OK, I'll bite. What's the catch? I live close enough to Galveston to check it out if it's worth it. Without giving away all your secrets, what's the treasure? Why don't you get it yourself? Why do you only want 25%? Did you know that those beaches are constantly maintained, with sand being dumped on them to keep them maintained?

I live in Zaragoza, Spain and do not know when I will visit the United States. 25% because my search costs are lower. There is no catch. I'm sending you a photo of Google Earth with the exact location, you are asked to check it out. I risk more when you find it.

OK, but just so you know, Galveston Island is a very popular tourist spot, and in about a month it is going to be completely covered by drunken college students on Spring Break.

So any treasure?

No, I am too drunk to search and all the drunken students keep getting in my way.

Given the history of the area there may well be treasure there. But I see two problems. First, the beaches are state property so it would be illegal to put the snag to it. Second, those beaches are regularly maintained by the state putting sand on them. What was once Galveston beach front when the treasure was buried could be under water now, or even under parking lot depending on which way the beaches have moved. And who know how deep down it might be buried. I think it would take some very serious research to find out where it could be, and there is a heck of a lot of beach to investigate.

There were rumors of a ship wreck in the channel that had silver bars on it. And then there is Singer's Treasure buried there during the Civil War. But yeah state Beaches are a no no, also are the National Sea Shore. I think the only place you can detect is the county park by Bob Hall Pier.
