'Treasure Hunt' is the story of a national obsession. Dreams of Spanish treasure, of unearned gold at the bottom the sea, have been a part of the English psyche since long before effective diving equipment was invented. Peter Earle examines this phenomenon - of outstanding bravery, exceptional recklessness, and dreams of treasure.
