Very probable.I had brooched this thought earlier on,on this thread.Also,if he spent time with Mel Fisher,he may have heard the tale from Charles Christopher Johnson.
ECS- I am doing my best on this thread to not make fun of your spelling "skills", so I will try not to mention anything about your spelling "skills".
Is anyone reading this thread starting to see a pattern? I tell a story. People think I make it all up. Same people find reference to my stories in books, magazines, etc. Then they still continue to doubt everything I say. I am not a researcher. BCH and ECS are very good researchers. Too bad we can't seem to work together.
The story about the "famous treasure hunter" John Durham is quite relevant here. I told a story of plane crash diamonds. The trip I made to the east coast of Florida was around 1989 or so. The guy who showed us the plane crash diamond spot was John Durham. When we had arrived at his house earlier he told me to go look around in one of his back bedrooms. It was FULL of treasure, gold bars and coins, silver bars and coins and a whole lot more. This famous treasure hunter could not find his way back to the crash site. Ovid pointed it out on a map. John did not believe Ovid was right. Ovid was right. My unnamed on here friend ended up being John Durham's closest associate. He helped John get the best of his collection into two different museums. Before John died he passed all his secrets and secret places on to this friend of mine.
About two years ago this friend of mine and I made a trip together to the keys and stayed in Key West. I was shown many things along the way. I was told many things along the way. We also went by John Durham's old homestead where there is treasure buried. When we got there they were building a four lane highway right over the top of it. Another Florida treasure lost. This unnamed friend of mine is part of my team. He is a walking encyclopedia of Florida history and especially native american history.
This line of thought about whether Ovid could read the news is laughable. What you two are implying is a joke. I had Ovid in the passenger seat of my wife's T/A and was taking him to a drugstore to get a prescription filled. It was almost dark. On the spur of the moment I asked him to take out his pendulum and see if he got any readings as we drove down Highway 301. He knew NOTHING about where we were or the fact that we were driving by an old pirate camp. Never mind the fact that this was in 1987 which was a year or so before the article you quote. Maybe Ovid had ESPN. I know I have ESPN/2. ECS/BCH get over it. Ovid was the REAL DEAL. I am the REAL DEAL. There is so much more to this story than you can imagine. If I started telling it all ECS's head would spin like that poor little girl in the Exorcist.
Here are some things for you two to ponder.
The U-853 was Hitler's private submarine. It had 12 or more 88mm shells filled with treasure on board and I know the locations of where some of this treasure is buried.
Rocky Bluff was a pirate camp. There is very possibly a pile of silver right where I said it is. There are more locations at Rocky Bluff that I have not shared so don't tell anyone.
The pirate camp with the treasure chests is in Englewood Florida. It is right beside Howard's Restaraunt on state road 776. This is a secret location so don't tell anyone.
Ovid stood on the bow of one of Mel Fisher's boats and put them over two spots. One was a pile of silver near Ft. Pierce and the other was a pile of gold from the Atocha. I have known this for 25 years and it was recently reconfirmed by another party. They may not want to publicly admit it but as far as I am concerned it is true. That's one of the reasons I am willing to put this on TN.
I could go on and on about many more treasures but you get the picture. You can try to make fun of me if you want to. Heck, I like to make fun of me. I have the best sense of humor of anyone that I know. But when it comes to mytreasurestory.com I am very,very, serious.
ECS/BCH-Keep digging. I like watching you get deeper and deeper. When you are so far down that you can't get out, I will throw you a rope. Just be careful with what you do with it.
For years I have held back from going totally public with all of this. I no longer care. I am going to let it all hang out. Life is short. I looked in the mirror this morning and there was an old dude looking back at me. Dang, I feel like I'm about 25. Time flies when you have bills to pay.
