Seven chests near stump pass

[Blak bart]

Possibly the pass was more like this area in the 1800s and farther back. ??

Great job Bill,but soon as I can because I,m very busy with land projects right now.I will go down there and pinpoint every chest and mark it with all red bouys with info on how deep each chest is underneath the sand.P.s you can take that to the bank because I have verified information that for 100% saw them with a certain government satellite. But does anyone has what it takes to getting them out.

Blak bart,you,re a bit too far north.But it,s the thrill of the hunt lol.

I couldn't get Google Earth to show any borders for the park out in the water.

 

[Red_desert]

Looks like the park takes in waters surrounding the island. Zoom Earth maps.

 

[Red_desert]

Seems like most of the Florida state parks are located where shipwrecks might be. Maps continued.

Area appears much larger zoomed in more.

I have sailed those waters and the area is particularity nasty there. It can be clear water all along the coast but you have to give that area a wide berth as the water is murky and shallow. Normally I run my sailboat in the 15 ft water just off the beach. Last year they were dredging there so it would not be chests but removed waste unless it is onshore within the park boundaries, or farther offshore where obstruction is shown or wreck site in 22 ft of water. Also dredge had several red buoys set along where you are talking about so did they recover them and you are searching for something already gone? I have always wondered about the reported obstruction shown as round circle in channel, with no data around it.

Even if the final resting place for the ship, I would think there could be scatter before sinking.

Red,you make the most sense ,because when I show everyone where they are,than it will make all the sense to everyone.

Atocha wreck, a huge wave slammed it down on rocks or reef, breaking up some, then winds shifted and dragged it to sink in deeper water. Later hurricans the same year scattered stuff over a wide area. Main reason why it took so long to find the Atocha. On the treasure 1715 coast, the ships were moving back and forth, even overlapping their drift trails.​

Great post

Red,the chests are still intact from the wreck believe me or not.I will take the time to get the least buried one up to prove a point and than the rest.Come to Florida and I will prove to you where they are without getting one out.

After tropical storms,Spanish coins have been washing up on the beach at Stump pass,just SW of Grove City.The dates are running from 1754-1762,and the coins are in good condition.A gold 8 Escudo with similar date was recovered in the water from the same area.

Why not go ahead and get one out?

 

[joska]

Because,if you would have read threads pertaining to the seven chests.You would have seen that I,m in the middle of land,island projects right at the moment.They are not going anywhere lol.

 

[Darren in NC]

Hmm. I did read, and you said this: "I will take the time to get the least buried one up to prove a point..."

I don't care either way, but you did offer the time, and you are clearly taking the time to be generous with your knowledge here.

This is quoted from Jeffrey Kramer's 1964 compilations correct ?

That's an old time tale... although I have heard some claims of validity from a few old timers though.

If that is the inlet I'm thinking of, I'd read the article, as published in a treasure magazine some 30+ years ago. I'm thinking the inlet of the treasure article published, was on the west Florida coast. Two different families or groups working the inlet, ended shooting at the other side. It's been a long time, but one side must have brough up or located a chest. The state finally had to close down the site, nobody would listen and stop shooting.

Darren,please know that I can only be certain sites at certain time and getting things out is our number one priority .We are working on island and land targets at this time and I only was trying to give someone productive to go after them as I have gps numbers for all 7 chests and if you scan right at them,you will have no problem finding them.P.s I have detection that can and will pinpoint them all and see them under the sand period.I told you guys that I had credible information from another source that can see them underneath the sand and you can take that to the bank.I do have multiple and multiple active sites and was just thought to give someone else a good shot at it.
