I already know all that.

Ivan... no offense... but most of that info is readily available online given enough Google searches.

Again... no offense.

IS there something YOU have to offer that isn't "common knowledge" so to speak ?

Looks like you want to post some info and are looking for an excuse to do so... so have at it... I for one am listening.

Yes, I detected from Vero beach up past Sebastian inlet for over a year and still do. Do you have any reliable info on a ship or 2 that made it further North before being wrecked near shore?
thanks.

Something about the 1715 dosent jive with me. I have learned everything I know through this forum, I am no expert. . Where is the “rest” of it? “Supposedly” there’s a lot left. There are big missing links to this puzzle that shouldn’t be missing. What we have here is a heavily laden fleet that exploded in shallow water very very close to land. This might sound naive or rude, but why hasant the rest been found? You will never find all of it, and I understand the ocean is a very big place. I naturally compare this fleet to other high profile wrecks. In my personal opinion it seems that it would be much much harder to find say the Atocha or even more so the 1641 Concepcion. That wreck was found so far out in the middle of nowhere buried in miles of reef that all look the same. That’s the definition of finding a needle in a haystack. Yet the 1715 that busted up practically on the beach is so elusive. I just don’t get it. My theory is that the 1715 was salvaged much much more extensively than we realize, or more than people want to admit. Is there any salvage record of say late 1800s turn of the century? Has poaching this last century been way more rampant than publicized? Did the Indians get more than we ever imagined? Too much just dosent add up. The search area is drastically smaller than the previous wrecks I mentioned not to mention the water column is much shallower. Did the reef system grow at a rapid rate covering a lot up? How have more locations not been positively identified. There are “theories” but little concrete evidence. Not one single bell has been recovered on a site to positively identify it? I understand the scatters run together. Or is there a lot of hush hush to keep the investors there to keep the wheel always turning. Sorry for the long rant.

I agree. that's why I asked the question. Some must have made it farther North knowing the storm was coming and they too would have been run against the reefs. I've searched Ponce inlet and didn't find anything but I need a good storm to come in and take out about 10' of the sand. Ill bet a lot of that treasure is now buried under parking lots off A1A.
