sir francis drake treasure in panama

cw,
When in that area, I was more concerned about the 'big hungries' and snakes in the water versus those on land.

nothing to add just curious, you hunters that go to that area
your not worried about the drug cartel/s

I"ve been to Portobello many times and it's a safe and popular tourist attraction. I'd be much more worried about random petty crime (although still unlikely) or the local authorities confiscating your detector. You're probably thinking of the Darien province (more towards Colombia). It's quite far from Portobello.

I,too, was under the impression the coffin was outside Porto. bay. BTW, when we were there several years ago, the bottom of the bay was filled with crud,muck and mud. The vis. was terrible so, after several hours of 'searching', we went into the town and enjoyed the local adult beverages.

found this coin. Going to research the other finds before showing

Well, we've been hearing this for years and every expedition to his supposed resting place (in a lead coffin) off of Portobelo has been a failure so far. Please link the article if you can find it.

To be fair i only just noticed the 2011 date of the article. So your prop right and it could be the same story from before
