OK, I am hooked on watching. I remember the Reader's Digest story from, I believe 1963, and it did fascinate me then as it does now. But I have to say it seems they waste a whole lot of money, good that THC picked up some of the tab.
So, Why do you suppose they think that at the bottom of a shaft dug 30+ years ago there could be a man made chamber 235 feet down? Especially one where it was dug because of dowsing. First they say that Blankenship saw a dead body a chest and a square pillar. They then send down sonar that indicates two pillars, a dead body, chest and what appears to look like man made tunnels. Which they then send down an ROV and see none of that. They see what appears to be drill casings but no body, no chest, no man made tunnels. What is impressive is that Blankenship had the money and the ability to dig the 10X shaft in the first place.
The sword they found is just too convenient. Plant or shear luck?
So into the second season they have pretty well discovered NOTHING.
First of all, if I think there is an underground cavern dug by someone they didn't dig it straight down there has to be tunnels leading to it, I would be looking for those tunnels.
And who in the hell would put treasure at the bottom of the money pit and booby trap it so even they couldn't retrieve the treasure?
I think that the guy who did it right, although not very environmentally sound, was the guy who just dug a huge hole in the ground. He too never found a thing to speak of and went broke.
So there are three options which I adhere to the latter. One there is a treasure which will never be discovered because of all the searching already done, there never was a treasure and the whole story was made up, or I am crazy for wasting my time.
