WHO WANTS TO DIVE FOR TREASURE

I took these pix with my iPhone so the quality isn't that good, I'll get some high res pix soon and photoshop them to a back ground like this! I'm very excited to have been on the boat today, having found another stellar coin within 3 days got me thinking! "I'm going to get a lottery ticket, so I ended up buy $10 worth!!! haha anyway scott think we could get a grill on the boat? I already know I want BBQ Ribs for lunch tomorrow, and if you cant make it happen then I guess i'll have some of those epic Ritz peanut butter crackers!!! I could live on those!

For many others, and myself the Jupiter wreck holds a special place in our treasure hunting hearts.
It is a quintessential shipwreck discovery. Tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people have boated over, played near and swam over that treasure without knowing about it until one day when a lifeguard was at the right place at the right time.

An ordinary man finding a treasure by happenstance!
It gives one the feeling that if it can happen to him it can happen to me!
 

Scott, Jason and crew,

Congratulations on your findings!!!! Scott, Jason and I have spend many nights talking about how close they were to finding these gold coins……I am so happy for you guys. Finally all the hard work and studying the field work, debris trail, scattered pattern, research, and theories of what happen the day of the wreck is starting to pay off. The “San Miguel Arcangel” is in deed an amazing wreck with a fascinating story of a booty that got lost at sea 3 times (that we know of)

I sincerely wish you guys all the best and I hope this year you find the mother load you have been looking for…..

All the best,

Chagy……
 

Hi Chagy
Here is a link to a short video to get you motivated to come dive with us again.

You guys make it look easy!

I cut hours of film down to one minute forty eight seconds. And that took days of diving. But we thank you for the compliment. We will be posting a lot of film from now on. We should have the newest news channel 5 piece out in the next day or so.

Very cool! I like that Scott!
 

I know that everybody wants to dive for treasure , but .....sionce the currents in the strait of Florida are flowing from South to North , can anybody explain to me why the coins show up on Jupiter beach while they are supposed to come from a wreck to the North East of this location . The only way for these coins to show uo on the beach of Jupiter is from a wreck to the South- East of Jupiter beach . Now I don't care about the name of the wreck , I just want to point you in the right direction . In short , there is a wreck located to the South East of Jupiter beach . Most likely in a little deeper water . Check the maritime maps of the area and think about what may have happened in a storm . Where would the wreck be ? How deep were the approaches , and how high were the waves at that time of wrecking ? Use your brains and common sence to find the right answers . This is all I want to say about this socalled Jupiter wreck . Cornelius
 

Cornelius, the ship wrecked in December, so it was North winds pushing the ship towards shore. I am sure it hit bottom well before it hit shore. The current doesnt move the coins or really anything once it has hit bottom. A coin or bar will immediatly start sinking into the sand, and continue until it hit hard rock, or further if it hits a crack. A hurricane could move the ship before it was completly buried, 350 years ago, and that is what the exploratory diggings are trying to find out. A hurricane could have blown from any direction, depending on where the center was. A hurricane or hurricanes have obviously moved the coins and other heavy things around a lot. But the current and storms do move the sand, which has covered it all up.
 

Also the Gulf Stream is 5 to 10 miles offshore around Jupiter. It varies every day. There are currents called "eddies" that curl around and flow in the opposite direction near shore.
 

Don't know much - certainly no expert, but I do know that this wreck has been worked and researched by several smart, shipwreck savvy people. Some could say that a few have made the "Jupiter Wreck" their lifes work. Cornelious is one the guys I love to read in this forum and I have much respect for his knowledge and willingness to share with us that knowledge. That being said I have to believe that Scott, Captain Dom and the others that have sweated blood and spent fortunes pursuing their passion for this wreck have a decent handle as to this particular site. The artifacts and spectacular coins found over the past two weeks shows us that although the main pile is still just out of reach, significant finds are still being made by those that know this piece of ocean well. The best is yet to come! :icon_thumright:

P.S. I can speak as a former commercial fisherman and diver that the Gulf Stream does in fact at times come very close to the shore from Northern Broward to Jupiter. I have seen it so close it seemed like it was on the beach. The axis of the gulf stream wobbles east and west and yes there are eddies created all the time ( great fishing in these eddies sometimes ) . One of the most amazing sites is to be in a jet at 25,000 feet and actually see both sides of the stream.
 

The Gulf Stream comes close to shore here in Newport late in the summer, we even get tropical fish in waters that drop to 32 degrees in the winter, how's that for temperature swings?
