Oh, yeah. I hunt for shipwrecks, from the comforts of my own home. From two pirate maps I derived the locations, then searched the web to see if anything turned up in those spots. One was Big Duck Island, Maine the other off of Atlantic Beach North Carolina with an X marking the spot. The first was discovered through Captain Kidd's Key or Skeleton Island Map, of which two pirate treasures have turned up there in the 1950's. More info on this can be seen at http://user.adelphia.net/~spainhe/ellen/gdi.htm. Oh, if I had been born earlier and old enough to find it first. The second I will list below, this was discovered the year I graduated high school, I just solved this one about a month ago, it's Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge. So, I'm getting closer to nabbing one of my own. I have had great help from James Ruddach, Kevin Kidd, and Howard Frey. But research is my game, and I owe alot of my finds to such simple things as a Rand McNally Atlas and Google Earth, to help me scope things out. I'll enclose a picture of a galleon, which I have found, it is in very shallow water, so much can be seen. It is located off an unpopulated island in the Carribean, and I believe is the answer to the "Galleon Wrecks" portion of Captain Kidd's Mar Del Map. If I knew about investors and finding all the people I would need to bring it together, I'd be there right now, there's no info on this area anywhere on the web! But how to get there before someone beats me to it? If anyone wants info from my archives on these two treasures found, but already found you can e-mail me at [email protected] I'm saving them to write a book on the adventures I've had from behind a computer.
