Re: One of the greatest sunken treasure recoveries ever made.......
Great post Tom! Bill is truly a unique individual. When I got the opportunity to work with him for several months in the lab, I quickly realized just how talented (and ingenius) he truly is. Aside from being a treasure recoverer, I saw him do high-level math, database design, video editing, website designing, and artifact conservation....in one day. On top of that he's a genuinely nice guy.
He is one of the good ones, I know lots of us know him so tell him thanks next time you see him. His relationshp with the archaeologists in Tallahassee is part of what lets us do what we do here in Florida, especially on the 1715 Fleet.

GREAT POST! Mad for wrecks......
We are back from our emergency road trip to the Smokey Mountains
of North Carolina..... We have been following the great news of finds
by one of the sub contractors at our Jupiter Historic Shipwreck Site early this season....
Lets go out soon and see if we can come close to matching Bill and this
posts - finds.....
P.S. It will be nice if we can do it in one day as well..... at today's fuel costs!
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!
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.)
