I would be more impressed if he went to the moon and brought back the launch pad for the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module.)
Agreed. Those Stage One boosters can't be in great shape after falling 40 miles and then being in salt water for 40+ years. And ... so what if he does find them?
The first thought that I had Jay.

Obviously a billionaire and his money are soon parted.
These are Rocketdyne engines and were built to last forever!
