PinGGG?.....................
Nice sharing Adults
Sorry folks, that’s not the real ship. It’s a replica I had built a little while back. I’ll go ahead and swing by and clean it up and recover my gold. Sorry if it got in anyone’s way.
That photo looks like the fishing boat that my Great Grandfather owned.
I believe it sank in that area.
Anything found from that boat belongs to me!
“...Russia and South Korean projects, such as a railroad connecting Russia with Korea...”
This railroad would connect Russia with NORTH Korea first...
Would you feel comfortable riding a train from South Korea to Russia THROUGH North Korea?????????
“The company said in a statement: “We spotted things that look like treasure boxes, but we have not opened them yet. “
““We will open them up in due course.” “

Well I wanted to say this isn’t really proof.
I however was going to say “what, does this look like a boat which would carry a huge fortune?”
But yes, actually. It sort of does.
The key question is will they televise it and have Geraldo Rivera on hand when they open the boxes?
Ping.
We should ‘plant’ secret treasure where 2 nations can fight over it. I say Shia/Sunni types. I was once tole that 7 Jewish bankers get together every year in Geneva and decide where in the world they will start wars.
Dibs!
Hahaha.
Yup. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Thanks.
Oh good. They finally found my property.
Just send it to lowbridge, care of freerepublic, USA. Thanks in advance.
I appreciate your attention to detail. Stocking it with real gold was a nice touch.
I read somewhere that at the Battle of Lepanto, where a Christian European navy defeated the Turks in 1571, that the Turk commander, Ali Pashi, lost all his gold when his ship went down. A very wealthy man, he carried it with him wherever he went, the story said, because Turkey didn’t have banks or financial institutions of any kind one could trust. So he felt it was safer in a warship in the middle of a battle.
Surely the Russians wouldn’t face the same situation centuries later?
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Wasn’t the Russian Navy the biggest navy up to this event(1904-5 Russo-Japanese War). If I remember right from my tiny amount of history this War pretty much destroyed most of the Russian Navy or a certain part of it, kind of like what happened during the the Battle of Midway during WWII.
That I don’t know...................
This seems incredible to me. 100 billion British lbs is about 130 billion US dollars. At the current gold price, (approx $1225/oz) this would equate to over 5 million pounds of gold. Could this one ship hold so much? Is my math flawed? Did they mean 130 million lbs, not billion?
That seems more likely...................it’s British tabloids..............
