RGecy,
The picture title is "Locket". Guessing that's what it is. Be interesting to see it once it's cleaned up.

Nice finds. Always good to find gold. Too cool! Enjoy the weather while it lasts!

Nice finds, especially the 2 escudo. Would like to see closeups on all the coins posted over in the Spanish cobs forum if you get time Greg. We always need something to analyze over there.

Ahh great news. Hope you find more down there.  |

Greg, what is the encrusted object that kind of looks like a brooch or pendant?
Robert
I called it a Locket but not sure if that is the correct name of the artifact. It looks simular to an artifact that Harold Holden had found on the Douglas Beach site many years ago. It has glass on both sides and i belive it held a portrait or ashes inside... Looks to be Gold Guilted and has a link at the top where a chain connected to it. I will post a picture when it gets cleaned up by the conservation lab. All artifacts and coins were found in less than 10' of water. |

I was at ambersands beach this weekend with the family and couldn't help to wonder if the boat working the cabin wreck only several hundred yards away found anything. Visibility up here was spectacular, kids were snorkeling chasing around nurse sharks. I'm sure it had to be a great day to be a treasure hunter. |

From the news link "Gold Hound Capt. Greg Bounds said a new sophisticated magnetometer helped uncover the find."
Can I query as to what equipment was used?
I can see that Aquascan's Aquapulse AQ1B was used.

Fantastic finds! I'll trade you a couple of dives on the WHYDAH for the same with you. BTW, the pirates on the WHYDAH probably pillaged coins from the Spanish salvage camp so we most likely have 1715 fleet coins also. If you would like to trade that nice warm water for the 58 degree variety on Cape Cod, let me know.
Keep up the good work.

Great finds and that was my question as well.
Who owns what when you find things like this? I know there are maritime salvage laws and I know Mel Fisher spent a lot of time and money keeping what he found and it was WAY out there.
I also know that when they found the HUGE amount of gold coins from Spanish ship between England and France, they quickly took them out of the country so the governments would have a tough time finding and getting them but in the end, I think they had to give them back.
So do you have to wait to celebrate?

Ok , Ok, so I am jealous my friend, now go get the mother lode, and I hope that you do that quickly, but only if you post them in here. I have already looked at those beautiful coins enough to physically recreate them in my imagination.

Apolla, can anyone give the details of the find? Not location, but the narrative of diving down, using the detector (or were they in plain view as Mel saw on the Nieves), reaction once they saw the coins, etc...
Congrats, Greg and crew. Awesome job.

GOHO, you are living the dream. I bet you got a good looking girl friend and
if you don't you will with all that treasure. Congratulations.
That looks like the life.

I see a pretty old Santa Fe De Bogota 2E in the video, and a lot of them are Charles II 2E from SFDB around 1700-1710. I saw one that was either a Lima or Cuzco 2E with pillars. That is probably the 1698 dated one.
One of the things mentioned in the Florida Gold Coin collection book is that they had a hard time figureing out which wrecks some of the older gold cobs in their collection came from: if they were 1715, or from another wreck. Seems they didn't keep the best of records on some of their aquisitions.

Thanks everyone for the congrats, But i have to mention that without my crew and my investors I wouldn't be out there finding this stuff..
All the treasure found by my company GOLD HOUND will be divided 50/50 with the new owners of the 1715 fleet after the state of Florida receives their donation of 20%.
The only detector i use when i'm diving the fleet is an Aqua-Pulse. Nothing else can come close to the depth of this detector. I am also a dealer for them along with Bill Seliger of EO industries if your interested in purchasing one...
The 22 gold coins were scattered in a small area under the Swivel Gun... I had to chisel some of them out of cracks on the bottom but i have to say it was a real thrill diving and every hit i got on the detector was a gold coin...
Thanks again to my friends on Tnet for all the kind words... I will keep you posted on any new finds...

Aquascan International, manufacturers of the Aquapulse, are currently developing a method of "keyhole surgery", whereby a detector coil can be easily pushed through sand and soft sediment to depths of 2 or more metres. The product is called a "jet probe".
Should allow better detection before having to dig down.

Fantastic. |
Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.

GOHO,
I had to comeback and look again...wow. Congrats.
In the news story I saw the guy on the beach searching the dry sand. When you guys make a find so close to shore do you take some time to search on the dry sand or just leave that for the local metal detectorist?
I hope to find a gold coin one day...I might actually have a heart attack if I found 22...lol.
Best of luck for the rest of this season. Look forward to seeing future finds.

I was lucky enough to be on the beach when GOHO pulled up the swivel gun and gold coins. I was even luckier to be let on board the boat to check out the items up close and personal. A big congrats and thank you for the adrenaline rush I got watching you guys find treasure. Good luck on future hunts.

I have a question….Was this a random find by blowing on an area of interest or was this a mag hit?

I know there must be some good gold like you found there, just S of Sebastian Inlet...off the N end of that State recreation beach. But, probably is too close to state owned land to get it. Where was this 1715 Fleet site at you worked? I'll bet Florida still has plenty of gold to find...nice work! |
