Mad for Wrecks Strikes Again hunting for treasure off the "Tank" in Jupiter!
Tom managed to get his old aqua pulse to work
diving off the Tank Today at our Jupiter Site!
Don't forget to watch "Eye on South Florida, Fox WFLX
Channel 29, cable on Comcast 11, at 6:30 am Tomorrow {Saturday}!
Since 1987 our Jupiter Wreck has continued to yield coins but the question, "Where's the rest of the Ship?" has remained unanswered... There are 2 layers of shipwreck scatter and we are equipping the "Enterprise" to excavate the primary treasure layer. Join with us this year!

Thanks Tom for posting the photos.
These coins we found off the main scatter pattern
trail prove just how rich our Jupiter Shipwreck Site actually is!
I was particularly pleased that these coins have iron oxide in their encrustations
and are particularly "chunky" and have great weight!
We can't wait to be digging a little deeper along the line we are on
tomorrow.... Oh by the way, this is the line we found the
ship's rigging on two weeks ago!

TREASURE COAST!!!
Psalm 107:23-24
They that go down into the sea in ships; and make working in many waters.
They saw the works of the Lord; and his marvels in the depth. (And they saw the works of the Lord; and his marvelous deeds in the depths of the sea.)

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain

Awesome stuff!
So you are saying you are off the main scatter but along another line that you have been recovering coins along, plus parts of the ships rigging?
That's cool, but what does it mean, if anything? Another part of the stricken ship floated by here on its way to the bottom? Or the main park of the ship dropped goodies as it floundered in the surf here before dumping its main load somewhere else?

That my friend is the two hundred million dollar question
my friend....
"Just Where is the Rest of the Wreck?"
We hope to do our best - with "out of the box" - thinking
and a new and fresh approach and that is the soap box I
am climbing up upon....

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX. (my specialty)
Perhaps there are Two 1600's treasure shipwrecks at Jupiter Inlet, sinking within 9 years of each other? One being a Marvilla, salvage ship fleeing a storm in the Bahamas?
Perhaps, when these ships sank at Jupiter Inlet the shoreline was 500 feet farther East than the present shoreline?
Perhaps the Indians salvaged a large portion of these Shipwrecks and buried the chests of Gold coins & bar, and cannon on what was then land, all the way back to the present shore line, and inside the Inlet?
Perhaps you won't find the bulk of the Treasure at the Ballast piles?
