1715 scatter patterns

I wouldn't worry about doing business of any sort with Signumops. Everything Signumops offers is top notch. I've been using his mapping program and I love it.

I will let everybody here know when it is ready for delivery. It's 160 pages of text and I can only do about 20 pages a day, and I still have another week's worth of work to do on it, aside from the cover. Doug added a special appendix to this edition with all of his cob cleaning techniques inside.

As for Tommy's maps... I tried to get him to pin down the location where he had the stuff at his house, but he was not feeling well at the time and did not want to ramble around his homestead looking for the stuff. Meanwhile, the salvage season is upon us and he is here working the Lobster Man for the time being. Elsewise, when the season is done, we might continue on with the maps scanning project.

Claudio wanted to host his own version of his book in English as a Kindle edition and he has that on the market now at his own storefront, so I have put the second edition of his original work on hold indefinitely.

Now, for this issue of "scatter patterns"... I asked "how much is it worth to you?" to gauge the market. Weller, Meylach, Singer, and Marx have all done well making disclosures. It is just not time for me to tell everything I know, aside from the Cape area where it no longer matters. You can't dig there, anywhere, off shore or on the shore.

I could easily capitalize on the other information I have, but, I will only do that once all the players are off the field.

But, I am still going to do the Cape book.

Listen. I don't want to gush, but I've got 2 copies of your book..one signed by both of you. You guys have written the premier book on east coast treasure hunting. I find it invaluable..every time I read it I find something new written between the lines. Tommy has a wealth of knowledge which MUST be documented for us, and future generations. Hell, I'll buy 20 copies if that will help!

Terry, Congrats on the book, I think it's a real interesting read. I trust you will come up with something else. Keep it up. Your idea of doing a book about things on or near shore sounds interesting. I once shared a hospital room with one of the orginal treasure divers down here. (25 years ago). At that moment I knew very little about the area and the history. I had a back operation and wasn't thinking much about treasure and history. I missed my chance at a opportunity to learn first hand, my loss but I had to earn a living.

Sign me up too.

I also have, The rainbow chasers..
Nice reading

I am truly grateful to all of you who read Rainbow Chasers and will report your comments to Tommy... he does not use a computer and never gets to see what we post here on Tnet, unfortunately. Otherwise he may have reacted years back. There were several angles in the original book that he glazed over, for the same reasons that would prohibit me from elaborating further myself, namely that some of the actors were still around. Meanwhile, in the last 6 or 7 years a number of them have died, or the legislation has changed, zoning has taken place (FKNMS for example, Canaveral Nat. Seashore for another), and the statute of limitations has run its course. And, subsequent to the publication of the first edition, other hunters have directed contact toward me, and I have discovered a great deal of information regarding other wrecks in other places, most of which were not on Tommy's radar at any time. I've also signed several non-disclosure agreements for various interests, which leaves obvious gaps in my tale-telling. I will definitely pass all your comments on to Tommy. Once again, Thanks!

I never had a problem using the beaches except for the tourists looking at you funny. I do use a non-traditional treasure hunting method. Disney tourists think walking on the beach being seen in your bikini is a "status thing".
Anyway, those tourists kept walking over the top of treasure and artifacts...to my advantage.
They see you pick up something they think is junk and have no idea the history you are holding in your hand. I think where TH's get into trouble is digging big holes and not filling them back in.

As far as water hunting..."what you do in the ocean stays in the ocean if a shark eats you"

Good Luck and Have Fun !

You know, there seems to be a lot of interest in this particular venue. It would have to be a 8.5 X 11, and probably in color. The production cost per copy would probably run around 60 or 70 bucks in single copy print orders (that's the only way I can provide printed books to you). Almost all of the data I have is in color, with the exception of the old 1943 aerials. All the Fisher dig charts are color keyed.
Saw Tommy last week at the dock. I believe his crew put their boat to bed for the season with the transit of Isaac, but we were just getting started ourselves, and I am working on books as I write this while the storm passes. Almost done with Armstrong's conservation book. Still might get to Tommy's house this Fall to see what he wants to do. He must be feeling better, since he did go out and dig this year.

It would be nice if you could have a CD to go with it so large scale charts could be printed. What's it worth? What does a tank of gas cost?
