1 year ago, Mr. Chaggy met with me in a MSN chat.During our conversation I didn't like what he said things about him and his friends in Puerto Rico
(" I lived in Puerto Rico for 25 years and I know some of the best THtrs in the island")
and his project that he told me in that time about the salvage of some 'X' shipwreck. He told that shipwreck has lots a gold, silver and more, eventually he became rich when find that gold and he would buy a exotic car (if I remember he said "Ferrari"). Anyway, whatever he does,I don't really care.I wished him the best venture. My point in my post here is the way he express about "Treasure hunting in Mona Island and the laws ". I took this as a " no respect" to my thread here when he wrote a couple words.
Also in that conversation I remember to ask him " what did you find in all the time that you has been in this hobby"? he told me "some cannon ball underwater in Isla verde" . Isla verde is an area in SJ where there is many tourist. When he told me that I remember I have a friend in mine which he saw those cannon ball in the same place in the 60's but Chaggy attributes him "the Credit". I ask again "What else did you find detecting"? He said nothing else.
Everybody knows to be considerated a "real salvage" or a "real discovery" you have to follow many step as did Mel Fisher, Bob Marx (research,permission, detect, locate, remove and trade) and others in order to receive the credit for that salvage and honor.If he has been involved in some salvage, metal detecting on the beach or drinking in south Miami beach,is irrelevant.
When you really are a good guy detecting and you have experience finding and trade whatever you find, then you're ready to advice. When you can say "I paid part of my bills detecting in the beach" (as I lived it) then you' re ready to advice about this hobby, but don't come to this forum with 'BS" trying to impress the people,...give me a break!! I'd found many currency for many years, I know the places in Mona that 'match' with many books, writers and legend that talk about hidden gold but I stay in silence, I don't say anything, I don't try to impress anybody here.
At the end of our conversation in the MSN, I would stop to chat with him because the lots a "BS" he was telling me.If Mr. Chaggy found gold since the last time I met in the chat,...God bless him.
Talking about My friend,...he is Ramon Rodriguez, Mechanical engineer for 30 year in the Telephone co.
Ramos was hired by a wealthy family to find a chest full of Spanish gold and he found it inside the concrete stair.
I detected with him many time in Isla verde beach,and Ocean Park beach.He was a good man, good husband and god friend, however I never talk here in this forum about my experience and adventure that I lived with him detecting in Puerto Rico,..why? I don't like impress people.
I don't like to insult anybody in this forum, I don't like to be hard with anybody,I know some guys likes to post thread here to argue, but not me. I felt very uncomfortable and disappointed for the way that Mr. Chaggy wrote saying:
"I just want to advise with the right information"
What does he means with the "RIGHT INFORMATION"?, the everything that I posted heres is not true o false?
Again Chaggy,.........."Give me a break"
Sincerely
Amona
