Anybody have an idea what shipwreck this eBay coin came from? I also recall seeing a gold bar on eBay from the "Golden Fleece" shipwreck.

Very good condition coin. Seems like a land find, but you never know.

Old Man,
Can you give us an update on the Burt Webber/ Black Jack Haskins project?
Many of us are awaiting news.
Thanks

 

[old man]

I could, but I won't. Both parties have ask me not to release any info, until they make an announcement.

 

[Claudio]

My professional view is that, considered the smuggling is impossible to determine which is the richest shipwreck. In the Spanish galleons the smuggling reached 400% about the official load. Advance hypothesis about the richest will be pure speculation.

 

[vintagesailor]

Anyone interested please email me, I have outside knowledge.

I live In the Florida keys and have many friends among which are some who have more extensive knowledge amoung certain shipwrecks after decades of research.

Klaus33,
The book you posted a link for is there an english version anywhere? Thanks!

What is the worlds richest shipwreck? Not the San Jose. Not the Flor de la Mar. There is one that stands far above these treasure wrecks.

Salvor youre right. Follow this link and read the last sentence of the article: http://www.spiegel.de/international/1,1518,429119,00.html

If an aircraft carrier sink because it is overloaded with buillon, then its got to be the richest wreck in the world

Yeh, but a theory is not the same as a proven manifest. The last sentence says. One theory is that it sunk because it was overloaded with stolen nazi war bullion.

You'd have to dive to find out. Lots 'O money to spend for someone's theory.

Can't be the richest until the cargo is proven to exsist.

Gentleman contrary to several comments posted, I've searched the Serranillas between 1992 and 1995 with proper government permits, and have collected evidence that artifacts dated from the early 1600 were found in the area along with 16 canons dated from the same era.

In Serranillas have sunk about 60 ships in the Spanish colonial era. Very difficult to determine who is who.

Where you with Joe B. ? or with Don Mckay?

"One theory suggests the aircraft carrier may have been overloaded with Nazi war bullion."

"Nazi war bullion" should set off alarm bells ...................

Hey old man, do they claim to have found one of the 1604 fleet wrecks? That would be an almost impossible task. I would be very interested to know what general area the cannons were found. Here is why. I heard: A friend of mine claims to have found the Santo Domingo from the same fleet. He salvaged it for 4 years before the moratorium and found artifacts that match the Santo Domingo. It is located N. of Memory Rock in the Bahamas. He said the Spanish lied about the location of the wrecked fleet to keep pirates from easy pickins in the shallow waters of the Bahamas.

Bahamas Spanish Shipwreck 2 Escudo Doubloon Gold Coin 18k Necklace

This the one?

 

[Salvor6]

No, thats not the one. That coin came from Seville. It is also listed as a Phillip IV coin. Phillip IV reigned from 1621 to 1665.
Since I originally posted this thread in 2007 I did some more research with a noted archival scholar and we believe the Santo Domingo is not wrecked on Seranilla reef or an island off Nicaragua. It is somewhere else.
