Geologist, historian and consultant Ben Evans speaks with reporters aboard the Odyssey Explorer in North Charleston, S.C., on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. The Explorer leaves this week on an expedition to recover the remaining gold from the wreck of the S.S. Central America off the North Carolina coast. It's not clear just how much gold might still be in the wreck of the ship which sank during an 1857 hurricane. An expedition a quarter-century ago recovered gold bars and coins worth an estimated $50 million at that time. Evans was part of the initial expedition and is the only one from that crew returning to the wreck. (AP Photo/Bruce Smith)
