Savvy Searcher Spots $3 Billion in Booty From Computer

Nathan Smith is my kind of treasure hunter. Rather than traipse all over the countryside following some map, he just sat in front of Google Earth and carefully and methodically found a buried treasure in South Texas. Smith also watched the location with updated satellite images to make sure nobody else was poking around before he could stake a legal claim to the buried treasure.

Smith is convinced that the booty includes a boatload of gold and silver sand. From the other information he could locate on Google, he thinks he sees the X where the treasure lies. If he’s right, about $3 billion in bullion lies in his future. He was inspired to hunt treasure by the Nicolas Cage movie ‘National Treasure.’

The ship supposedly sank only to later be found by the Comanche Indians who buried some of it. Smith testifies that the locations appears to look something like a shoe print and that you can see an actual “X” where he thinks part of the ship’s capstan is. (chron)
