I guess the jobs really are out there IF you know where to look.
Mark,
I can out do that one!
While looking for diamonds on Africas richest diamond coast, diggers found an old shipwreck that was covered by mud from the same storm that sunk it, loaded with gold and silver, to buy diamonds with long ago! Crazy, but true, I read it in a magazine:

GYSC,
"Treasure hunters are never going to be a problem here, not in the middle of one of the world's most jealously guarded diamond mines, on a coast whose very name—Sperrgebiet—means "forbidden zone" in German. Far from plundering, officials at De Beers and in the Namibian government, who work the lease as a joint venture called Namdeb, suspended their operations around the wreck site, called in a team of archaeologists, and for a few gloriously diverting weeks mined history instead of diamonds."
That just figures, lol.
Sorry, but one change:
they were sailing to India for spices, not Africa for diamonds, I was wrong on that point. Still, crazy story!
my verification is "traters", heck thats almost taters, oooh tater tots!
