Rich Mutschler Visiting Malta to Scout for Reality Show Locations
Rich Mutschler, the founder of Voyager International Inc. and the director of Galleons Lost, will be featured in a pilot episode of a new reality television series where dreams come true, The Island Trader. The crew led by the HBO director Tom Harvey was shooting in Charleston on October 11-15, 2010. In September, Rich traveled to Europe looking for locations in Malta and other European countries with rich treasure history.
The Island Trader is a reality series which is a combination in elements of Antique Road Show and Fantasy Island. In each episode, the host, Rich Mutschler, leads his group of art and antiquity collectors on a quest to acquire rare cultural and treasure related items from Europe to the Spice Islands of Indonesia.
Rich uses years of expertise in the ethnographic and treasure related fields to reveal the stories behind the history of selected artifacts as expedition participants wonder in awe over the allure and value of their acquisitions.
