Keith Jessop is the most successful treasure hunter and salvage diver in history,a man who has made - and lost - millions rescuing treasure from the deep.The illegitimate son of a penniless Yorkshire mill-girl,he left school without a single qualification and,to make ends meet,he started salvaging scrap metal from shallow water wrecks off the coast of Scotland using the inner tube of a tractor tyre with a basket fixed in the centre as a vessel.Always ready to embrace danger,he learned to deep dive during a series of spectacularly risky recoveries in ever more treacherous waters working on the salvage divers' harsh principle of 'No Cure,No Pay'. It was only with advances in technology,allowing longer and deeper dives that his dream of recovering the HMS Edinburgh's gold began inching towards reality. . . . GOLDFINDER is the extraordinary true story of Keith's progress from aquatic Steptoe and Son to salvaging the richest prize of all - over $100 million of Russian gold - from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. GOLDFINDER is a compelling adventure story of the discovery of untold riches against the backdrop of piracy,big business,government conspiracy,treachery and betrayal and even the alleged involvement of a leading member of the Royal Family,encompassing the thrills and terror of deep sea diving and the awesome,unforgiving power of the ocean.
