yes indeed thats a new find * -- I was at the recent state rules on salvage permitting hearings when taffi fisher came in and "announced" their find --- you should have seen the looks on the archies faces --you could have heard a pin drop for a couple seconds then the crowd of salvors there all cheered and hooted. --- you had to be there .
ah the famous 1% (a penny on the dollar *) --- a $1 on a 100 buck find -- 10 bucks on a 1,000 find --- 100 bucks on 10,000 find --- 1.,000 on a 100,000 find -- 10,000 on a 1,000,000 find -- the chalace if it fetches it full 1.2 mill (estiamated value) once sold would net the"new" kid diver $12,000 as his 1% share ( not bad for his first days work)---- a 100 million find would be worth 1 million at 1 % to the "finder" --- the salary is squat for salvage divers -- its the find some thing "bonus" money that lures em , thats where the real money is at.
althought they said nothing , I'm sure the "old hand" divers were ticked off that the "new blood" diver was brought in just as they were in the hot zone and that he snagged the big prize right out from under them .(since they had been putting their sweat and blood in it all season long)
since to earn $100 a day using the 1% system -- a diver needs to find $10,000 a day in goods on adverage. -- so to make it really worth while in the long haul -- you need to find a few big finds or a whole lot of smaller regular finds on a steady basis, or both.
