The thing is, is that I've never heard it was disputed to be descended from him. I've actually met others who are also descended from him.

Why don't we see what Mariner has to say...

I wish you luck on your expedition to find Drake's lost treasure. I have searched myself several times (and others before and after me) in the proposed area but the problem is that if there is any treasure remaining after 443 years, it has sunk deep in the wet, humid ground there beyond the reach of most standard metal detectors. And that is assuming you have the right place along the camino real (for example, there is much debate about the exact point of "Rio Campo") and that they actually left any treasure. Remember, Drake's men carried off almost all the gold originally, then the Spanish returned and uncovered the vast majority of the buried silver, and then a few of Drake's men returned 2 weeks after that and found the remnants. And on top of that, various treasure hunters have been back to the area dozens of times over the last 50 years searching like you. There's even a book published in the 1990s about the treasure. But I would love to see someone finally find something from this famous mule train robbery! It would be one of the greatest finds ever!

Here's a great website that details Drake's 1573 mule train robebry in Panama in case anyone is interested: http://www.indrakeswake.co.uk/Society/Research/treasure.htm

You must be careful, though. Beware of landowners (always get permission to search a property), officials from INAC who can (arbitrarily) arrest you and/or seize your equipment, and petty crime is not unheard of in this area.

Le deseo suerte en su expedición para encontrar el tesoro perdido de Drake. He buscado a mí mismo varias veces (y otros antes y despues que yo) en la zona propuesta, pero el problema es que si hay algún tesoro que queda después de 443 años, se ha hundido profundamente en el suelo mojado, húmedo no más allá del alcance de la mayoría de los detectores de metales normales . Y eso es suponiendo que tiene el lugar correcto a lo largo del camino real (por ejemplo, existe un gran debate sobre el punto exacto de "Río Campo") y que en realidad dejó ningún tesoro. Recuerde, los hombres de Drake se llevaron casi todo el oro originalmente, a continuación, el español volvió y descubrió que la gran mayoría de la plata enterrada, y luego unos pocos de los hombres de Drake devuelto 2 semanas después de eso y encontró los restos. Y encima de eso, varios cazadores de tesoros han sido de nuevo a la zona de las docenas de veces en los últimos 50 años buscando como usted. Incluso hay un libro publicado sobre el tesoro. Pero me gustaría ver a alguien finalmente encontró algo de este famoso robo del tren de la mula! Sería uno de los más grandes hallazgos de la historia!

Aquí hay un gran sitio web que detalla 1573 mula tren robebry de Drake en Panamá, en caso de que alguien está interesado: http://www.indrakeswake.co.uk/Society/Research/treasure.htm


Usted debe tener cuidado, sin embargo. Cuidado con los propietarios (siempre obtener el permiso para buscar una propiedad), funcionarios del INAC que puede (arbitrariamente) arrestarlo y / o apoderarse de su equipo, y hay ladrones en este area. Buena suerte!

My god that website is a one stop shop about drake I love it.

Yeah I think it would be the find of the century if the coffin was discovered. Who knows maybe an amateur treasure hunter from Australia, might get lucky

With modern day sonar. Might be the way to go. Can do it small scale with a boat and a small dingy. Map an entire bay area in a day. Penetrate deep into the sand

Nice find, Old Bookaroo. I have a copy of this book in my library. I think there might be some left-over silver bars scattered about at the site of the mule train robbery, however, the area is vast and the bars should be quite deep after 444 years.

Personally, if I were looking for Drake's treasure, I'd be interested in the silver that was jettisoned because the weight was about to scuttle his vessel. "Fit to sink with gold," said John Silver, of Flint's ship the Walrus.

Silver, not gold, however, almost brought the Golden Hind to grief.

This is probably not the best way to go after it:

45 tons of silver? Hmmm.....

That forty five tons is on Angel Island in San Francisco. Good Luck on getting permission. Better to go to the jungle and fight the poison snakes.
