Dear Blam,

Yes — I have been extremely fortunate and Allah has shown great favor to me in providing this priceless treasure into my hands.

However, due to the laws on “antiquities” I can not remove this vast fortune from my country...without outside assistance.

You have been referred to me as a honest man - so I wish to place my total trust in you...

If you will send me all the particulars about your bank account, name, address, mother’s maiden name, social security number and $50,000 in cash as proof of earnest intent - I will transfer all the gold coins, jewels and artifacts to your bank in your name...

If you will hold everything safe, until my exit from Nigeria — you may retain 40% of the total value for your appreciated assistance and I will ask you to return to me - only 60% of the treasure..

Of course at that time - I will also return your $50,000 cash earnest money.

Please respond promptly -— hiding this huge treasure is a problem...

“minted in the late 1400s and early 1500s...”

“the caravel of Bartolomeu Dias, the Portuguese explorer, which went down off the Cape of Good Hope in 1500”

Either the coins are wrong or the hstory is wrong, and they arent Senhor Dias’ bones

Dirk Pitt and NUMA can find anything in the world, and make excuses as to why it was found where it is.

I’d say more about it all, but I’m not getting paid, and the stuff on NUMA.net is far too spendy for me.

However, since I have multiple lines of heritage in the Carribean, I have bone dibs on whatever is picked up. After Dirk, of course.

A Namibian diamond company, Namdeb,

Namdeb is not "a Namibian" diamond company. The "Deb" is DeBeers in Namibian sheep's clothing, just to keep the books honest. Nothing against DeBeers and its international diamond cartel, but clarity begins with clear words.

What did they use copper for back then and I wonder how the copper was found? Was it in ingots or bars? At $2.40 a pound, several tons of the stuff could start to add up fast.

now that’s cool
