When I was much younger, I read the actual story, what I believe was the original story in “readers digest”. The little 8x5 size “book”. Read it on the shitter (ya, sue me but you all do this, and cell phones weren’t even invented at this time) at my grandparents farm house.
It was really interesting at the time!! So when they made a tv program about, I was all in, already hooked! But over the years it’s apparent it’s just become a money grab for the laginas and their family. Heavily sponsored and commercialized.
I know they have spent quite a lot of their own money, but I imagine they have recouped a lot of it as well from the show and the side gigs like the vineyards. No doubt they really want to find treasure, but it’s time to give it up. It’s not there, probably never was there, so everything they do now is to make it seem exciting and string us along show to show.
At least Geraldo and Al Capones vaults had the decency to cut bait when it was apparent it was a dead end, nothing burger. Time for these guys to follow suit.
