Watch this space?

[SADS 669]

I am In Nassau at the moment and went out for breakfast, during conversation was informed by the waitress " oh my mum found a big brass bell snorkeling once" I have it at home.......

So she has my email address and has promised a photo and a location where it was found so " watch this space"........

Sometimes the best leads come from the most unexpected places.

I hope she follows through and wish you the best of luck.

No worries. Good things come to the persistent. Just keep eating breakfast there. She'll get you the info eventually.

 

[Jason in Enid]

Awesome! Hope it leads to some great treasures.

Huge tip on a 5$ breakfast.....

I've done that a few times before , but it is more to do with seeing her later, than seeing her brass bell !! LOL

Gotta drive right past the restaurant this morning, shall I call in and say hi?

Maybe I should grab a cuppa and leave another enormous tip ha ha......

 

[BVI Hunter]

I'll buy the coffee and you get the tip.........

 

[diggummup]

Checking in.

Well, I have located the Bell, yippee........its in her attic and she promised to photograph it this coming weekend " and also find the location it was found in..watch this space " WTS......

Kevin... Good luck on this possible treasure venture! If you get the info needed and find a Treasure Ship wreck, can you just leave a small Flag on the bottom that says "I found this" until the Bahamas changes their Laws for salvage of shipwrecks??!!

Sadly Frank, that is exactly what I would do except of course to video the find just to demonstrate the absurdity of an honest individual not able to recover anything for the public to view and if considerable in value for the government to use.

As soon as the location was "known" everything would evaporate, sigh.....WTS

 

[SADS 669]

BVI,

shouldn't you be posting photos and news of your finds instead of blagging free coffee from me.....and then getting me to leave the tip

I understand how you and many other treasure hunters feel when you make a find and cannot share it with the world and possibly get compensated for your' discovery. One can only hope that some day, you might be able to upgrade those Lead diving weights for Gold or Silver ones!

Yeh Frank, I would have to be careful the lead coloured paint doesn't chip off said weights though while I am waiting.......just kidding!

Hopefully the bell will have the vessel's name on it. That will go a long way in determining date, history, cargo, etc., if at all. Awesome follow through!
