1659 Spanish Galleon Hunt - GREAT Thread!!!

[ScubaFinder]

Me and a group of members from T-Net were invited to hunt the shipwreck of the San Miguel de Arcangel, a Spanish treasure galleon that went down in 1659 off the East coast of Florida. We had an absolute blast, made some great new friends, and brought up 28 Spanish Pieces of 8 (mostly 8 reales, with a few 4's and 1/2 reales too.

The thread makes for a good read and lots of pics...here's a teaser, that's me with 7 of the coins from Saturday morning.

A dream realized for sure! I forgot to thank SeaHunter from here at T-Net for setting the whole thing up, and Rio bravo and his crew for putting a really nice vessel on site, feeding us, and providing top notch surface support for all of the divers. It truly was the adventure of a lifetime, and it never would have happened without Treasurenet!
