GME has no plan to work with the State of Florida again EVER
We may work in Florida but not with the State, off shore is GME future
Was onshore an option? Are you saying you plan to work offshore in Florida waters, but not with the State of Florida? Perhaps you will work with France or Spain? Will you just work without regard to the Florida rules (well, nevermind)
Looking at the letters and emails that you provided;
The email that someone wrote a big WTF on. (classy)
1. This appears to be someone very frustrated with GME and the use of blowers. The email actually states it IS NHRP eligible, and GME is blasting away on the site with blowers. This seems to contradict what you stated that blowers were allowed, and your claim that the site is not eligible for NHR program. (which I did not concur with)
2. They email states that they do not issue 1A-31 permits yet. Is this true?
3. It mentions the permit was filed under BHP, which is a scrap metal salvage dealer permit. What is going on here? Scrap metal dealer, well okay, at least you were honest, but...
4. It states using a blower is not archaeological work . Concur.
5. It mentions that any decent CRM firm could have identified the site without blowing it apart. Concur.
Letter to Florida Sec of State
In writing to the Florida Sec of State, or in fact, any letter or post, PLEASE use spell check. Misspelled simple words, incorrect sentence structure, and formatting issues just do not look good when trying to expond as some sort of professional.
When a Company is writing a letter, it is 'we" not 'I'.
So, other than your 'word', what did you provide that refuted the Republic of France claim to ownership? Did you provide information that showed it may belong to Spain? Is half the information the truth?
As noted before, the posts on TNET, and videos shown on youtube clearly show what was done to the site, identity issues, and a clear disdain for the people you are working for.
Note that when you get a permit from Florida, you are, in effect, working THEIR property FOR them. When was the last time that anyone trashed the property owner, ie employer, in the public forum, where it ended well for the employee?
Glowackis email states that GME has not submitted the ACOE permit, is this true? Does GME have an ACOE permit for that area?
I feel that there is quite a bit of disinformation being provided, that is being found out and/or determined after the story has been posted.
I have asked several times, on several threads on this issue, the permit has been revoked, why was it revoked. Not GME's simply stating that Florida illegally took it away, but the actual reasons from Florida that supported the decision to revoke the permit. I can see in the emails why it was revoked, but I want to know what the actual reasoning was that was provided to GME. Please provide that email/documentation from Florida that rescinded the permit. On that note, was it revoked or rescinded?
Of course everyone is reading TreasureNet, as TNET is a viable source of information on Treasure Hunting, archaeology, and historical information. In reality, as the email noted, GME posted it on Treasurenet first.
Did GME notify the State of Florida on the find on their property first, or did Florida find out from reading TNET? (as well as substantiation of the means of preliminary investigation?)
Again, as we can all see, these types of actions are a source of significant frustration to the State of Florida. While stating proper research techniques, as I have stated before in watching the video, this was far from a preliminary site recon, and far from any sort of proper archaeological recovery principles and recovery techniques.
Again, as someone who is vested in underwater recoveries, I want to continue with my business, and will endeavor to protect that.
Noting the email from the State, and what I have observed, use that as the context to which I am posting on these matters.
Keep in mind, GME made these posts here on TNET. The posts and information provided on TNET in 2 threads, one as an update to operations, another as a quest for help with identification, and on Youtube, were by and from GME, and were NOT as responses to any posts.
