The million dollar gold the Pogs get from Eldorado in Outer Banks Season 3 is significantly less than what the Royal Merchant’s treasure and the Cross of Santo Domingo were rumored to be worth.. According to Outer Banks In the first season, the Royal Merchant shipwreck was said to contain approximately $400 million in gold bullion, and the Cross of Santo Domingo in the second season is estimated to be worth approximately $500 million.

The Pogs paid too much money to give the land back to J.J.

When he applied to buy JJ’s land, he immediately ignored Pope’s offer to only increase the price in $1 increments.
