Back in the early 1980’s, a young and impressionable David met Mel Fisher, an eccentric and famous treasure hunter that seemed larger than life. After catching gold-fever, David began hunting watery riches with Mel, which would lead the two on a journey of adventure, riches, and legal battles with state and federal governments. Hear David’s astonishing story through the wild world of ocean treasure hunting and how he, Mel Fisher, and his crew became legendary heroes. Witness never-before seen photos of David’s adventures, and of the vast riches he’s collected from the Atocha discovery site.
