Who says there are no genuine treasure maps?

Hmmmm, what makes this a treasure map.....maybe the fact that it is a map that lists a treasure location on it? Call me crazy, but those are the only requirements I know of for a treasure map, not sure what publishing dates or internet sharing has to do with anything.
Please do some research on Sir William Phipps and the treasure galleon that he salvaged at a location on that map. It was also salvaged a second time about 40 years ago. I believe that Jack Haskins provided the Research while on that expedition with Webber and that Haskins actually found the first Treasure that was recovered during that Expedition.I must have missed the "treasure location" Can you point out the "fact" that this map shows a treasure location? While you are at it you can also verify that the treasure exists. No treasure = no "fact"
chlsbrns:
I posted that old map because I think it is cool.
Would you like me to refund what I charged you to view it?
Jack Haskins correctly figured out where the rest of the Concepcion was located. That was the key. He paddled off on his own and was the first person to see the wreck since Sir William Phips had done so, some three centuries before.
He told me the story while we were sitting on Frogfoot Weller's back porch.
Good luck to all,
