The silver bar at the top is about 12#, and obviously has not been cleaned, so we don’t know about mint marks or assay marks. The coins are all Spanish silver reales, and range in date from mid 1600's to 1700.
I am now asking you forum members for some help. We are in need of venture capital to finish the salvage operations. We don’t need a salvage company, or divers, or boats or equipment. We just need the financier. Anyone able to help us will become a partner in the venture. This is not a U.S. jurisdiction project, so meticulous details need to be addressed. We are professionals, and have been doing this for over 40 years. Contact can be made by PM or email, but not on an open forum. I will show some of the cannon again, and the treasure.

Your cannons are late 18th century and French- do they come from the same wreck as your Spanish 17th century silver?

Bill! If I might ask. Why would you need a financer? With the finds you've made, looks like you would sell some and let the finds finance you? Plus you say you've been a salver of sunken ships for years! Looks like you would be flush enough to go for it yourself by now? Or by this time know people that would be happy to join you?
What amount of money are you looking for a person to put up anyway? And does the new partner have any say in anything or the right to go on the hunt with you? With in a 100 miles where is this recovery to take place? I ask these questions in a respectful way and I don't think there out of line. Good Luck.

Is the bar for-sale?
Most of the reales...razor blades...your wreck in a high energy zone? few workable days...most days spent on land...gets kinda expensive...

How it is possible that I can not see the pictures??? I am not too much skilful in computers, that 's right, but everybody talks about maps and photos and I see nothing, damn! It makes me nervious. Tell me what to do or what to download, please.

Thanks!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Bill, if you have recovered this much you shouldn't have a hard time finding anyone who would finance your wreck. But something smells like a foot, a foot thats been lodged up, way up in someones a$$! Not to say you are trying to scam anyone, but its very odd.

I think you would have to explain your operation and details (not location or anything to give it away) to help us understand whats going on. There are some very serious members here who have the money and connections to help finance an operation. An explanation would boost your credibility.

Good memory, Fisheye. I knew I has seen those pics before, but I couldn't find them in the search.

Bill, are you reefrunner? I noticed your emails are almost the same. You can imagine how many times people have asked for money on this forum, so please reply and let us know what's up.

Best to you,
Darren

The cannons and coins are from three different wrecks. As I posted earlier, I will not discuss this on an open forum. All of the forum members questions are logical, but we have not received enough private responses as of yet to reveal anymore. However, some of you so-called experts are way off with your identification and dating.
