Fayetteville videographer accuses North Carolina of violating his copyright. Florida treasure hunter also suing for breach of contract. Florida treasure-hunting company Intersal Inc., which in 1996 found Blackbeard’s wrecked Queen Anne’s Revenge just off the North Carolina coast, is continuing its litigation against North Carolina. Intersal in North Carolina Business Court accuses the state of breach of contract and infringement of intellectual property rights. The case is scheduled for trial in spring 2018, said John Masters, chairman of Intersal’s board. A spokeswoman for the department declined comment on Monday, on either Allen’s lawsuit or Intersal’s lawsuit and ethics complaints, saying it would be inappropriate for the agency to make a statement now.

I wish the company the best in their lawsuits. If no treasures is found in or near the ship, may Blackbeard bury his treasures nearby. Good hunting and good luck.

Sadly, Outer Banks beaches are one of the few that I have seen that have specific NO METAL DETECTING signs posted. I used to go over the beach there looking for jewelry or coins but no more.
