I was lucky enough to be on the beach when GOHO pulled up the swivel gun and gold coins. I was even luckier to be let on board the boat to check out the items up close and personal. A big congrats and thank you for the adrenaline rush I got watching you guys find treasure. Good luck on future hunts.

Thanks everyone for the congrats, But i have to mention that without my crew and my investors I wouldn't be out there finding this stuff..

All the treasure found by my company GOLD HOUND will be divided 50/50 with the new owners of the 1715 fleet after the state of Florida receives their donation of 20%.

The only detector i use when i'm diving the fleet is an Aqua-Pulse. Nothing else can come close to the depth of this detector. I am also a dealer for them along with Bill Seliger of EO industries if your interested in purchasing one...

The 22 gold coins were scattered in a small area under the Swivel Gun... I had to chisel some of them out of cracks on the bottom but i have to say it was a real thrill diving and every hit i got on the detector was a gold coin...

Thanks again to my friends on Tnet for all the kind words... I will keep you posted on any new finds...

Nice finds! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: Wish that I had some Florida beach/waters to hunt...

Hey Greg,

I have a question….Was this a random find by blowing on an area of interest or was this a mag hit?

All the best,

Chagy…..

I know there must be some good gold like you found there, just S of Sebastian Inlet...off the N end of that State recreation beach. But, probably is too close to state owned land to get it.

Where was this 1715 Fleet site at you worked?

I'll bet Florida still has plenty of gold to find...nice work! :icon_sunny:
