Herbo also used sidescan sonar. He had a guy named Sullivan operating the sonar.

Do you know if they found any thing in deep water, theres not a lot about Herbo online. I think he worked mostly of Rob Marx info?

Yes, Sullivan told me he found a wreck in deep water but he never went back there as far as I know.

Was that the wreck in 100 meters?

He didn't tell me the depth. A buddy of mine bought a chart of "hang sites" from a commercial fisherman. 10 miles due east of Amelia Island is a site where they would trawl up pieces of rotten wood. They called this site the "Jesus Maria." That is the name of one of the 1589 fleet vessels.
