Sadly, no. My father though did also invest in some treasure hunters who used to scour the ocean. At one point, they found some stuff in the Caribbean. My father told my sister and me to choose whatever we wanted. I opted for an NBA Jam arcade game in my room. Six months later, they finally aggregated their 'treasure' and it turned out to be a bunch of worthless artifacts. I made out with an arcade game in my room but I think my dad felt cheated. That was when I reminded him of TLC's advice, "Dad, stop chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to."
