Underwater leases

[Denniss]

I just saw two nice charts with leases from north of canaveral to jupiter. I went to the St Lucie County museum in Fort Pierce and they had a room with 1715 artifacts on loan from the state. I wish they had chart replicas for sale in the gift shop.On an unrelated note, it showed the naval amphibious training base just south of Fort Pierce inlet. It occupied the entre north end of the island. The UDT training was north of the inlet. I had no idea that the military had such a huge presence during WWII.

It's the strangest thing - whenever I go out on the boat, my Wedding ring falls off into the water. So, i get my gear and detector and in the water I go. I really don't care if any official tries to question me. No one, can stop me from retrieving my ring...............

So tired of Ridiculous laws - - - The only way to beat the corrupt, is to learn how to play the game.

Until they search your boat and find you with stolen articles. How is it corrupt to hold shipwreck salvage rights?

Shipwreck salvage rights are a joke. What gives one company the right to have exclusivity of miles and miles of seafloor bottom? You find a wreck, its yours, you leave it, you leave the door open for somebody else to work it. Just like the old days of wreckers. The entire lease program is a joke, how often do you actually get state or federal approval? I understand leasing the area of the wreck but come on, not the entire seafloor bed! Look at what our government (local all the way to the federal level) has done with the money, the opportunity and the recovered artifacts themselves. Tallahassee is the perfect example, lets open up the archives and see what they have. Another example, Cape Canaveral National Seashore, the fact that there is so much history on that coast and it cant be worked is a crime against the people of this country. Until we get government bureaucracy out of the way, whats wrong with being a pirate? The founding fathers of this country were exactly that!

They are not hired. It's their job to stop people from looting. Almost all of the beach from the power plant in ft pierce to bonsteel park in Sebastian are leased to Queens Jewels 1715, Brent Brisben is who you would contact. The information is on his website.

Police officers know who is supposed to be on the leases. Also, it's pretty easy to spot someone metal detecting from a boat. Really easy. They usually do safety stops and check for wildlife violations. However, they will arrest on site people illegally salvaging in a leased area, or any area for that matter without the proper paperwork.

It's easy to become an investor on one of the boats already working, but you can put your own operation together as well. It's hardwork because most treasure is found using propwash deflectors not just blindly roaming reefs. It seems easy, but it's not at all. In fact it's very dangerous and people can die.

Happy hunting.

Yes i realize, he was a nice officer and just told me to leave but how far I had to leave is what I was wondering about. I am located In between the west palm beach inlet and boca raton inlet.
