Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

jameseoberg Spaceflight historians and program veterans have serious problems with the fundamental premises of this show. They say there never was such a sensor on Mercury-9, there never was the slightest justification of putting such a sensor on it when airplanes could carry the sensor more effectively and cheaply, that Cooper only took a few dozen photos of the surface -- none at all over the Caribbean == that there was no way an astronaut looking out the window could accurately log latitude/longitude of anything he saw, and no way that Cooper could or would keep secret notes from the flight without NASA's knowledge. Otherwise, enjoy the show.

brtdog Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island. Why does Discovery make such horrible reality shows. Condense each season to 2 shows and cut out the crap and re-run scenes. All this info is already available on the internet. Didn't think it was possible but there IS a worse show than Oak Island.

intrepidami If this guy was so close to Gordon Cooper that they shared a man cave together, and upon his death he received this large bundle of documents from Gordon, why would Gordon leave the most vital parts out so you had to scavenge them? It doesn't add up. A more likely scenario is upon Gordons death, he rushed over and grabbed the documents that were lying around and that's why the best, most vital part is missing! Because that wasn't lying around their man cave for him to scarf up.I'll tell you what is legitimate treasure, the stuff he rifles through in Gordons garage! Those items in that garage are potentially worth millions! If his wife was smart she'd auction off the contents of that garage on EBAY! That would be quite a sum, I'm sure! I'll bet the US government might even want to throw in a $100,000,000 to keep that stuff away from the public.As far as all this data from 1963 that was probably the best then, but the Earth is now surrounded in space by 1000's of Satellites with really modern high powered cameras, so these maps, if even legit are comparable in quality to what they can see nowadays to you getting excited about having an Early Cell phone that came with a large box beneath it and cost $3 a minute to make a call on. And a little kid walks by holding a galaxy 8 and laughs at you.I'm was sure MODERN treasure hunters do use satellite imagery and I looked it up and Viola.. https://www.gislounge.com/using-landsat-imagery-find-shipwrecks/ What do you know, they did and do! So basically...this is all romanticized hooey!

patrickbatty Just like I mentioned in the title, Cooper's Treasure has everything viewers should enjoy in this type of adventure program.Darrell Miklos has a file of documents assembled by one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, Gordon Cooper.In 1963, Gordon Cooper flew "Faith 7" and orbited the earth 22 times and was in flight for over 34 hours.It was the longest one man flight in US space history.In his time in space beyond just moving the needle forward in the space race, by logging so many hours and conducting experiments, there was allegedly another more clandestine purpose.As discussed in Cooper's Treasure, Cooper took thousands of photographs of earth for the purpose of locating Soviet military installations and missile silos.In the Caribbean, Cooper noted a number of anomalies and kept notes of locations. He suspected these were ship wrecks.He spent years researching and documenting his findings, and prior to his death, shared his findings with Darrell Miklos and his father.Darrell has determined to continue the research and hopefully find the treasure.That's what this series is about.The anticipation, disappointments, and thrills of the hunt is in full force in this series.When you add the tension that Darrell has with his estranged father (who also has some of the charts) you have real drama.We don't know if they can put their differences aside and work together, but money talks, so I expect somehow it will be worked out.But I also expect there will be some real tense times ahead.Will they find treasure... who knows?Will we enjoy the hunt, along side them?Absolutely!
