Found two pieces of eight and a cannon

[SEAHUNTER]

We have been looking for this cannon for the last six months and found it about ten feet away from where we started. We got sidetracked by finding a couple hundred pieces of eight that took us in the other direction, but Thursday we came out and started again and after getting washed out Friday we made it back today and in the last hole we blew, there it was, just sitting there.

Very cool would like to see pictures of the coins and the cannon too when it is cleaned up a bit.

Please explain to us how a sublease works and do you share with the divers that work on your boat. I have never seen a post from you explaining that to the average Treasure Hunter so they know how the operation works.

like wise

Man, I have found cannonballs and cannonball shrapnel, but it is a very RARE instance for a person to say that he has found a CAN-NON!!!!!!!!!!! That is a great day and the moon must have been a dark shade of BLUE.

Yeah, great dives and finds.....would LOVE to see pics of the coins!........

I guess I'm wondering.....If the cannon is only worth scrap iron prices would it be possible/ feasible to bring the cannon up, clean it up nice and sell it as a nice refurbished cannon?.......I know I wouldn't mind a cannon down in my basement bar.....

HH all!

cannons are a bear to take care of and their $$$ value is not that great but to a few folks money wize --- however finding them is very important since it means that the main wreck site has been finally found often --- thus silver and gold await.
