    You re right Cornelius,,,

    If Les doesn't have it.... you don't need it!
    He is a great guy as well.....
    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!

    Re: all you need for salvage

    Many years ago in Orlando, when I worked for UPS, one of my driver's delivered to Les Savege's business off Forsythe Rd. I was just starting out in the treasure business and my driver told me about this guy who wore a gold coin around his next and had a yard full of boats, motors, pumps, dredges and other marine equipment.

    I took a drive out there one day to see it for myself, and that is how I met Les. He had a salvage boat called Sgt. Peppers in his yard at that time.

    Les recovered some gold off the 1715 Cabin wreck if I remember correctly.

    Cornelius, Les is quite a guy. His yard is full of things that most of us only dream of. I was lucky enough to have an old Pirate named Aquanut introduce me to Les. Thanks John, that was a memorable day.

    Everyone in this business would benefit from a relationship with Les. He has never refused any favor I've asked of him and every business dealing has been honest and fair. I have grown to trust him and now consider him a good friend.

    I was reading a newspaper called the Abaconian, in the Abacos, Bahamas, and Les has ads in it for hookahs. There are over 350 hookah divers, in the Bahamas, commercial spearfisherman and lobster divers, using hookahs. So he has a good sales base there.
