How One Treasure Hunter Got Screwed Out of a Fortune | Joe Rogan and Forrest Galante

Jaja satans stats hoveder typisk

Pawn stors wil take it

Will only keep getting worse until people grow some balls.

I would have melted it all down, made a bunch of metallic "bookmarks" out of them, bought a bunch of Bibles to put them in and brought them all to Thailand or some other country to sell.

This is what has been wrecking havoc on my mental lately... How can all these powerful entities like governments and corporations keep committing grave injustices with no repercussion? How am I supposed to cope with this s*?

European history is not history...its a rewrite of history

Oh man oh man oh man

I'll take things that didn't happen for $500 Alex.
The Australian guy knew where a Spanish wreck was, correct. But he found an engraved 'postal stone'. A similar postal stone was found in Cape Town, South Africa, left by Portuguese Captain Cristovao de Mendonca 1524. There is also a very detailed map of Sydney Cove in The Los Angeles Library Vault. The map belonged to Mendonca. This rewrites Australian history. It wasn't just the Dutch, who came and left thinking the Indigenous were giants and the Chinese who regularly traded with the Indigenous. The Portuguese also came long before the British expedition and Cook 'discovered' Australia, who actually just mapped the east coast of Australia.

id blow the museum up jfc

The guy was a fool, it was gold, and completely untraceable for that reason. He could’ve melted it down and just sold it.

Australia is evil...

"spends 10 of thousands of dolalrs - he is not a rich man"

bruh what ?

There is no source for this

Never report to the government. Satan is real and he's elected lol

So legally Most treasures From wrecks are not yours. Under maritime law, and Most countries have a law about treasure, its either you can keep some of it, or it becomes state own because the original owner is dead, or you get taxes part of its worth or etc. Look them up before you go treasure hunting.

Who's inscription is on the coins will claim them.
Tommy Thompson's is the guy he's talking about, been in jail for five years because he refuses to disclose the whereabouts of the coins. Again who's inscription is on them.

Rule #1 don’t trust the government.

What does he mean what are the rules?!?! FINDERS KEEPERS we’ve known since kids

Finders keepers especially when you swam past some of the worlds deadliest sea creatures

You would have to be an idiot to declare anything to these corrupt governments

JOE WHY DON'T YOU DO A SHOW ABOUT VICTORIA PEAK AND THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE

WHATS DRIVING ME CRAZY IS I CANT FIND THIS STORY ANY WHERE!!!!!!

Go straight to another country

He evaded his investors cut and ran away from court

Does anyone know who the treasure hunter is? I wonder what he is doing now.

Here's the difference, in the US, you get to keep what you find, as long as you are fair with your partners. Everywhere else, you are subject to the government because you have no rights.

Should be finders keepers idiot government always greedy.

Store up treasure in Heaven

His name is Allen Robinson. I've dived with him. He has discovered many more ship wrecks off west Australian coast an has now sadly passed on . RIP Allen 😢 love you my friend

government is trash

Austrailian Government has Always been bunch a evil sons btches. (As is all governments)

I found $65k of teal green Oregon Sunstones in 2 weeks at MY mine and People (not everyone, some peoplecare still ok I.E. Don Bufford previous Dustdevil mine owner good guy) at other mines started some halacious stories. Ive not experienced jelousy on such a scale. Had to carry my .44 Everywhere and get the stones outta the area. My point is .... Keep Your Mouth shut. Its not worth the recognition

The only thing I'd declare is that the government sucks

If this is about Alan Robinson, he liked to use explosives and killed himself when he was in prison awaiting trial for trying to kill his ex-wife. He was a hero to plenty of people that don’t care about anything or anyone in pursuit of feeding their own greed. This guy’s take, if we’re talking about the same person, must be after believing every word that came out of his mouth like a rube.

Yes I knew Alan Robinson in Dampier WA and also had a couple of beers with him in Perth.
You could write a book on this guy.
He was a stocky solid guy and was also charged in Perth WA for having an illegal weapon as in a spear gun with an explosive power head he was using to shoot a troublesome shark in Perths Swan River. Hw ended up committing suicide in a Melbourne Gaol I think.

Cool but crazy story !! Government should pay for the hard work and dedication for finds like this.

Marine salvage used to be legal before the commies of the UN "UNESCO" colluded with other commies to steal what they want! Why isn't Spain all over this? Just like when, Obama helped steal 500,000 sliver coins from Odessey Marine corporation and hand them over to Spain?

These stories are hilarious.
Ofcorse no source what so ever, and when you look it up there's nothing to be found about it. Except some guy who told this fantastic story in the Joe Rogan show.
And right away everyone thinks it true.😂😂😂

Where is the bigger story for more info on this?

Bullshit who is the guy? This guy is friends with a treasure hunter and doesn't give his name

Spanish ship goes down, but the man needs and excavator to get the treasure… I smell bullshit in this story, excavators don’t work too well under water

So kinda like any work any of us do

so is the best thing to do is just declare what you will spend...keep all the gold

Reminds me of the ship The Odessey. That found a gold shipment that went down during the Napoleonic wars off of Spain. They found the gold/ silver coins, and cataloged everything only to fight in court with the Spanish government over ownership. The Spaniards won. It was MILLIONS in coins.

So I am a JRE fan, but have spent countless hours trying to research this story and have reached the conclusion the muppet Rogan is talking with is completely full of bullshit.

There has been no documented discovery of shipwrecks in Western Australia bearing any resemblance to this story. The muppet in this clip fabricating the claim says the coins are on display in the WA Museum. I have gone through not only WA media clips for the last few decades to find reference to the story, I have also reviewed the entire WA Museum shipwreck catalogue to try and find the ship in question. I have even gone through the entire WA Museum's numismatic (coin) catalogue of over 16,000 coins to find substance to this story.

There has only been 1 shipwreck found in Western Australia in the last 20 years that contained coins of any nature. The Correio da Azia, and that discovery was found by a commercial salvage company. Every other wreck, discovered by either private individuals, commercial companies, or the WA government largely occurred before 1970. Every other wreck, discovered by either private individuals, commercial companies, or the WA government occurred before 1970, and none of those wrecks either correlate to his claims.

The following I have directly pulled from the WA Museum's catalogue of records (publicly available online) to show all of the wrecks, and their salvaged findings, that have occurred in Western Australia.

Batavia - Found in 1963 be private individuals. Extensively looted before salvage overtaken by WA government.
Vergulde Draak - Found in 1963 by private individuals. Extensively looted before salvage overtaken by WA Government. 5214 silver coins of various value found.
Zuiddorp - Found in 1927, reported to authorities in 1941. 1964 was the first attempt to salvage, successful in 1967. Undertaken between private individuals then overtaken by WA Government. 2321 silver coins of various value found so far.
Correio da Azia - Found in 2004 by the company Fugro Survey and support by WA Government. 1163 silver coins of various value found and on display.
Rapid - Largely was immediately salvaged after it sank in 1813. Remainder of wreck was salvaged by WA Department of Maritime Archaeology in 1979. 19,000 silver coins of various value foundfound.
Zeewijk - Wreck found by WA Government in 1968. Only copper coins found - 34 of them.

I'm sure no one will read this comment. But misinformation is so frequent these days it doesn't hurt to take some time and look into the BS claims being peddled by bogus muppets.

It pays to know the law before you spend your life hunting treasure.

Indiana Jones says it belongs in a museum

The government steals shit? Nahhh. What did we learn?

So, you're telling me, if I find historically rare gold or artifact made of gold, instead of telling the government I should melt it and sell it piece by piece?

Imagine after hearing this, Australian government in 100 years would ask themselves, hmm, apparently, we have not discovered or found any historical gold coins in 100 years, why is that?
Very big brain of them shooting an arrow into their own foot but this time, it would take time to make them realize what they have done

The finder should recieve 50-60 percent of the value. So the man should have got at least 5 million.
