back in the late 90's I was diving with along established, now defunct diving club. I met an older sometimes member who wanted to do some diving. Bob lived in an older travel trailer in the back of Marina he worked at, and drove a then 20 year old pinto wagon. Story was he lost big in divorce court. We were diving a section of river near a thruway bridge when Bob starts scraping the zebra mussels off what I thought was a mooring block. He motioned me over, and I could clearly make out the dial, Bob had found a safe. By the time I got off from work the next day, he and a couple friends had it raised. The Pinto listed badly with the blue tarp wrapped safe in the back. Next time I saw Bob he was driving a new Dakota 4x4. I asked him about the contents of the safe. He told me that it was empty, but there was a little twinkle in his eye and the smile that said different. He asked me to stop by his trailer, as there were a couple scuba tanks he sold me dirt cheap, and we had a beer or 2. Two days later, the trailer was gone and I never saw him again. It's exciting when you find something, and you want to tell everyone, but you've GOT to keep it on the down low if you want it to change your life.
Finders keepers. Change the law. Notice how the state only wants to get involved with found treasure after someone else goes through the trouble of discovering it.
Why would you announce to the world what you find? What are you stupid? You know there is always someone out there that's gonna take what you find. Next time keep your mouth closed and keep your findings. That's including money people loose. If they loose it and you find it. That's there fault and your gain. That's my opinion.
Surviving In Oregon ManVsGod Your opinión will change if you’re the one that loses the money. You will deny that but it’s true. In fact, you will curse the guy that doesn’t turn it in especially if, say, you worked two jobs for 10 years to save $20,000 for a down payment on a house and some guy just got it without a minute’s work. Do the right thing. Now when it comes to the ship’s treasure, yes, shut up and don’t tell others. As stated, the government wants a cut after you do all the work. Do they pay to bring it up before they know if there are valuables? No.
No box cars, no gold. I heard the same story from a friend that used to own a submarine on the great lakes. He told me the same story and told me he hunted for years for that gold. Now all wrecks are protected, nothing gets taken from them. Back in the days he did it. people took everything off wrecks, thats why so many look stripped.
First rule in treasure hunting, loose lips sink ships. Some treasure hunters are more interested in fame than the primary reason for being there to begin with. Screw fame and notoriety, just show me the money. Next, don't even tell your wife, best buddy, or girlfriend until you've secured the loot in several safe places only you know about. And then only reveal a partial amount if you don't want to lose it all. I love women but most can't shut their yappers. Good hunting, guys.
Marvin Thiessen im a woman & I agree with you Marvin! Screw the fame, doesnt pay the bills, give me the fortune... Every woman I've know or heard of or read about, made a 'killing' on their divorce. It almost sounds specifically Like the intended to marry to get $$$ & get divorced. I never ripped off any men that I dated & the one I divorced ripped me off! God Bless your buddy! Glad he one upped everyone, coulda shared a little ur way though, wouldnt have hurt!
You have a very valid point, my friend, and even some women would agree with you, the smart ones, that is. But there is a right and a wrong for treasure hunting, and one thing is to NOT disturb where people lost their lives, for any reason. There are MANY ships who went down in the Great Lakes, and a lot of people lost their lives there. The watery grave is where they rest and they should not be disturbed for gold or any other "loot" or monetary gain. Respect life, even if it is lost. I see war movies of all the dead laying on the ground, sometimes grotesquely dead, enemy or not, human life is valuable and should be respected, even in death. Someone loved those lost lives and grieved for them. If we can't respect life, what good is there left in this world? And that goes for animals and humans.
You are SO right about that, buddy! First they'll want to know about it, but that's not enough, next they'll want a part of it, and with greed comes a lot of nerve -- they will try to take if from you for a dozen phony reasons, like historical value (whose?!) future finds in the same area, many reasons, but you can count on some kind of thief sniffing around, IF YOU BROADCAST your find! Of course, how can you claim its value or sell it except to tell someone?! Then greed will ensue! It usually does, eventually! Why do you think "archeologists are digging up the tombs in the pyramids? For artifacts that they can use to sell (for historic reasons, of course) but how much of what they find do you believe really sees the eyes of the public? There are "fences" all over the world who are interested in relics for personal gain, i.e., MONEY! And the recipients of these relics want the notoriety (among small circles) of what they are hoarding that is unusual or very rare, rarer than anyone else's object! They sold some of those artifacts for thousands of dollars 50 years ago, but those same pieces may bring millions of dollars today! You can't find that kind of a profit very many places!
How many times has the courts overruled the states . California was overruled when a couple found a strongbox full of gold coins in their backyard . The state only gets part of the tax any time they sell one of the coins . Michigan has tried to tax liquor used on passenger planes even though the plains don't land there . This was in an old Play Boy article back in either late 80's or early 90's . Most times that I've heard a state tried to take advantage of a treasure hunt most times the state court has overruled the state quoting " Finders Keepers " witch in its own way is a common law across the country . Before I had my heart failure I was with the GPAA " Gold Prospectors Association of America " . This is how I know , between them and keeping track of court rulings of state and federal law .
Doesnt work like that.....illegal to touch anything on a ship wreak without a permit....an theres no doing your own thing when the government sees how much money you all of a sudden have dumbass
Kendall Phillips no moron, if you read more closely, you would have understood. You can’t just take stuff off of a shipwreck without a permit, it’s illegal and will be seized from you.
The instant that a piece of that gold was brought to bank or gold & coin specialist would be the beginning of the end. Of course they are obligated to find out where it came from & what it is, then make the according reports.
Rule number 1. Never tell the state of Michigan you found safe possibly full of gold. Because now the story will be the state of Michigan found a safe possibly full of gold.
WTF I would have kept my mouth shut and the safe would have been in my garage and opened by now Thats why I think that there is something fishy about this.
@crocusflower but they could of just opened the damn safe themselves without telling authorities !! They already discovered the shipwreck.. why wouldn't they just bring it up to shore?
I think people who find it should keep their find, I do believe they should allow archaeologists access for historical purposes. As far as Insurance companies and descendents are concerned if they are not searching or spending the money looking there is no reason they should get anything.
They have the right equipment and know how to use it, but they have no clue what to do with what potential treasures they find. Dumbass fools gave themselves up to the state of Michigan and to the news channel?! Hahaha all they're time and effort and personal money spent just became a waste because they'll have nothing to show for it eventually when it's all taken from them. Well done rookies!
Such finds are of HISTORICAL value. People who steal from such finds forget that others who are alive now stand to inherit some money that's been found.
Twelve feet down eight feet into underneath where the board walk squeaks at the oldest Marina on state to state Line does meet there you'll find 200,000 in rare coins locked in a safe cables wrapped around main piling to keep and if you are so lucky to spot it in its dark keep , It's yours please don't tell the two states.
I have a friend that knows right where it is. He used to look for it and pulled a chain off the wreck and an old wooden box. He tryed to find it again and couldnt. He ended up buying a submarine. He had that theough the 70's then sold it. Sorry guys, no box cars and no way you can keep anything off that boat. Michigan passed laws saying you cannot take anything off a ship wreck. Thats why my friend stopped looking.
What's this program called please I watched a few episodes and never finished off watching it ... And anyone got any other programs like these to watch to thank u
I don't get that yeah the government didn't spend the time looking for it yet they let you do all the work and then take it people are stupid telling them I wouldn't I'd melt it down because they would just take it any ways.
edward belliveau you melt it down at a prospectors shop and say you find it prospecting. They also need to prove you are guilty, it is your right to be innocent until proven guilty anybody who tries to make you prove your innocence can be reported and fired.
@@dylanmccallister1888 and also a possibility is to say that you won a bet! Gambling wins are easy to create !! I would happily " lose" a million dollars worth of loot to you and give statements to provide your evidence of ownership! Expenses covered! Of course! 😎 no bother at all mate! Say 5% luck money!! Fair play !,fair day !
I do t get y ppl need to tell the state or government that they found it I would just take it and wouldn't tell no one, I would sell 1 coin at a time so it can't b obvious like I'll sale a coin right now and sell another one bout 1-2 months later
Has anyone heard anymore on this? My daughter and I were reading about The Griffin from The French Explorers Issue of The Mitten Magazine (we're homeschoolers and the issues are apart of our Michigan History Unit, we live in Michigan) but we'd like to find out more about if the wreck was really found or not. Here's a link to The Mitten PDF seekingmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mitten_french-explorers.pdf
It is just a story. There is no proof a box car full of gold was thrown in the lake. Kinda like the oak island mystery lot's of theories but no treasure has ever been found
Why tell anybody, especially the State, that you may have found a safe. Those greedy bastards will take over and leave you empty handed every time. Are you sure it's a safe, and not a stove ??
But how would a couple of million worth of Confederate gold wind up on a boat in Lake Michigan? If it had been seized by the Union, they would have just put it on a train and sent it to Washington. It never would have been sent up there to Michigan.
I follow many treasure hunts. It’s a very sad legal battle. Hunters spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars in this pursuit. Then they find it and are met with every lazy POS government or insurance entity that lay claim. It’s absurd! Theses laws need to change.
This reminds me of that episode of American a dad, when he discovers Ollie Norths gold under his house. "I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna wait till these white folks go to bed, then go dig up that gold!”
The History Channel did a show called "The Curse of Confederate Gold" earlier this year. Kevin Dykstra (the guy at 1:24) teamed up with Marty Lagina (the Oak Island treasure hunter) and they ended up finding what could be the remains of a wooden boxcar along with metal detection readings of nonferrous materials. However, no gold so far (or if they did, they are keeping quiet about it). Think you can still watch all the episodes on the History Channel website...
Let me ask a general question ? Do you not think for a moment that with the millions of certified divers in the US & Canada, and after see this series that the subject gold would not have been found yet? To me it appears that some people have been using Lake Michigan as a dumping ground for construction waste. And them bars down there are actually bricks, pavers, etc. Keeping a 100 million gold bar secret to his death bed seems far fetched. Then again its all about ratings is it not! I remember awhile back when the was talk about certain objects being stuffed in storage lockers for the program Storage Wars to increase the ratings, there may be truth or not but the hype builds ratings. Just my humble opinion.
The editing of this video is atrocious, but the story is interesting. These guys do seem a bit like the folks you're likely to meet on a conspiracy blog, though.
I believe I would have opened the chest it's probably deteriorating to the point you could open it by hand with no tools and I would have never spoken another word about it. I have to say these guy's don't seem to bright. Now the state will take everything and not even say thank you
We vcan thank the high priests of the Archeology that have had laws past preventing removal of anything under water. If this wreck had not been reported it would eventually be lost to Nature thank you High priests of the archeology.

This was published almost 5 years ago. What was the resolution of the story?
wow, i lived in that area for years, Arcadia,frankfort and benzonia, i miss it, very interesting!
if its been lost for years it should be yours they would have never found it so it doesnt belong to the state or federal
On their land in their waters so yes its does belong to them dumbass hahaha
Silvio Manuel so Zionist think the gov owns everything?
It should go to a museum
That is so cool the Historical Society should get involved in it and bring the safe up
They must have more money than they need.
Never ever tell anybody!
