Your right...they must have a good reason they pulled them down.

Maybe they are in talks with the Discovery Channel to do a special...have to keep something for the money shot...or in this case the doubloons shot.

I can't see that beeing the issue. The photos were not that great. The canon one was nice.

I am sure Greg and the guys will give us a few more to drool over.

I was half joking about the Discovery Channel but I would love to see someone do a special about their work and finds. I think it would make for some very interesting/educational TV which we don't have enough of these days.

AMAZING

when people talk of Treasure the mind thinks of shipwrecks, and the cargo it carried, pieces of eight, Gold dubloons and Cannons spring to mind... you have just posted the true meaning of this site...Treasure

Congrats on your success! It's encouraging for us beach guys to know stuff is still there, despite the slim pickins' on our beaches.

Now if Indian River county had better access................

Hi there--I hunt for the gold in its natural state--nuggets in particular; however, this is one fascinating thread about finding gold in coin form, along with some fascinating artifacts--congratulations!

All the best with your search and conservation efforts,

Lanny

I am not sure if I am correct on facts but did Greg not find gold coins on the beach after a storm many years ago? Maybe they came from the same "pocket" as the gun? If its the same beach....worth magging the first few feet of water and moving the sand. Amazing find, congrats!

I'm glad to hear the site is producing for you. I wish you all the best, you guys deserve it.

When I went and looked at the Mayflower 2 at Plymouth Rock, they had one iron falconette on display with the ship that looked sort of like that gun. It was stubby, more like the mortarette in legnth. Unfortunately, the picture I took of it turned out blurred.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to make note that today marks the 295th anniversary of the sinking of the Plate Fleet.
