Gold Hunters... Heads Up click on link for the whole story abcnews.go.com 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.
