Soldier's Girl Page #3
he finds her, the Atocha,
the mother lode of all treasure ships.
It's worth 400 million dollars so far.
And today,
Mel Fisher is counting the riches
still out there on the ocean floor.
So right over here about
a quarter of a mile
is all the kings taxes for five years,
all the church collection money from
all the Catholic churches
in this hemisphere for five years,
all the wealthy merchants,
there was 28 of them on board
all their lifesavings for 10
or 15 years in business over here.
They were gonna go home and retire.
They didn't make it.
So there's probably another four
and a half billion right over there.
Today, aging and ailing,
Mel Fisher is still bringing up treasure.
These days, it is emeralds.
His passion for treasure
has been passed on
to his youngest son, Kane Fisher.
Is there more come from their cursor
and they want our men for this
When we found that... ah... we found that
court martial referee
in our linds send the leve
I got one...
Here me go. that ahold a half carat
You got to be real persistent
and not give up, no matter what.
And you got to believe it's there.
And you got to want it bad.
If you want it bad enough, you'll get it.
You just got to keep looking
and don't stop no matter what.
And you'll never know what's
five feet away from where you left off.
That's what keeps it exciting.
The Atocha puzzle still isn't solved.
I don't know
when we're gonna figure it out.
And you just keep going and going.
It seems like you
never get done working a shipwreck.
We've been working those wrecks
for 34 years now
It's exciting.
That's what keeps you going.
Today, Mel Fisher is big business,
and almost respectable.
But a swashbuckler makes enemies,
big enemies.
Charging that Fisher has
seriously damaged the seafloor
with his salvaging techniques,
the federal government has dragged him
through the courts.
And Fisher's had to pay hundreds
of thousands in fines.
But Fisher knows how to change
with the times.
Conservator Sid Jones,
who worked extensively
with Fisher on the Atocha,
acknowledges the need to protect history.
In the past treasure hunting,
back in the '60s or the '50s
when it was really getting started,
there wasn't much
thought given to recording data
or preserving the artifacts.
Of course, there was a large emphasis
on finding something of value,
but we've learned in time
that every artifact that comes
Once you understand the complete picture,
the items not only have a monetary value,
but they have a historical value as well,
