Vone Research Inc.

Does anyone know anything about Vone Research Inc. The map someone posted under the topic Jupiter Inlet depicting all of the current salvage and exploration contracts on the east coast of FL show them to have a contract south of the Jupiter Wreck Agreement, but the map is of such poor quality that it is impossible to figure out any reference areas to use as landmarks. Does anyone know if this contract is active and where it is located?

Thanks,
Galleon Hunter

Just call the state fellows, they'll tell you specifics- kind of have to with the FOI act. I think the jupiter inlet site is the only one worked down there, but don't know perfectly. Maybe Vone is the name of the jupiter business side of it?
Anyway....

Dr. Ray McAllister is part of the Vone Research Group. I think Steve Singer is/was involved with them too at some point.

I don't know if their lease is still active, which I think is in the Hillsborough Inlet area.

It appears to be a considerable distance from the Jupiter Wreck agreement, about as far south of Jupiter as the Rio Mar wreck is in ralation for Jupiter, going north. Still there is no scale and no reference to shoreward features to tell where the contract area is.

Vone's lease is around the Hillsboro Inlet area. You can usually see their boat "Vone", working the area on Sunday (has twin blowers on the back). They have been working north of the Inlet lately.

I've seen coins supposedly found when the dredge was pumping sand from the inlet (1715 time frame coins), though since I did not find them, can't verify they were actually from that area. 1600's era Spanish cannon was recoverd by the Pompano Pier in the 60's and there are many wrecks buried under the sand in this area (mostly 1800's era).
