I am just pulling everyones chain.
O.K. then how about this.
Lets say that there is a Treasure Hunting Company that is offering stock/shares for $1.00 per share but the problem is they do not have a History as yet. They however ARE in the process of acquiring the right paper work to complete a proper search This company has some good equipment including several boats with the smallest being 22' and the other being 35'.
Two members are Certified divers and have a very good background.
(You will notice that I have not mentioned any names

.)
DBM must have offered a FEW million shares TO EVEN GET STARTED.
The company that I am talking about has a safe storage location already paid for to put everything that is recovered at this location for inspection by WHOEVER?
Here is what this company knows about the wreck they want to recover.
1. It is in shallow water.
2. It is believed to be about 400 years old.
3. This is based on th size of the ship and the over all design.
4. It has at least one bronze cannon
5. There has been one item recovered but that was 30 years ago.
a. The item was a 18" diameter Mayan plate. At today price it would be valued at an estimated $1,000,000.00 USD.
6. The comany has the EXACT location of this wreck.
What the company believes:
1. It is a CORTES ship.
OR
2. It is a Spanish ship
OR
It is a VERY WELL KNOWN ship that disappeared from the History books a very long time ago. YOU HAVE TO REALLY LET YOUR IMAGATION RUN WILD TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO THIS ONE.
The Company Plans:
After establishing who owns this ship the company plans to raise the ship as complete as possible.
During this process the company will remove as much mud and silt as possible BEFORE the ship is raised.
Common sense will tells you that wet mud is very heavy.
In fact there are plans to build a Cofferdam around this ship even before they start to bring it up.
The Company is still in the planning stage as to how it will approach this ship wreck. But since the vis is "0" it cannot be approached in the established manner that a ship wreck is normally recovered.
DISCLAIMER:
This is in no way an offering to sell stock/shares in any company anywhere and shall not be construed as such.
Well how about that- I did not mention the company a single time.
Now you can have A FIELD DAY and take this apart anyway you feel like doing.
I wish to thank everyone for their responses and for their ideas.
I DO listen.
