I believe that the "Dark Side" he was referring to was AquaPulse vs Garrett.

Jason​ -- Nice work, amigo.

Well,done Rope!

The clue was in the quote!

Glad someone got it

Hello gents! Been a while since I posted in this thread. I had heard the boys found a coin (Jason's pic) first day out this year or first day doing trial runs. Something like that. Been checking the Jupiter beach cam almost everyday but haven't seen the boat much.

I'm hoping to hear some positive news soon from either Scott or Jason. If these guys make good they will make this guys dreams come true. I just need a cheap motel nearby (can I buy a pistol while I'm down visiting Americalandofguns? Ahhh, protection, of course lol) and I'll eat everyday at the Shipwreck Bar and Grille | Jupiter, FL |Fun Atmosphere and Great Food! <--- Nice updates under the Captain's Log link here as well!)

SCOTT - TAKE MY MONEY!

Great video by Sea Hunter. Jason & Scott, thank you for sharing. Dell

 

[CanadianTrout]

OMG! Now that's a cool vid! It's like I could see myself in that vid on the Seahunter! (cough*cough)

 

[CanadianTrout]

Morning gents! I see the Seahunter out on it's spot this morning. GOOD LUCK!

 

[T0nka]

Awesome video, I'm new to this whole thing and videos like that are great!

 

[Joeyboots]

Is the SeaHunter working a wreck or taking out divers? Let me know I might be able to go down south later this year.

 

[BVI Hunter]

What was the total bounty found that day?

Great vid!

Solid Gold!

I went down to Jupiter over the 4th of July holiday for a family reunion and we had the pleasure of visiting the Shipwreck Bar and Grill. The food was very reasonably priced, absolutely delicious and the service was awesome! If you're in the area, you have to go.

The best part was the warm reception we received from both Scott and Jason. I had not met or corresponded with either before this visit. But, when I walked up to Scott and introduced myself to him, and explained that I was a Treasurenet member and a fellow shipwreck diver, his face lit up and we had a great conversation. He made me feel like I was family. I met Jason after dinner in their gift shop and he was equally cordial, handing us the untreated coin to inspect that he had just recovered that same day, and answering a LOT of questions from our group. I'm sure we took up too much of their time but we couldn't help ourselves. :-)

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is solid gold here on Treasurenet, outside of the kind we all seek underwater.

Pocket Watch Update: Remember the really small pocket watch we found on June 20th, 2010? Well, it made the long trip to Tallahassee and was returned as "Modern" so we put it in fresh water and it sat for a few years. I recently got around to cleaning it up, and while it didn't turn out to be particularly special I thought you guys might enjoy a look.

The Watch as it was found:



In a simple Electrolytic Reduction Tank:




And here it is all cleaned up, after less than 50 years under the sands much of the gold leafing, enamel and even some of the silver plating was removed by the elements.


Found the makers mark under the watch face, and identified as Baumgartner, a Swiss watch maker:



Watch is a late 1960's Baumgartner Model 866 Pocket Watch, it originally looked something like this before spending half a century in the shifting sands:


Hope you Enjoy!

Jason

Thanks for the kind words GreenHiker, it was nice meeting you and your family as well. We always enjoy meeting and talking to fellow TNET'ers and telling treasure tales. :-) Hope to see you guys down this way again sometime! Give us a heads up and we will see about getting you out on the boat. Canadian Trout wants to go too, weather and crew permitting we'd love to have you.

 

[T0nka]

SeaHunter,

Don't know if you still ever are looking for a hand on any of your dives. I'm 28, I live locally, know my way around a boat, not much SCUBA experience but hooka and free diving I've done plenty. I could definitely give you a hand on deck, I would love to gain some experience at this. Let me know at your leisure.

Thanks,

 

[Joeyboots]

Great Job ScubaFinder!

You did everything, recovery, stabilization, cleaning, identification. You are quite the archeologist. And thanks for posting the imagery. It's so interesting.

This entire thread simply drips with pure gold. Whether the real thing or posts or peoples attitudes or general camaraderie. Well done lads!



And yes, Jason. CanadianTrout does want to go. Freaking bad! he just needs to know ASAP so he can request time off work before his boss puts out the work schedule

 

[ScubaFinder]

Joey, don't forget SeaHunter too. Without his efforts to become a part of this shipwreck project, none of the things I do would be possible.

Canadian Trout, you can ask off anytime, but whether we get out and dive while you are here will be more up to the weather, seas and restaurant. There are never guarantees in this biz. The boat could break, the restaurant could require our attention, could be stormy or rough seas or a host of other issues. You are welcome anytime it is convenient for you, and we will do our best to get you out there during your visit. PM SeaHunter with your number so you guys can coordinate.

Jason

 

[CanadianTrout]

Thanks Jason. I'm on it, I'll send Scott my info. Seems a little risky as I'm not just driving down the coast for an hour to meet you or something LOL I'm flying from Canada, need a motel etc etc.

I understand variables, the boat breaks, the restaurant breaks, are all out of our control.

So in your expert opinion Scott (or anyone else who knows) what would you guess would be the time period of the highest chance to get out on the water, weather permitting? When are the seas the calmest in that area? Aug? Sept? Oct? (probably not eh?)
