Walburn Drake Silver location in Southern California

[Daryl Friesen]

Hello,

Have any treasure hunters searched the location of the Sir Francis Drake Silver buried in Southern California. Drakes Cache was describe by a researcher named Richard Walburn in a article he wrote about the treasure called Lost harbour Found. Has anyone searched the location mentioned in this article?

Hope to talk to someone soon

Can't you do you're own research? There was no Drake treasure buried in Cal. Drake dumped 40 tons of silver overboard at Cano Island on the Pacific side of Central America. The island is still called today Isla de la Plata. (silver island) Before the dumping of the silver bars, Drake allowed his men to each take sixteen copper bowls full of silver COINS. Do you really think that amount of silver would amount to over 70 tons as Walburn claims? Get real.

Walburn Drake Silver Location

Hello,

I am not interested in debating with you about Walburns location.My concern is not whether the silver is in California or Central America. All I want to know is has anyone looked for Drakes Silver using Walburns Research? You dont know if it is or not until you have looked. Has anyone found Drakes silver near Cano Island or is this just based on you own research? Have you ever looked for it or has anyone else that you know of or is it just a theory on paper.

I am trying to find if anyone has taken any action regarding this location which has been floating around on the internet for sometime or how about the Aztec Depository in Utah has anyone searched for this location based on Walburns research? I am just trying to see if anyone has taken any of the Walburn Research to heart enough to actually go after the locations in the field.

Thanks

Daryl, there was a south American salvage team that located the dumped silver at Isla de la Plata in the 1930's. While using a dragline to pull up the bars, the drag broke, and I believe the barge sunk. (i don't remember) I did research for a Cal. salvage team back in the 1980's, but I don't believe they went after it I understand the area is under claim by a SA firm.
