Captain Carl Fismer and my wife, April, and I welcome you to the The Treasure Chest at The Treasure Experience.  Long before Pirates of the Caribbean, Arthur C. Clarke once wrote, "Sunken Treasure... no words in the language hold more magic.  For who hasn't dreamed, at some time or other, of diving into one of the lost galleons of the Spanish Main, loaded with its cargo gold and silver." 

 

And we couldn't agree more.  Lost or sunken treasure makes the perfect gift, for you, or someone you love.  Each piece is unique and was hundreds of years in the making; there truly are no two pieces alike. 

 

But finding that perfect sunken treasure gift can sometimes be very frustrating.  In recent years, counterfeits from the Orient abound, and depending on where one finds their treasure, they may have paid more than they had to.  We are committed to bringing you the highest quality authentic sunken or lost treasure for the best price that we can.   Compared to modern jewelry, with no history or story to tell, there is no comparison.

 

If you are visiting this page, more than likely you have met one of us during a show, and you know that we pride ourselves on personal service and making sure that you are not just happy with your treasure, but ecstatic!

 

Below are examples of the different types of treasure, and bezels, available.  Not sure what size a coin really is?  Click here to see examples of how U.S. coinage compares in size to lost treasure pieces.

 

As we like to say, the treasure picks the person.  We have pages coming soon with samples of the treasure we have in stock.  Since we are full time treasure hunters and dealers, our stock is always changing.  So if you see a piece you like, contact us right away.

 

All treasure comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, numbered and personally signed by each of us.  

 

Enjoy your own search for treasure!

The Taj Mahal Sunken Treasure, silver rupees recovered by Clarke (Treasure of the Great Reef, 1964) before he wrote 2001: a space odyssey.  As of May, 2008, there are now only 424 of these exquisite coins available.  Set in a hand crafted 14K gold bezel accented with moonstones brought back from Sri Lanka when Carl Fismer and Robert Lewis Knecht were filming Arthur C. Clarke: before 2001, this treasure is truly for that person who has everything.  Each bezel is custom crafted per order.
