Right hand man Juan Gomez buried their pirate treasure somewhere in the vicinity of a tree he carved with a Roman numeral.

So I waste no time firing up the old metal detector to try my luck.

It proving that gas bars legendary loot is the real deal.

Dennis, you're on.

You're on Gator Watch with you got ahead.

Hey, Mike, Go ahead.

Go ahead.

That sounds good.

I got the shovel we're looking at right there.

Nice to solve.

It's like digging on the beach, dear.

You got it right there.

Well, we found silver.

The silver bullet cold brewed in the Rockies.

Jose Gaspar.

All right, moving on.

Can't win them all.

Put this in the recycling pile.

Fill in the hole, keep at it.

But after an hour of metal detecting, we don't even turn up another beer can.

As of right now, nothing.

The metal detectors are silent.

But that's the thing about treasure hunting.

You gotta have persistence.

We keep at it until well into the afternoon.

And still nada.

This is where Dennis comes in.

I think it's time to bring out the secret weapon.

Was your secret weapon that's right here in my hand.

Okay.

What's in this bag you've been carrying around all day?

There's an instrument in here.

There's only two in the world and I have one of them.

It locates treasure from a distance.

Okay, you've got my attention.

This is it.

This is it.

OK, this looks like a piece of PVC piping.

It's what's in it.

The counts and what's in it?

Um, A little bit of radiation, I say.

Sorry.

So what?

A little radiation.

Radiation?

Yes, sir.

Here you go, buddy.

Let me hand it right back to you.

Dennis.

Dennis, There's information that you give out at the beginning of handling radioactive material.

Where'd you get this radioactive material from?

I can't tell you that part.

This it back to the future situation.

They're Libyans in a van.

Gonna pull up here?

No, I don't know what the hell is going on right now, Dennis, but I'm all in.

Let's see.

Let's see what's going on.

Dennis explains that his device works off the negative fields of the earth, whatever that means.

Depending on how he calibrates it.

Which is also a secret.

The device he says, can detect the aura of gold, silver, even diamonds up to 100 miles away To prove it, he sets the device to detect silver.

Then he puts a silver coin on the ground.

Toa let a skeptic like me give it a world.

Can I try this?

Sure.

Yeah, yeah, but would you mind?

So now are these radioactive to does?

Not at all.

Okay, hold him like this at a slight angle down.

Okay, So you're telling me that when I walk this way when I passed the silver, it's gonna cross when I passed the gold?

It's not going.

That's correct.

Okay, there it is.

There's your crossing on the silver.

Okay.

Passing the silver.

Now.

Dennis, what have you built here?

Something very, very valuable.

Josh, like what's happening here?

Gonna believe?

I have no idea what's going on here.

I don't care if you have a crystal ball and you're chanting and tongues.

If it leads to treasure, you're my hero.

I like a challenge.

Good.

Let's see what it can.

D'oh!

Dennis, adjust the device to look for gold and inserts the probe into the ground.

He then follows the two rods as they turn in his hands to navigate our search for the pirate treasure.

The target we're looking for is right over there, right behind you way.

Make our way farther into the woods.

And if you ask me farther away from reality, until Dennis stops re orients his rods at a 90 degree angle and we follow him another 25 feet.

It's right here, sir.

It's right here.

He's right here.

Okay, So your determination using plutonium, I guess, is that Is that there is a treasure right here.

Yes, sir.

Let's see if we get anything on the old fashioned non nuclear metal detectors.

Well, say, I haven't spent half the day running through the swamps and this thing barely going off it all.

There's something here, which is kind of amazing to me.

It's deep, whatever it is.

How deep down do you think this is?

I think it's three foot plus three foot plus.

We got some digging to do.

Start the party.

Let's do it.

Come on.

Three feet Doesn't sound like much until you actually have to dig it.

So first we're gonna drill baby drill.

This gas powered auger with a three foot long bit helps break up the dirt, and then we get ready to dig.

Okay?

Now, what is a deeper dig?

Deeper.

Deeper?

Okay, The human Florida swamp is turning into a sweat box.

And though I'm exhausted, I'm also hellbent and determined to find out if there's anything at the bottom of this hole.

The truth behind Jose Gaspar is legend, and his treasure hangs in the balance.

Dutch, I really enjoy digging us out.

Well, that makes one of us.

I'm kidding, Mike.

Loving every minute of this.

Missed every other minute.

Finally, after hours of backbreaking labor.

Okay, so we are now down into the water table.

I'd say from the surface were down 16 or more.

Uh, So what do you think, Dennis?

You ready to cry, uncle in this one, or No, no.

There's something there.

We just probe the side of this thing and every angle of this point, we've hit nothing, and we just hadn't dug wide enough and to expand the whole mike.

What do you think?

Well, I think whatever is down there, we're not gonna find it today.

You think it's a bigger job?

Bigger than what we thought?

Definitely something here.

The mystery continues.

Yeah, Well, gentlemen, it's been fun digging a hole.

Hey, those rods of yours can they lead to a bar and so ends my foray into alternative treasure hunting.
