It's the older brother, Rick, who is obsessed, and the other one, Marty, who has the money to buy the island and finance everything. I watch the show to see how far they'll go before quitting. Sure, they MIGHT find some treasure, but they never seemed to consider that if there was a treasure once long ago, that there's a good chance it was later removed. Who would bury treasure of any size and then leave it? Hordes have been found around the world, but these never involved such complex constructions with booby traps, etc.

Meanwhile, the island gets torn apart and we all get another reality show.
