May 2019, It appears I was a decade to early for my discussion on the 'Sunken Treasure of Poverty Island'. Lately television favorites like History, Discovery and others have been inundated with programs like: Curse of OAK Island, Curse of Civil War Gold and Lost Gold of WW2 or (something close to that). I guess like all things in life "timing is everything". There will be a new book coming out soon which is a more complete and updated guide to the 'Poverty Island Treasure Brief' which was available in the 1990's and early 2000's. The new book is far more complete and details the entire movement of the legendary treasure. And, you need not wait for five years to find out the next insignificant something.
