The Treasure of Poverty Island

Legend has it that $400 million in Civil War era gold lays at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Our guest today may have found it.

This week Cassidy sits down with Steve Libert, shipwreck hunter and founder of Great Lakes Exploration Group. Tune in to hear the origin of this gold and the many attempts to find it throughout history. Other topics include the Le Griffon (aka the "Holy Grail" of shipwrecks), historic diving practices, the Civil War, the Titanic, and the reason why Steve is not swimming in $400 million worth of gold.

If you go and rate the show 5 stars, then you have an opportunity to win either $400 million in gold, or the eternal appreciation of host Cassidy Hough. Both prizes are of equal value.
