The Search For The Sunken Dutch Treasure Ships | Search For Sunken Treasure | Timeline
Much of the west coast of Australia was discovered by accident when Dutch treasure galleons ploughed 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. For example, its believed the Japanese pirate Yamada Nagamasa buried his enormous loot on Magnetic Island. It is rumored to be worth $100 million, and has never been found. Ben finds a strange symbol carved in a prominent rock on Magnetic Island, opposite the only bay a ship could safely anchor in. Is this symbol the proverbial x marking the spot?
So what became of all the gold and silver that fate often cruelly snatched from its rightful owners? Some were recovered, some lost forever, but much still remains for the intrepid treasure hunter who is prepared to research the facts, sift through the legends, and give it a try.
Ben’s film will take us around Australia to where these sunken treasures lie.

Those things with the letter H are gold ingots with the owner’s mark.
Nearly all of the information about the bullets they brought up is wrong.
If those belong to the government throw them back in. Viva the revolution
His "wife" looks great for being 50+
Dont bother watching. This guy does not tell anything about history, nature or whatever. Just a family video. I guess any other person would make topic much more enriching…
That divers helmet was a good find
For those that go down to the sea in ships!!

The Australian Government should treat this a treasure trove, like the British government. The finder would be given market value. That way it’s more likely that treasure would be found and declared.
This is Amazing and Awesome and puting things back so otheres can find do sane
Its not right to take what is lost to show the World to see
The blond lady in the bikini at the end is quite stunning!
Look for straight lines – There aren’t any straight lines in nature.
I think that’s a real landmark! We should check it out!
Silly that, having to put the items back in the sea.
Yeah no way that helmet would come out that easy
Brilliant show A1
Does anyone know the name of the young lady in this video?????
u call this history, the word history is anciant times, like europe, ,the floods of NOAH, egypt, rome, this country run by convicts ., and they still are loll, we have nothing against anyone, co’s the most of this world co’s nothing but pain and sorrows,
I bring my dog everywhere to.
You won’t get to keep any of it. The Australian Government will take everything you find.
I know they have to get the coral off but as a coin collector I’m cringing at them cleaning those coins in acid
Dunno why they didn’t bring metal detectors, and if the government owns them I’d leave them where I found them and ask the government if they’re willing to pay a finder’s fee. I mean, if they’re not even willing to help pay for the gas they shouldn’t get the benefit of the ride, now should they?
I bet the 75 year rule of putting it back would go out the window, especially if you told them you found a pile of gold.
The rest is so over rehearsed it’s painful.
i dont know that if a Japanese pirate would be using western surveyor’s symbol’s
I have seen the half hull of the original Dutch ship Batavia at the Australian maritime museum shipwreck gallery in Fremantle Australia
The gal at the 2:00 mark makes me want to scratch my eyes out.
i have an idea….Why not do a documentary on how Democrat funded the research and then released the Corona Virus on the American People to topple the Democratically Elected Government and violently seize power…..Do a story on the Genocide they caused in America and thoughout the world….Show the film of Fauci giving convoluted answers on whether he funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab in China to substantiate you case…..Show all the suffering and misery created…..Show all the fear and hysteria caused…..It would be great and factual Documentary indeed.
amazing a bronze divers helmet these things are HEAVY they take two people to lift them to put them on a diver he just picks it up in one hand This has to be fake that had to be planted their and it must be some sort of stage prop.
Yikes! 11:02 – just say "no" to Speedos
wonder what it is like being a grave robber? doesnt matter people died as long as these grave robbers get rich.
If I found something it would fall under the Finders Keepers Act
47:00 *angry dutch noises*
fraud family
@ 41:35 …."I showed the symbol to a renowned psychic and she assured me that a fabulous treasure is indeed buried here…." Right. I hope that worked out for you.
This guy is such a BS artist…
The guy in charge reminds me of Moses in the Sinai just wandering around.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou??
Is it about the ships or are they looking for the stolen treasures from the Inca’s.
