Brezlin if you’re asking me I am not sure. I was just looking through anything Fisher and I found that story. Sort of contradicts what is being said on here. Oh them greedy Fishers, but give away the best emerald they had to cancer research.
If you take into account how Jay handled his magnificent treasure find and compare it to how Mel and his find it’s not even comparable.
How can anyone stand by and support Jay and how he went about his discovery and compare it to Mel and his discovery, it really is the reason Jay finds himself in court on fraud allegations, and Mel died a famous treasure hunter. And his sons and their son carry on the famous Fishers name.
I remember back when Mel found the Atocha and speaking to a few of the divers. They were airlifting around the main pile when they hit a pocket of emeralds and emeralds were sent everywhere. That’s why till this day they can dredge an area of sand shells and muck put it on deck and cull through it and still find emeralds. And what a perfect way to keep the investors occupied. I think its brilliant as it frees up the deck of the other ship from spectators as they go about the professional search for the stern castle. Believe me the Fishers don’t need to play that planting the artifact game. Their area will be producing treasure long after were dead and gone.
Something else I just read. (Jay compared to Mel not in this life.) Read this and maybe people will understand who was the real fraudster?
Mel Fisher's great human qualities
The characterization of Mel Fisher by some as "the world's greatest treasure hunter" is undoubtedly true, but may not be appropriate, as it may covey the wrong impression of a gold digger whose actions were motivated purely by profit and the urge to get rich quick. On the contrary, the way Mel Fisher went about his quest for lost treasures, with due respect to the laws of the nation, overcoming all odds and taking special precautions to preserve anything of historical and archeological importance, for the sake of posterity, irrespective of their enormous monetary value, eventually setting up the non-profit initiative known as the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society and Museum, to display the rare artifacts retrieved from a salt water grave, are qualities of a great human being who wanted to use his God given talents for the benefit of all humanity and create a lasting legacy touching the lives of the ordinary people.
