You would get more help by posting in the "Shipwrecks" section of Treasurenet. There are many members there that can advise you on how to obtain a permit for salvage, if it is not already in someones salvage area. The first thing I would do is check to see if it has already been discovered and left in situ or within someone elses state permit area. Then I would contact that permit holder. Or maybe you have found a undiscovered shipwreck. 8)
