I agree with Burt on the site is very difficult to work. I also agree that it may not be of any great value. Monetary value. But this site is a wealth of historic value. We have found some artifacts encrusted with dead coral over five feet deep. There are very little ballast stones visible. We have found wood timbers very deep. This wreck obviously was splintered on contact with this very rocky coast. Making early salvage attempts very difficult. I still believe the bulk of the wreck lies under the two hundred and fifty years of coral encrustation.
The detectors ring just about every where you pass them. Our handheld mag goes nuts befor you even get near the wreck.
The scattering of the coins on the surface of the dead coral could be an indication of what lies deeper?
All my divers request every day to work that site because every day we find something very exciting. And we know years could pass before we ever reach the bottom of this site.
With coins like these, somewhat buried shallow in the rock sure make one want to dig deeper.
