Treasure hunt began in space, but will it find gold?

Professional treasure hunter Darrell Miklos talks to Kathryn Ryan about searching for long-lost shipwrecks using a map that his friend put together in space! NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper was a space pioneer, setting a record that still holds today for the longest solo space flight in US history. In the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, he was sent on a secret mission for the US Department of Defense to search for nuclear sites. While he was scouring the globe he discovered something else: shipwrecks. It was to be a secret he would keep for over 40 years. Cooper’s Treasure begins on Thursday 4th May at 9.30pm on the Discovery Channel.
