Hello,
I found this rock in the mountains where it is said a meteorite crashed years ago. Could it be a meteorite? I am not an expert in this field. It does not react to the magnet. Thanks for your help.
Thank you Darren! I was just thinking (may be I am wrong) that Civil War was fought in the high seas literally everywhere. South controlled the cotton, north controlled the iron. I heard there were cases that the ships persuaded one to the other till the shores of Africa, in England water, etc...
Hi,
I came across the information that one civil war schooner, loaded with gold coins from Mexico and which headed for Texas, was blown away by a storm and ended up wrecked in the Caribbean. It was supposed to occur between 1864 - 1867. I am not expert in civil war shipwrecks and detailed civil...

Hello,
I was brought new rock samples today. One of them could contain gold (please, confirm.....!), other one seems to me to be a pyrite. But, anyway, I would like to hear your opinion.... Both samples come from the central mountain range of the Dominican Republic.
Thanks a lot in advance...
Hi Goldwasher,
Thanks for your expertise and quick answer. The sample comes from central mountain range of the Dominican Republic. There were around that spot some smaller gold mines in the past.

Hello,
A friend of mine brought me a rock which he found in the mountains. Because I am not an expert, I would like to ask you, real experts in this field, if this very heavy and beautiful rock with shining silver crystals could be silver or gold or platinum, or if it is just nice sample of...
Hi ShipwreckHunter,
Thanks for very nice photos and story about this famous treasure laden shipwreck. I am not expert in the shipwrecks at those latitudes, but I read several theories about where this wreck could be found, all of them claimed the discovery. When I was talking with Sir Bob Marx...
Kevin,
I would really like to meet you one day in person..... And, of course, not only to test with you this beautiful Scotch drink..... By the way, where is that fantastic spot with the blue hole?
All the best,
Lobo
Hola Claudio,
Tanto tiempo...... So much time, my friend...... I almost thought that you were swallowed by the ground somewhere in Paraguay looking for buried treasures. How was the journey, by the way?
Regarding my "life time hobby", German U-boats, you are completely right that U-boats...
Hello,
German U-boats have been my obsession for years, especially treasure U-boats on their routes to Latin America. My last book written in Spanish was about one that was scuttled in front of the Dominican coast in 1945 ("Nazi Treasure in the Dominican Republic" - original title "Tesoro Nazi...
Well said, Darren!!!
The local fishermen are not these "simple persons, who just drink a beer and play domino", any more. Many years ago I found in a fisherman's cottage close to Montecristi a piece of old ceramic cup, they were drinking coffee from it..... I was told that the father found it in...
Billy,
I have been trying to call you but I could not get through. I will try again still tonight, if I am not successful, please, call me. Important.

Hi Erich,
Nice finds, congratulations!
First of all, Deep Blue Marine has never searched in Cabarete area. Their lease area was always east of Rio San Juan. Believe me, I have been working with Wilf Blum, owner of Deep Blue, as his principal shipwreck researcher. Though, Jason is right, they...
