Yeah Bart, you need another person BECAUSE when you go it alone in a boat bad things happen.

Imagine the piles of treasure that were brought ashore here from the capitana of the 1733 fleet !! I have the manifest from that ship, and most of what was listed would have been stored here until shipment back to havana. There are at least 2 anomalies off shore here too. When I say offshore I mean only 100 yards from the beach. I may have to work this myself....dont know who I can trust to show the spot to and help me.
...but will there be Bezoar Stones?
We are missing rook....hope he didnt go down with the old ship ??
I got a special new spot.....its been 15 years of tracking back stories and legends. At least 5 different stories in the same location within a half mile stretch of shoreline. It all started in 87 when my neighbor was building a sea wall.....they dug up many 8 reale cobbs from 1733 fleet. Over the years I've done some scouting in the general area, and one major discovery was a fresh water spring on one of the properties. This is a salvage camp for the fleet that is undocumented or never explored. This is the type of spot where coins are found fused together in large clumps. My neighbor is saying I should get down there while winds are still off shore. Trying to find a partner for this one as it's a 30 mile boat ride one way. Art McKee also made a gold portrait coin find here in the 50s. Another old time found onion bottles and a clump 0f 50 + cobbs in a clump lying in plain sight on the rocks here....no metal detector...only eyeballs. This is the salvage camp for the capitana and el infante. This one will be a big one for me someday soon.....just got to get on the trail of cobbs. Hopefully I can mount an assault on this treasure spot !!

Well maybe we should have spent the extra couple bucks and got one with a warranty
Roger,
Thanks for sharing the pictures with the crew. Heh the guy with the biggest wallet doesn't have any more fun than the bottom feeders and that pretty much applies to any hobby or pastime. Been there and done that with my collecting interests also I put a reasonable limit on what I can spend and still have a great time.
