Raymond Kosschuk with some of the artefacts found in a field he believes holds King John's treasure

KINGS
Steely Dan

Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin’

[Chorus:]
We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line

[Chorus:]
We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

I forget what % goes to the Crown but I remember it is really high

Josh Gates will be right there.

[Rebelbase]

I always make a public broadcast about the location of treasure before I dig it up.

Is he any relation to Josh Gates from The History Channel? If he is, it is guaranteed he won’t find it.

He had his little ways."

This quest to excavate this find area has been going on for some time - recall seeing a documentary where they found a distinctive piece of jewelry that was likely part of the haul.

The site must be under some kind of protection, and they’re having to try to drum up demand to allow the dig(s).
