I'm wondering what you guys find after a major storm like Matthew ?? Here in Mass We find a LOT of Colonial items and jewelry washed up. Sometimes We find British Gold Guineas washed up off of Lovells Island, Winthrop, Revere, Boston from a wreck called the Magnifique which sank in 1763 due to shore Pirates switching the Nautical Guide Lights thus causing it to run aground. You know the 3 R's. Red, Right, Return. The Pirates would switch them so it became the Green Lights were on the Right or StarBoard side and the Red lights were on the Left or Port side. The Magnifique ran ground after falling for the Pirates tricks.
The Magnifique was carrying over 2 Million in Gold coin and bullion at that time. Today it's worth Hundreds of Millions but because of the State & Government greed it still sits there. SAD for sure. There are 3 other known treasures here but We won't go after them due t their Greed. SAD.!!! Anyways, what say ye Florida guys ?? Fill us in ?? We await. PEACE:RONB
