To start the summer diving season our operation picked up where it left off last year. Little did we know last year, but we were only a couple days away from our biggest find yet. In almost one excavation we recovered 51 gold coins including a royal 8 escudo dated 1715, many feet of gold chain, some with the famous olive blossom design. 110 silver coins, a dozen silver buttons and various silver artifacts including forks, candle sticks and a fully intact olive jar!

We have been working our tails off all season, and it paid off. 51 gold coins including a royal 8 escudo dated 1715, many feet of gold chain, some with the famous olive blossom design. 110 silver coins, a dozen silver buttons and various silver artifacts including forks and candle sticks and a fully intact olive jar!

Amazing finds. You guys are obviously doing something a bit differenet. Congrats. Did you realize you have made the press in Spain where you are being called a "looter"...lol...

I'm speechless at the moment, how can you put into words such a great success? Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

Wow, amazing finds. Congratulations on sticking with the search to find some awesome relics.

I never understood that, the ship has been down there for 300 years, if they wanted the treasure so bad, they should have excavated it themselves! Not to mention the treasure was stolen from the native peoples of Central America in the first place, so Spain really has no claim to it.
 

I love it! I was just reading about your find the other day! Such an epic recovery!
To think you found part of the same treasure that both Blackbeard and Samuel Bellamy set out to salvage almost 300 years ago is just amazing.
The best part is that there is so much more treasure still out there to find... people will keep on finding pieces for centuries to come.
Will be hard to top this find though. :notworthy:
 

That's what dreams are made of...that Royal 8 is incredible...congrats and good luck to you guys...thanks for sharing on here.
 

Thanks for posting. I can imagine the amount of work, patience and dedication you had (have) to find the tresures underwater. You are the pirates!

Keep us dreaming and show us sometimes it can become true
 

Very nice indeed!:occasion14:
 

Banner is not a worthy enough word for your "hit"...
Good job guys...
Been following your work via media.

Get back on that spot. :)
 

Congrats on the treasure, very worthy of being up top.:occasion14:
 

I can't even imagine what you are feeling. Congratulations on making your hard work pay off.
