...worst an unscrupulous hustler. Twenty years ago, Fisher and his indomitable wife Dolores, 46, began their search for the legendary lost galleons. Following a trail discovered by Historian Eugene Lyon in 1970 at the Archive of the Indies in Seville, Spain, Fisher found the wrecks lying in shallow water 30 miles west of Key West. So far, Treasure Salvors has recovered some 30,000 artifacts from both ships.

And under the action, jazz-rock music - a hum of bass, synthesizer and baritone sax - moves continuously, like a shark in shallow water. To be sure, Vortex engages the eye, not the gut. But for $80,000, an eyes-only feast should be enough...
