Wacky Americans throwing millions at pirate treasure.
It will be interesting to see if anything comes from this latest hunt.

"David Blankenship has been looking for the treasure since 1975. His father owns part of the
island."

Is he an American, or a Canadian who's been looking for treasure for the past 38 years?

Sounds pretty wacky to me!



When I was a little kid, maybe 8, my summer buddies and I would spend
many hours every week scouring Charles Island in Milford, Connecticut,
for Captain Kidd's treasure.

Never found anything metallic other than a few empty Hull's Export Beer
cans.

When I was a kid, we did the same thing, in Puerto Rico. Ramey AFB is right on the coast. We found a
tunnel, but nothing in it. Then one day I found an animal skull. I knew it must be a prehistoric
creature of some kind, so I took it to school and gave it to the science teacher. She looked at it
for a couple seconds and said, "Itls a cow."

Oh well. Third graders aren't supposed to be forensic anthropologists.
