good work!
thats a quite a lot of coin for a "old news" ship
 

Thanks Dread! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Ernie Richards, at the fun show when introducing My wife and
author of "Treasure Diving with Captain Dom" described the
Jupiter Shipwreck being a vessel that appeared to be carrying
a group of "unique" cob coin collectors.... :wav:
Here is another wave.... :wav:
from the over the hill.... old news boys....
 

What was the total recovered quantity (in pesos or in individual denominations if it is not too much trouble)? What pile on the table is the state's?

Nice spread! :notworthy:

These photos are after the state was allowed
to select the truly "one of a kind".... so as to "protect the public interest"
Amongst the sample the coins found was a really nice 8 Reale Colombian specimen
(the photo of this coin shows up in "Seahunter's Thread") as should the number of coins
they actually recovered, overall.

Seahunter has put over 500 coins on the deck over the past couple of seasons he and
his crew has been able to work. This division count to our company was about
385 counting a small number of artifacts and un related finds (like a 19th century nickel)
been able to work.

There were some "nice" coins" in the recovery overall and Seahunter did a good job
cleaning them :occasion14:

Its great to have a first person fellow major stockholder that actually takes a "first person"
interest in Jupiter Wreck and doesn't just rely on "others" to make it happen.
Scot has been the man and proven he is an accomplished 21st century undersea explorer
and coin finder.

Between the two of us - with our own crews, some good luck and help from you all out there
and us finally expanding our "Admiralty Arrest area" a whole new volume about the
Jupiter Wreck site may soon be written!
