"All right, JJ. Pin it here" John B instructs JJ as we were on a boat searching for the gold at the spot Pope have found at the computer "Roger that! X marks the spot" JJ says
"All right, ladies and gentlemen" John B says as he takes a break before saying "to going full kook" he says as he lowers the drone into the water
"All right, JJ, we're right over it. Ten seconds northwest" John B says "got it, ten second northwest"
"One hundred feet" Kie tells the depth of the drone as me and pope were looking at the camera.
A squirts swim into the frame of the drone making Pope gasp "what? What? What? What?" John B quickly response at Popes reaction "it's nothing" he says making John B groans
"Sorry I thought-" pope says "don't do that to me man" JJ says "my bad I just thought I saw..." pope says "it's okay let's just be focused" I says and he nods before he continues to watch the drones camera
"Four hundred feet!" Kie says as she makes a fourth chap mark on the ships rail "the tide's turning" Kie says
"Hey JJ?" John B speaks "yup?" JJ answers "Ten seconds easy, south-southeast" John B says "copy that!"
"JJ, 20 seconds mid-speed, all right? South" John B says "copy that! Aye- aye" JJ says "keep the tether out of the prop!" JJ says to Kie "I am trying" Kie says
"JJ keep going" John B says "John B is that good?" JJ asks "we're good!" He says "okay, 700 feet!" Kie says as she makes another mark on the rail
The weather becomes harsh, the winds starts to get stronger as there was incoming storm clouds "JJ! Hold it steady!" John B says "okay 910!" Kie says "JJ, we'll turtle in this storm" John B says "920!" Kie says
"Crank it north by northwest! Ten seconds!" John B says "Haley how are we doing?" John B asks "almost there" I says "John B there's too much current we're gonna lose it!" Kie says
"South, southwest, JJ! Hard!" John B says before JJ turns the wheel "half speed, steady at this bearing, JJ!" John B says
"What do you got Pope? Haley? Come on what do you see?" John B asks "nothing, a whole out of nothing" Pope answers "you should be right above it" John B says
"I don't know what's wrong" I says "kiara!" Pope yells "960" she says "970" she says as me and Pope were staring at the camera, waiting to see something "980!" Kie says
"Wait I see something" I says "we're at the bottom!" Pope says "okay steady there JJ!" John B says
"You should be seeing something" John B says "I know! I know! Wait, wait" Pope says "oh good god man" I says before Kies walks next to me, also watching the camera "see anything?" JJ asks "it's the royal merchant" John B says
"It's empty" I says as my smile sades away "it's not there" John B says "look just pull the drone up" he adds as I sees everyone's faces is disappointed
"Look we can do another pass. Recharge the battery, go back down" pope says "we've done it three times there's nothing there" JJ says
"Shut up!" Kie yells "what? It's true" JJ says "the gold could he buried, we don't know" Kie says "he's right Kie" I says "if it was there, it would've been found already" John B says
