and slaves, not precious metals. This is in contrast to the Spanish, who did transport lots of gold and silver in their cargo ships (from their gold/silver sources in America).

It's always silly to hear i went stolen gold but doesn't care about the history of a cannon or something historical. If u want gold go dig it up. There are many things i have wanted in life & i got it. Gold is not one of them
