## HEADING: ADVENTURE - WATER

## LEFT COLUMN
1121. DISCOVERIES UNDERWATER 1.
TREASURE IS TROUBLE 3/21/88 (Series) 3/21/88
In but: Archaeologists and adventurers search
the world's lakes and seas, uncovering riches
and ancient civilizations, in this eight-part series.
And in the opener, archaeology and adventure
collide. Treasure salvor Mel Fisher has found
over $170 million in "booty" in his 10-year quest
for the mother lode of a Spanish galleon that
sank in 1622 off the Florida Keys. Privately fund-
ed, Fisher pays off his costs by dividing the
treasures among employees and investors who
say they're "buying a small piece of history."
Across the Atlantic, Richard Lam "hoovers up
coins" from the Admiral Gardner, a ship that
sank in 1809 off the south coast of England.
Although Fisher and Lam now employ full-time
archaeologists to ensure proper documentation
and preservation of invaluable historical informa-
tion, many archaeologists believe that treasure
hunting is simply profiteering. Says the Univer-
sity of South Carolina's Alan B. Albright: "A clash
of values exists as to whether the material is
worth something historically, for the benefit of
the Nation... versus the benefit of private in-
dividuals." (60 min.)
