Here, Gates talks about the episode.
OnThe Secret: “Like a lot of people, I heard about it third-hand somewhere.
It kind of fell into obscurity and it was something that really got reignited by the internet.
It’s fairly straightforward.
This author Byron published this book and did this really brave in thing.
This group of friends who got together and found this treasure box in their home city.
And then 20 years went by and nobody found one.
And then in 2004 two lawyers from New Jersey discovered the second box buried in Cleveland.
So what we do is take people back through where we are up to this point.
Two boxes have been found, 10 are still missing.
And you know, my own relationship with the story is that we’ve made two episodes aboutThe Secret.
The difference is that he attached a photo with a broken piece of ceramic.
Having seen the other two boxes, this looked really familiar to me.
So I called him up immediately.
I was in the Indian Ocean making a show.
I called him up and I said, ‘Jason, what the hell is this?
Where did you find this?’
