For anyone interested, here are some pictures of the HMS Fantome wrecksite (at least this is what we called it). We used to dive this wreck in the 1980's. I've seen a few coins and tokens found, but not enough to get excited. There are stories of a signifigant amounts of silver having been recovered here in the 1970's, but I've not personally seen any of it.
Overall the wrecksite is in an extremely exposed , and shallow, location and takes a brutal beating during the winter months. The two winter pictures are during "normal" "calm" weather. To stand on this shore during a proper storm is a sight to see indeed!
The pictures of the divers below are the Soverign crew working the site in 2005 (if I recall the year correctly).
