New to TreasureNet - Shipwreck Hunting Veteran of M/V LOUISA 1656 Almiranta Tour

[rico4ever]

Howdy Y'all ! My name is Rico and I am an incurable treasure hunter. Its a form of OCD that I picked up while living in Marathon back in the 1980's shadowing Bobby Jordan's Castillian across Coffin's Patch ( always at a respectable distance, mindful of the Admiralty Court ruling...) Used to build a Giant Lobster named Big Betsey when I wasn't treasure diving. Decided to move out of the Federal Occupation Zone following Kane's Bust on Coffin's Patch in April '92. Wound up being selected for the original M/V LOUISA expedition to Cadiz in 2004 in search of the 1656 Almiranta and others. It was quite the opportunity to meet and work with the big dogs like Capt. Jim Whitaker, Claudio Bonafacio, Walter Cardona Bonet, and the late/great Jack Haskins. I wound up with a treasure trove of original Spanish documents, translations, intrepretations, and correspondence relating to the location of this fabled wrecksite ! Is this really the greatest un-found Sunken Treasure in diveable waters worth BILLION$$$ in Cartagena Gold
Or has somebody already found her and is keeping REAL QUIET about it
