Profit Motive
I've changed the sentence reading
 * "But the aim of treasure hunting is profit, not the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation, and analysis of material remains and environmental data."

to
 * "Treasure hunting activity, however, is primarily motivated by potential for profit."

as the former seems to be NPOV in presuming that genuine scientific interest and profit-seeking activity are mutually exclusive (evidenced in the "...not..." phrase), and thereby makes negative implications regarding the character of the treasure-hunters who also claim to pursue legitimate research. 208.63.153.135 16:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Mergeto removed
I have removed the mergeto tag for this article and Marine salvage. Consensus appears to be not to merge them. Georgewilliamherbert 20:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
