The company won't reveal the location or probable name of the wreck, except to say that it is in international waters. I've just got to get a metal detector, dollar signs are spinning in my eyeballs. __________________ I am not the one who needs mental help. I just need to vent.

I'd be happy to find it, too.

I've find some interesting stuff under the docks, including a set of golf clubs with bag, and what looked loke a new cell phone.

I think they throw out the snorkles though. __________________ Is that the bottom of the quarry or is the vis just really bad today?
