Lost U-Boats of WWII

Okay we know there's tons of boats all over the ocean...still searching for the 5, 7, 11 (pick a number) of "Modified UBoats containing blah blah blah...yawn...more of this???!??? This is the best content you got besides digging on Oak Island...Geez.. You can watch an entire episode in about 7-10 mins MAX!! The story is so slow going. There just isn't enough of a reveal to slog through watching them worried about ocean tides and adding drama that NOBODY cares about. Show us more in each episode or just make it an 2-night 2 hour History Channel Special. History Channel AGAIN has a potential story but they make each episode just not worth the time. I'd rather just read about the discoveries online than watch anymore of this...

History Channel continues to produce show with no purpose and spends money and time to see nothing productive at all except to waste time.

Very sad. At least the Hitler search some premise in discovering nothing other than looking at wild rumors. But these types of shows makes the lead characters look stupid and dumb going nowhere. Although I guess they are being funded to "investigate" the world and getting paid for travel under the premise that they are trying find answers for essentially some things that never happened. They must be there to try to appeal conspiracy theories and those who are looking to follow something.

I guess Darrell Miklos got tired of looking for "Cooper's Treasure," his previous show on the History Channel. He's moved on from lost Spanish treasure galleons seen from outer space, to "lost" Nazi U-boats, supposedly refitted to haul stolen European wealth to South America.

Seeing that his previous series was pretty much a bust, it makes one wonder what possessed the execs at History Channel to fund another of his pipe dreams?

A lot of this is the same sort of stuff you saw in "Cooper's Treasure." Guys riding around in a boat dragging a magnetometer. Guys scuba diving, sweeping the sea floor with handheld metal detectors. Guys not being able to do anything due to weather conditions.

Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Nothing to see here, that you haven't seen before.

These guys are pretty clueless when it comes to salvage diving.

No retrieval/find bags on their dives? No system for floating finds for others to pick up? Instead - find a single item and rush to the surface and back to the boat. How many hours did they waste diving down their guide lines only to rush back with a single item? Total Amateur Hour.

Artificial deadline. These guys could be diving nearly year round outside hurricane season. So, of course, they don't start diving until just before hurricane season...

No sidescan sonar to zero in on targets? Total low budget operation.

Oh, and by all means, pull unknown, unexploded ordinance out from reef systems. That's a career limiting move. All it takes is one unstable shell and you get instant chum.

This is a mildly interesting story, and I can see the plausibility of their theories, however, there is a very real flaw in their approach that makes it less credible in my eyes. Repeatedly, they are finding and casually handling, what they believe to be munitions from WWII. In reality, this would be an incredibly DANGEROUS thing for them to do!

Any such unexploded ordinance, submerged for 70-plus years, would be highly unstable and unpredictable. It might be totally inert and safe to handle... it might explode in your hand with the slightest jar! You simply can't know, which is one of many reasons why diving the wreck sites of military ships is often controlled or discouraged.

That they repeatedly do so, without any comment on the potential hazard, leads me to wonder if they are simply uninformed, reckless, or well aware that what they are handling is not real?
