After a decade spent studying old maps and documents, artist Mike believes he has found the "X" marking the spot of pirate treasure buried 190 years ago - all £250million of it. If he does unearth the hidden hoard, it will make him and fellow amateur treasure hunter Shaun Whitehead rich beyond their wildest dreams.
An original inventory shows the missing Spanish booty contained 113 gold religious statues, 200 chests of jewels, 250 swords with jewelled hilts, 150 chalices and hundreds of gold and silver bars.
