Man claims that Google Earth points to a lost treasure ship


A Los Angeles man claims that Google Earth points to a lost treasure ship that sank off the Texas coast two centuries ago - but owners of the land the ship's buried under won't let him dig for gold, Fox News reports.

Nathan Smith, a musician and history buff, was fiddling with the program when he spotted an unusual pattern off the coast of Refugio, a small town near Corpus Christi.

On a whim, Smith grabbed a metal detector and headed for Texas. The detector pointed to a boatload of gold, silver and other treasure, Smith told Texas authorities of the December finding.

The buried treasure ship is likely an ancient Spanish boat that could be carrying billions of dollars in booty, Smith said. SOURCE
