Only $200K in startup costs and $2K in daily costs while searching.

I figured we would need something like large base of operations like a 50-65' boat. A smaller boat for towing an underwater magnetometer back and forth along the reefs (outside & inside) while the main boat is at anchor. Scuba gear for 5 people (along with spare gear), at least 10 tanks for constant daily dives, and a certified air compressor for refilling the tanks. The boat would need to be outfitted with a crane for loading, and various other required gear.

We can start along the barrier reef along the Keys in Florida.

Yes!

The only things keeping me from joining you is that I'm OT poor, and I have a job.

Why not just read The Secret and try to find the buried treasure in NOLA?

The only 3 found to date are Chicago, Cleveland, and Boston. There are 9 more out there in prominent cities

They think SF, Milwaukee, and LA are 3 and they're in historically ethnic neighborhoods.


ETA: Charleston is one as well.

Read Pirate Hunters: Treasure, Obsession, and the Search for a Legendary Pirate Ship and if you still want to do it I'll meet you down there.

Spoiler Alert: These guys are some premier treasure hunters and they are constantly broke.
