Hey guys! I'm going to Cancún soon and was just wondering if there were any treasure wrecks near Cancún that have been lost. Thanks! Anyone who helps I'll cut you in lol.
Years ago I visited Cozumel Island off of Cancun.At the southern tip there is a lighthouse. At that time, it was manned by one family (one exposed light fixture, dirt floors and hammocks for beds. We made a deal with the dad; he would provide lobsters and we would provide the beer and tequila. Deal was made and a memorable (40 years ago and counting) meal was enjoy by all. But I digress......Years later, a close friend told me he had just returned from that same location, had met the old man who--after a while-- showed my friend a rain barrel topped off with Spanish coins found on the beach and in the sea. Neither my friend nor I have returned to Cozumel. You may want to do a little searching in that area if you get over to Cozumel.

I knew the old guy, too. That is at Punta Sur,,, which is now a tourist park.
