Claudio has a good point there. The treasure is not doing any good sitting on the bottom of the sea.

Or you can all wear a mask and sanitize your hands. Its way lot cheaper.

The masks are not given away by the public health system. The citizen has to buy them (in many countries of the European Union). But in many countries it is mandatory to carry it (and pay it out of pocket). Masks have made and are doing a lot of business. Taking out treasures could be distributed free to citizens, since it is mandatory to carry them.

Or you can all castrate all males at birth. Its a way lot cheaper.

They cost you the price of a coffee. I always wear mine and I am a poor archaeologist.

 

[BillA]

I was suggesting a broader and longer term resolution.
Few female wreck drivers.

Of course select males would be complete.

In many (third) world countries there is not enough money for a cup of coffee, but there are plenty of wealthy galleons to buy breathing apparatus, masks, gels and if there is money left over to subsidize financial aid for unemployed people due to the coronavirus.

In many (third) world countries there are plenty of natural resources (oil, gas, gold, timber) to buy breathing apparatus, masks, gels and if there is money left over to subsidize financial aid for unemployed people due to the coronavirus. It is better to end corruption and third world exploitation than have their cultural heritage cherrypicked to be sold in first world auctions.

I helped to end treasure hunting in Mozambique and I did the math. Not only the country ended up with no money from the gold, silver and chinese porcelain sold, they even had to put money of their own in the Arqueonautas debacle.

Now, like in Cape Verde.. no heritage, no money, no nothing.

THs fled and the only thing they left in country was their boat to rot at Mozambique island.

 

[Salvor6]

Here in Florida Mel Fisher established a museum to conserve the cultural heritage and put it on display for everyone to enjoy. The excess coins and bullion were sold to help make everyone involved wealthy. And, to top it off, even the state got 20% to fill their coffers. It all depends on how you manage it. Arquenautas started out by going to the wrong place. There are no treasure filled galleons around Mozambique Island.

Leave it to an archaeologist to bring "mask shaming" to a treasure hunting forum.

"Its way lot cheaper. "

But it's less lots fun!

I already usually wear a mask... so it is no big deal!

Well, hopefully some crumbs are left for the Covid-19. One fact is significant: UNESCO prohibits profit, but UNICEF asks for money for poor children. Paradoxes of things!

 

[A2coins]

Yep that would do it

 

[Alexandre]

Why dont you go to the Sistine Chapel, carve that Michelangelo ceiling in small pieces and sell it apiece?

I bet it would fetch a nice price.

Boy, I feel like I need to provide a link to the Wikipedia definitions of hypocrites or hypocrisy.

When "historians or "archaeologists" start donating their artifact or lima collections to museums or stop attending the Sedwick coin auction or stop travelling across the Atlantic to treasure hunt in the US because they're not allowed to do it back in Europe.

In other words, when hell freezes over.

Back in the mid '80s I was delivering a 53' Van de Stadt sailboat with a girlfriend and we hung out at the hotel in Port Royal . The docks were being rebuilt by several brothers from Miami and I watched them 'wander' offshore while diving. Took awhile but eventually I was able to get their confidence and they told me they had made one trip to Miami to sell a shoebox of pieces of eight. Every coin shop they walked into the guy told them someone else had been there earlier selling the same vintage coins. His description matched one of the Texas A & M scientist that was staying at the hotel. Probably paying off his student loans instead of diving for 'science'. I've been jaded about archaeologist since then.

It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to understand the difference between the Sistine Chapel and an 8-reales coin. The first is unique, the second, there are millions in every shipwrecked Spanish galleon!

 

[Alexandre]

Na. Every coin is unique. Anyhow, you were looking for a source of money, I pointed you to one, readily available.

 

[Alexandre]

Names of those "historians or "archaeologists", please.
