A GOOD DAY DIVING THE 1715 FLEET!!!

[FISHEYE]

I was gonna say before they started taking off the encrustation,that i bet theres treasure inside the cannon.Several cases that i heard of cannons being packed with coins and jewelry.What a nice bonus!They should have had it xrayed before beating off the encrustation.

..I always expect that the 'good stuff' is never reported...and I don't mean to imply this a bad thing..God knows the govt is nothing but common criminals...

We are now up to 45 gold coins and 52 silver coins in the cannon.

Thanks, Apolla. Everyone says 1715 treasure is a bygone era. We now have hope again

 

[Cappy Z.]

..I think Apolla is a worthy of a banner....and I dare ANY pirate here to disagree...!

 

[Cappy Z.]

...funny...it's awful quiet here...

I guess it goes to show you that persistance is the key to success in life. Forget "TODAYS THE DAY" if you ask me... its "NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS"!

I have always heard of stories about cannons packed with treasure but to find one is absolutely amazing.... Today we watched Bill Moore the conservator at the Mel Fisher Museum as he pulled Gold and Silver coins out of the breach of the Bronze Swivel Gun we found a couple days ago... He pulled 25 Gold and 38 Silver Coins and still there is more cleaning to do... Our total count so far is 48 Gold Two Escudos and 45 Silver four's and Eight's and a Bronze Gun...

Greg, this absolutely FANTABULOUS!! and it just doesnt end. I have a feeling that this is not just an isolated find, but the start of something even bigger. Talk to you soon.

Most likely the cannon was stored in the hold next to some chests of coins.Being the breach was open when the ship wrecked and the coins came out of their chests,or the chests broke or got crushed from debris from above they ended up in the breach of the cannon.

Or they were contraband hidden in the cannon.

The cannons muzzle was plugged by an unknown substance and the coins appeared to have been placed there maybe in a sack.
