Redditor Evilenglish was helping his family clear out his grandparents’ old farmhouse in Tennessee last week when he discovered a block of concrete on the floor of a closet under a staircase.
“This was very out of place since all of the downstairs flooring is hardwood,” he wrote. “I pushed the carpet back further and saw a round cap with a circle indentation on it. I pulled off the cap and…A Secret Safe!” . . . Read Complete Report
An original Pirate of the Caribbean’s loot from the 17th century has been recovered from the ocean and will go on show
By Anthea Gerrie 31 July, 2012
The belongings of a real-life Pirate of the Caribbean have been discovered off the coast of Panama and are set to go on show for travelers keen to see how 17th-century buccaneers lived.
The pirate was Captain Henry Morgan, of rum bottle fame, a Welshman who looted throughout the Spanish Main in the 17th century before losing five ships in the West Indies.
Fritz Hanselmann, an underwater archaeologist with the River Systems Institute and the Center for Archaeological Studies at Texas State University, found swords, barrels and chests belonging to one of Morgan’s ships after a three-year search.
“Morgan was one of the most infamous privateers of all time, so this was a chance to use archaeological research to bridge the gap between science and pop culture,” Hanselmann says.
The recovery follows the discovery of six of Morgan’s cannons off the Panamanian coast in 2010. . . . Read Complete Report w/photos

Henry Morgan – the real pirate of the caribbean : Documentary
“He was one of history’s shrewdest military minds, a human chameleon who combined brutality with personal charm. Latest underwater forensic techniques reveal the truth about history’s most notorious pirate, Sir Henry Morgan. Three years into his quest to find the real Henry Morgan, salvage specialist Klaus Keppler made a sensational discovery — battleships from Sir Henry’s time, the 1660s. The ships were lying in only 5 meters of water in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Haiti, all accessible and perfectly preserved. We join Keppler and his team as they scour the ocean floor and unlock the secrets behind history’s most notorious pirate. Lovable rogue, brutal mercenary, successful businessman, alcoholic and loyal servant of the British Crown, The Real Henry Morgan tells a tale that puts ‘Treasure Island’ to shame” . . .

I have been enjoying these “travel” videos for awhile and decided that some of our viewers might enjoy them as much as I do.
In this day of the elitist crying about “overpopulation” and the need for getting rid of the “useless oxygen users” some people need to realize that our great country is not crowded wall to wall with people. In fact not only are there thousands of uninhabited regions in our country, but there are also hundreds, if not thousands, of places where people once lived and worked but have since abandoned for one reason or another. It’s these places we will explore in this series.
I hope you enjoy this new series as much as I will enjoy searching for new off-the-wall and hard to reach places for us armchair explores to visit with our more ambitious YouTube hosts. Much thanks to those like “Wonder Hussy” who go to great links to make these videos available on YouTube. Enjoy! . . . Your Editor Dennis Crenshaw
Hiking Up Surprise Canyon to Panamint City Ghost Town
Published on Mar 29, 2017
A VERY strenuous hike to a super-remote ghost town in the Panamint Mountains. Many structures and artifacts remain, both from the mining days and from the hippies that moved in later. A fascinating place, but a REALLY TOUGH HIKE!!
Those of us interested in the subject have heard many stories and rumors of the fabulous treasures hidden in the jungles and mountains in the Philippines. In fact an original THEI correspondent and personal friend of mine, a treasure hunter well know in my neck of the woods moved to the Philippines over 20 years ago to search for treasure with his Filipina wife’s family. His nickname is, of course, Lucky. Although it’s been 15 years since I had any correspondence with him I’d bet he’s still pursuing his quest. . . . your Editor Dennis Crenshaw
