The question in no way surprises Quentin. There was a certain romance to the hunt and the thought of making so much money in one go appealed to many people. Of course, the fact that most hunts ended in a bust and that Quentin tended to donate the bulk of whatever he did find to the British Museum were not facts known to Noah.

"I will consider it. Perhaps after I think you are stable and established enough to be self-sufficient. Not every hunt ends with finding a treasure after all. You could very well take time away from your work and have nothing to show for it. Especially since I doubt I will find a treasure so close to home again any time soon." His next expedition could, probably would, be halfway around the world.
