There is a new show on the history channel, “Lost Gold of the Aztecs”. It’s interesting, the premise... To keep Cortez from stealing a legendary hoard of gold, the Aztecs hid it. Actually hid it where most of it came from, the American southwest. 3 families (whose ancestors were treasure hunters) are searching the southwest in different locations. They have state of the art equipment, these folks are well funded.
I saw the first episode last week. Tonight the 2nd one just ended. It comes on after Oak Island, another well funded treasure hunting show. I enjoy the technical aspect, some old equipment, some new. A lot about geology, another science I enjoy. Heck, once I spent 49 days prospecting in the mountains.
What I don't like about these shows is the breathless narration. Like tonight, listing to the narrator I was sure they found Montezuma's gold bed pan... Instead it was a 50yrold pocket knife somebody dropped... Or breaking away from the show to run a promo commercial... About the Show!!!!! Dummies!
