Yeah, they dug all the way down as far as these guys have and had internal combustion machines to do the digging and pumps to pump out the water. Ok. And they buried the loot rather than just blow on booze and women.

Sounds like the program is over your head. That’s okay, though - don’t worry about it.

So they wasted it?

just wrong. the techniques of subsurface mining have been known for thousands of years. Even so called ‘cave men’ had deep mines. internal combustion machines and pumps are just modern labor saving devices doing what people did by hand and some times using animals to work the pumps.

Why so you imagine the blew all their money on booze and women? Because that’s what they did in the movies? You really are lacking in the history department. Spend some time at the library, please; there are lots of biographies and historical accounts from that time on pirates and on mining as well.
