Is this where John S. Potter got all his information for The Treasure Divers Guide?
 

It is the bases of most researchers work on Spanish ships lost, between 1504 1650, with a few exceptions, Dr Gene Lyons used these volumes, but also found more detailed information on several shipwrecks while studying in Seville. There are some other researches that I believe have spent time in Seville and may have discovered information only known to them, at that time people walked of with a lot of information from a lot of archives, Rob Marx for example had advice from Gene Lyons but he also visited the archive and I was told he had a 3 foot hight pile of original documents, that included the Information on the Santa De Aton Brazil , that is way no one can find a lot of information on Chaunu ships, Chaunu also produce another volume that was not published. The work is incredible and there are other books on information from the archies that describe in details routes and even hurricanes from the period, although the plate period ended around 1790, so the volume do not include those years, Haskins, Webber, Lyons, Marx, Cowan, Kopp and Bonifacio’s research cover Chaunu plus 1790 and beyond in terms of treasure shipwreck, I fell these along with Potter were the people that not only had the most accurate information on ships wreck but a lot of them discovered the location of many shipwrecks , Kopp in particular found hundreds of shipwreck that he and Marx, never had the time to salvage, or were banned from especially those located in the Bahamas. The advantage buying Black Ducks books over the ones on ebay is that you would get the list and page numbers and areas of all the shipwrecks, notice he says these are the books he used, meaning he knew how to use them, and if Black Duck is who I think he is, he knows how to use them.

There are still an immense amount of untapped sources of information.
For example: The Welsers and the Fuggers. Bankers so rich that they financed the kings.
The Welsers governed Venezuela from 1529 to 1546. How much gold did they ship to Europe during this time?
Where did the 4.5 tons of gold artifacts collected by Federmann end up?
Fontaneda talks about ships with lots of gold. Where did this gold come from? Maybe from the gold mines discovered by Federmann? Federmann did not mine any gold. He only robbed the gold from the natives while searching for the source of the gold they had.

They are a rich people that work with gold so that they can trade and sell it. The Caquetios bathe Federmann in gold .
