B E A U F O R T, N.C., Sept. 29 — If you look very
carefully among the thousands of shipwrecks that
dot the Carolina coast, perhaps you can see the
shimmer of hidden gold.

To Phil Masters, the lure of that sunken
treasure was so strong that he gave up a
life in New York to go searching for it.
“I had a beautiful home in the suburbs,
two cars in the driveway and my wife kept
saying to me, what’s wrong? Why aren’t
you happy,” Masters says.
He was bored, he says. So for the last
14 years — in between working various
jobs to pay the bills — he has focused on
finding the El Salvador, a Spanish
merchant ship destroyed by a storm in
1750, reportedly with $100 million in gold onboard.
“El Salvador has the potential to be the richest shipwreck
ever found in American waters,” he says.
