20 year anniv. of the Atocha find.

[diggummup]

It's been 20 years since Mel fisher and his group found the Atocha shipwreck site.As of today the site is still yielding great finds.There was a story on the local news about it telling how they're still hunting the site and still finding treasures.I couldn't find much,but here's a link to what I could find. ;www.melfisher.org/20YearsLater/

Sounds like me,I worked last fridayfrom 4 pm till 3 am,in Miami.Got up sat. morn.at 7:30 to go to work till 7 pm.Sunday,tried to do a little detecting out at an old campsite near Holey Land in the everglades,airboat blew up.Well the engine did anyway.Then tried to go by land off of U.S.27,they got it closed off where the pavement ends so I was SOL,Ended up stopping at a park in palm beach county on the way home,found 7 cents and the usual pull tabs.I'm still researching a little thing out in the Glades i'm looking for.One day maybe........Take it easy and H.H.-diggummup
