Hidden Treasures of the Bahamas
Come all ye prospectors and listen to me
A short simple story I’ll tell unto ye
Concerning two (2) men who started to rove

Being asked to speak about hidden treasures in the Bahamas is like being asked to speak about the heat in the Sahara Desert, or the cold at the North Pole; the Bahamas is itself a veritable hidden treasure in the opinion of many.

So I will now tell you about the hidden treasure of the sort you think of.
There is a word that is used in science called extrapolation. What that refers to is looking at where something begins and where it will end up.

It is well-known that the cargo passing through The Bahamas was not usually precious cargo. Even though that was the case, there have been discoveries of valuable treasures such as ancient guns of bronze and iron, navigational instruments, coins, and various other artifacts. After
