Nuestra senora de la concepcion

A few years ago. I received a non-ferrous reading about the size of a quarter of a football field and went down and uncovered a silver bar. Found out it was a National Park and was told that it would be hard to get a permit. I've been saving the money to give it a try, but now I'm going to wait until a new President is in power.I hear the current one is anti-American.

How come a seasoned researcher mount a search in a National park? It seems like a waste of money :D

the national park hes talking about is not in the states but foreign country---still very tough but with a change of power sometimes things and policy "changes" esp. in south america having the "right" freinds is the key---welcome to the 3rd world me amegio.
 

Voldbjerg,
It wasn't a National Park when I first started this search and it didn't happen overnight. It took me 17 years of research and divng to locate the first silver bar.
I would also like to point out,that the Spanish called this Island Cano and then changed it's name to Ilsa de La Plata.
Is it Drakes Silver ? I don't know, from my research., I think it is, but that's just my opinion.
 

about when did they change the name and who was "behind" the changing of it ? it could lead to important information.
 

Ivan,
They changed the name when they claimed that Drake dumped his silver there. That was in 1579.
 

Well if old man researched and dove for it for 17 years before he found it, and it was not a National Park when he first started diving the site, then with that much time and money invested, I believe the old man.
