This Is The Most Valuable Treasure Ever Found 

The fact that the government tried to take it from him,and he threatened to throw it in the ocean is pure gold.

Tucker: I have the rarest emerald found in a shipwreck Villager: 5 wheat, take it or leave it

Imagine the grandchild of the thief that stole the emerald cross watching this while the cross is just chillin in the china cabinet downstairs

Gosh that’s so disappointing, that cross is gorgeous. I hope they find it again one day! Probably just sitting in someone’s safe atm.

The moral of the story is, "When you find something of value, sell it, if you don't it will be taken anyway".

Tucker: Finds the most valuable treasure in history. The Government of Bermuda: Hippity Hoppity this is now my property.

The fact this man spent his time doing what he loved and and finding artifacts of old only for it to have been stolen is seriously so sad. That made sad hearing that man had his work stolen. He seemed like such a sweet and nice guy.

I was born and raised in Bermuda and remember as a young boy in the early 70's taking a school field trip to the BDA Aquarium and seeing the display of Tucker's cross. Also the story of how it was a replica and the original was stolen. I had forgotten about it until I saw this video.

Well, it's fairly certain that the Tuckers cross is at the hands of a collector by now. So probably not lost, but merely hidden until revealed again in the future. And it will probably increase tenfold in price too.

Plot twist: That ambassador was like hell nah im getting my hands on this, now praise this plastic fraud instead.

10:28 - Thank you, Thoughty2. I cannot explain how happy it made me to hear an _Englishman_ use "dove", instead of "dived".

Man, I really just love all of your vids. The rythm, the pacing, the subject, the flow, the editing, the random lines, the trivial know. Entertaining storytelling, but even more is the mustache though. I even heard several awesome rapline starters in your vids. Crisp structures. Really taken on a journey! Also what a story! Teddy Tucker, the human fishman

Lesson : Just sell for best price to private collectors, because through payment to the finder or payment to master thief, it will end up in the same place.

A man of adventure and principle. Cutting that 200k offer to maintain the history rather than a private collector was really admirable.

You’re a RU-vid treasure sir. Thank you for all your work!

Reminded me of One Piece. Even fish people are in this tale lmao. Nice vid as always!

“That belongs in a museum!” “So do you!”

Let's agree that thoughty's moustache is the most priceless treasure of all.

Anyone else expecting a burst into song "I'm a lumberjack... and its okay?

Imagine just helping your grandfather clean out his attic and finding Tucker’s Cross like “Hey Grandpa, whats this?” “Oh thats one of the world’s most valuable treasures that I stole before the Queen of England could see it”

Ah yes, emeralds and cocaine, that's the might of my homeland.

I like how he photoshops one of the ships from Flameheart's fleet in Sea of Thieves onto realistic-looking water. I applaud the resourcefulness.

What makes jewelry thieves the worst of all thieves is the fact that you can’t actually sell it after you steal it. Because anyone with a brain can identify pieces like that instantly it means the thieves have to strip the jewels and melt down the gold and sell them individually for a much smaller amount than the whole thing together was worth.

Given the “All Clear” then it sinks. Well done that man.

Late 2020: Love the reference to insurance companies hiking premiums. With the barrage of personal insurance commercials, it's equivalent to "death and taxes"

You’d think they would have super high security like with people guarding ONE OF THE MOST VALUED TREASURES 24/7

The end of this story just breaks my heart :(

I looked up the Muzo mines and the conquistadors in Colombia, and learned a lot. Many thanks, Thoughty2. I particularly liked 'what's mine is mine, including your mines', to ineptly summarise. When you conclude - another unsolved mystery in the Devil's triangle, it is like the end of a poetic film, a sigh from the same part of Ongeland that I'm from. I am currently lobbying a thankless family for an Xmas pressie of your flaggy stick book. I'm not an adolescent wide-eyed over an atlas, resulting in a sticky flag book. Takk.

So a British Monarch got interested in a particular country's jewels and precious metals and they were subsequently never seen again? I'm shocked I tell you!

Lesson of the story: Don't be a moral fool like Teddy, take the money and live your life.

"For every lucky lad who suddenly became rich; there's countless other lads who have been responsible for relieving the lucky lad of his fortune!" (Ancient proverb)

“Booty! If you will” I will indeed you brilliant british man

Sea of Thieves in the thumbnail, nice

It would be nice to follow up with a video on the city Port Royal , once called the most wicked city on earth, filled with pirates

Lone this vid! I’ve been to Bermuda twice and got married at Stonehole Bay. The island is incredible. Palaces like Bora Bora and the GBR are far better diving but the charm of Bermuda is undeniable. In from the Washington DC area. 1.5 hour flight and your there. Guest houses can be rented for pennies on the dollar from the large resorts. My fav was in Spanish Point. A lovely couple and their dog, Bully made this stay magical. 20 yards ot the greenest grass led me to the cliffs down to a private cove and swimming beach. Amazing snorkeling and exploring. Elbow beach, Horseshoe and the like are amazing but privacy is easily available. An amazing 3 day trip can easily be done!

Always love a good treasure story. Good one T2!

I constantly wonder... when he turns 42 will he actually say "42 here" XD

*The queen stole it. That cross is in London right now.*

What’s a US ambassador doing with that much money buying jewelry, that’s the real question...

Sells the most valuable artifacts to the museum by turning down an offer several times higher. Ends up stolen without a trace. Biggest insult ever

And the moral of this story is - TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN when they give you a good offer!

The Museums take most treasures and leave them locked away never to be seen again! Trust me on this as I am a detectorist that has seen many treasures lost under the process of cataloguing and identifying. Great Video once again T2! Anything to do with treasure and mysteries always gets me!

Just like many stories about humans, this one too is about greed.

Lol what a boss move from tucker to say he'll put the cross back where he found it so the government can search it itself.

Ohh wow.. Tucker found my cross. I knew I dropped it somewhere. I should thank him and of course reclaim my property.

I just appreciate this man for giving us all of this knowledge and keeping it entertaining at the same time. Thank you thoughty2

teddy stole his own treasure and hid it back in the ocean till he needed it

Teddy is one of those people whose name you don't know but when you see a picture you exclaim "Ohhhh! That guy!" 🤣🤣🤣

even after all these amazing discoveries teddy has never seen two pretty best friends.

the most important treasure ever found: *the wi-fi password*

I’m thinking the queen had something to do with it. As soon as she heard of Spanish gold, she must’ve said, “that belongs to England!” Let’s remember now, that the English stole a lot of gold from the Spanish back in the day

Liz turns up and gems go missing. That actually seems like a common theme among the highest quality gems in the world and British royalty. Has anyone checked the Tower of London to see if a golden cross with 5 emeralds on it has inexplicably turned up?

I remember that incident. The whole island seemed to be shocked. Teddy Tucker was himself suspected. My stepfather was involved with that investigation being a detective Inspector in the Bermuda Police force, in charge of the Criminal Records Office and he was the only person on the Island at that time that came anywhere near to being qualified as a forensic scientist. He was also at that time, the official island escort for all Royalty and Presidents who visited Bermuda.

your work rate has been insane lately

He sold it to the Ambassador for 200,000 as long as she kept it known only to a few. Then he sold the replica!!! He knew that sooner than later the truth will come out so it was him who called out the fake upon the Queen's visit!!!! What else you guys wanna know??? I will answer two more questions!!

"Rich people, poor people, red people, blue people... Everyone likes shiney green stones." And purple people

I was born to drink myself stupid and philosophize the nature of humanity.

I love this guy and his channel. I can watch him all day.

42, love your channel mate. You're hilarious! I subscribed. 17:52 "or even a single suspect.." Pans to pic of Queen Elizabeth! 🤣🤣

10:00 MOST treasure hunters would have stayed until after the storm, as a storm in shallow waters like that will move the pieces of ship (and the sand) around potentially revealing stuff unseen in the previous 6 days.

The fellas at oak island would kill for this guys career lol 😂

" What's mine is mine " " What's yours is also mine " " Including your mines " This definitely describes every colonizer in history.

“It belongs in a museum!” Mr Jones.

I listen to you while driving and sometimes your sound effects are so realistic and startling that I jerk my steering wheel. Love your channel!

"Digging through brain coral in his undies" omg 😹😂

I’m been subbed to this channel for more than two years and every time he started the video saying,”hey, thoughty2 here” I always heard it as “hey, 42 here.” I just assumed he really liked the Hitman games or something. 😅 not until 3 mins ago when I read the channel’s name out loud that it hit me. 🤣🤣

Actually the Bermuda triangle does mess with compasses, I have gone fishing in it many times and at least 2 of those times our compas started going wild.

13:05 You forgot to mention Minecraft Villagers

Thoughty, i hope they use you to replace David Attenborough! You have the best speaking voice for history and animal documentaries!

What a legend Mr. Tucker was/is selfless patriot. Respect. love your content Mr. T'

Ahhh Spanish treasures, the source of every Caribbean story.

This is like the perfect voice and facts to listen to before dinner 👍👍

Everyone’s ‘First!’ until they refresh...

Cant wait for my kid' s kids to watch your kid's kid talk about how Tucker's Cross was stolen and discovered on Mars in 2045.

I know this probably isn't how the exchange went down but I refuse to picture the discussion between him and the gov officials as anything other than "Hey that's ours" "Ok" "You shouldn't have it" "Ok" "So you should -" "I should put it back where you guys had it before so you can find it." "..." "Oh, you can't. That's why I have it and you don't."

As a Spaniard I'm thoroughly and unironically enjoying hearing this lad butchering names whenever they come across. Not an easy task guessing the pronounciation of old spanish names, man

These rumours are getting ridiculous now A octopus is a alien

See, that is why bureaucracy is important. A theft like that wouldn't have happened in the UK, it would have had to be a lot more elaborate than just changing out a plastic replica for the real one. Besides, if I were chris tucker, I would have not let go off that cross.

That was a wonderful tale. Thank you Thoughty 2

*looks at thumbnail* ah yes, the worlds most expensive treasure is inside a Flameheart gallion

Cats: meow Dogs: woof 9-year-olds: *FIRST FIRST*

It is amazing how many Galleons and other vessels crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific during Spanish rule. Those Galleons were heavy ships capable of carrying huge loads. This made them easy victims of storms and pirates. On Mindoro Philippines is a natural port called Puerto Galera. The name says it all. The Spanish ships frequently waited there for the right season to cross the Pacific. I met a professional diver who was part of an official archeological expedition. He explained the dangers of depth and currents exploring the wrecks in the waters surrounding the island. Only the bravest and toughest succeed in going down there, recording the wrecks and rescuing the treasurs and artifacts. It is more a dangerous job than an adventure. Every Silver Peso minted in the Philippines came from Mexican and other Latin American mines. The Spanish ships carried silk, Chinese porcellan, ivory, gems and all the other riches Asia had to offer over the Pacific to Acapulco. There the crews received their payment in silver and gold. This silver and gold was brought westward to the Philippines. There are many sunken ships in the Philippines as well. Typhons and other disasters let many ships sink. The waters in the western Pacific often get very deep very quickly. This is an obstacle of rescuing those treasures. The valuable cargo out of Asia was transported on land from Acapulco Mexico and elsewhere to Yucatan. There it was loaded on Galleons going towards Spain. That is one of the reasons why there are so many wrecks of Spanish ships in the Carribbean.

Somewhere out there somebody has this priceless cross it’s so crazy to think about

Is that Sea Of Thieves ship in the thumbnail?

"The ocean can be a dangerous place" and it's extra dangerous when a ship is being operated beyond it's engineering limits.

No one: Humans: "need shiny rock"

Three people: born to care for the sick, born to inspire change, born to...explore the ocean in your underwear. Yep, I know which one I'd rather be.

*Reads title* , "So *One Piece* lied to me!?"

you should do an episode on how horrific Mother Theresa actually was.

Thought looks like if Freddy Mercury and Don Fry had a baby

That US ambassador got me "hmmmm $200k from tax payer's money, why not?". They've always been corrupt.

if I ever find anything as valuable as that I would 100% sell it to some rich person, not only for the money, but also because people of means are a hell of a lot more responsible than any government agency full of people who don't really give a sh*t.

" should have sold it to the rich old lady " 😄👍👍🇺🇸

i can't be the only person after watching this to think the Queen might have it...

One of the most beautiful relic... stolen and may have been melted just for the gold and the emerald extracted to be sold and reshape.

I swear he started saying "heyy 42 here"

plot twist: Mother Teresa was an absolute monster of a person.

The reasoning of insurance for the Bermuda triangle being not haunted is the best I've heard so far, I love it and will now use it when telling people it's bs 😂

"*Everyone* likes shiny green stones." Kryptonians don't seem too fond of them

I’ve learned so much from this channel
