I touched a big chunk of this gold at the Mel Fischer Museum! Also while in Key west, while visiting the Montello fort, met a guy who had worked for Mel before the treasure was located. Since the results up to that point had been nil, this guy, "Gibby", had quit and left the Keys. He said the day before they left, Mel drove up in his old Cadillac. "Let me show you something." Mel opened the trunk, to reveal the anchor! Too bad this guy "jumped ship" when he did... The anchor demonstrated that they were looking in the right place, and the remainder was located soon thereafter! Gibby did not get a cut of the booty.
