Mercury on Spanish Shipwrecks

Pubmech
I suggest you look up methyl mercury so you can understand where our concerns are. Also wouldn't it be nice if Spain saw the environmental light and decided to try and recover some of their own mercury(which wasn't plundered from another civilization) instead of just the gold and silver which those of us here on Treasurenet have spent vast amounts of time and money recovering only to have them try to plunder it again in the courts.
 

whats unbelievable is that he posted on a 3 1/2 year old thread
 

He obviously mistakenly signed up on the wrong forum
 

treasure hunter seek outbound --headed for spain vessels loaded with minted silver and gold coins and bars ---mercury was used to refine raw gold ore so it could be separated for refining into bars and mined into coins thus it was on inbound for the "new world" vessels coming from spain --one set of cargo mercury and slaves from Africa was inbound to the new world --the other wealth was outbound back to spain from the "new world"... we are after the Spanish bound cargo ..the finished product...
