Mine lab 2000
I've got all the equipment top of the line my boats custom built for shallow waters up to 2ft to offshore, my 18" mailbox blows 12ft deep holes in 20ft of water. Full commercial dive gear no scuba so endless air, live color camera to TV feed on board, comms to diver, crane, Proton 4 Mag with newest upgrade with tablet gives you exact location of iron hits and size, I have a 30k tow fish side sonar scanner sees the bottom just like a picture live feed, aqua pulse detector, minelab 2, jw fisher pulse 8X. And way more gear, 20 years commercial diver, zero visibility and current don't effect me that's shit stops scuba divers which I am not. My area is not reseach where these things are located. Get me on a area and we ll find whatever is missing. Bringing it up not a problem. My boats out of pocket costs are less then 40.00 thats my lunch included. 500hp stroker motor boats a beast. Just want to go look for treasure. Contact me. Thanks

Not sure if you are aware or not...
But you cannot just "go look for treasure".
Florida State Law prohibits such activity within State Waters.

And if outside of State Waters... you then fall under other jurisdictions.

You cannot.... by law... disturb the bottoms of any submerged lands within State Jurisdictions... NOR can you remove or disturb any historical items or locations.
By definition anything 50 years of age or more is considered technically historical and therefore cannot be disturbed or removed.

I highly suggest you do your homework before embarking on such endeavors for you will find yourself in hot water ( and possibly jail) and any and all gear mentioned confiscated.
You can face serious consequences for any of the above mentioned infractions.

NOW... you can file with the State Archeology / Historical Resources Department for a permit to search.
 
I cannot help but notice when looking at your setups that you are geared up for sure.
I am not familiar with your make of boat... but the cabin seems to be in reverse of logical setup facing backwards with flat side fore ward.

Good to know. I'll claim it's cartel owned so I can keep it all. Muhaaaaa! Thank you Trump for letters of Mark against the cartel. Open game on them I'm claiming they sank treasures for drug smuggling. Ha! 😁🤣🤣🤣

Nope, it's a shamrock pilot house designed this way only difference I raised it 14" taller and made a back lift door. It's really nice, and it has AC in it. Screw Florida sun 8 stay cool when scanning the bottom. Tough boats

Hello Arc, or maybe fun wrecking internet Nazi with fun facts no one cares about. Just a heads up I own a Side Sonar scanning and salvage business. I can be out scanning for city cables, pipelines or whatever. Blow holes to locate 24" water mains to inspect them for overall conditions If they needs to be replaced. So no one taking a ounce of gear from me. I even use under water metal detectors to follow these cables or water mains. So no one can tell me I can't do shit out there. You know the answer to filing permits with Florida and how that works out. All good till you locate anything then no permit for excavation they steal the site. So probably stay in your lane let others have fun. You ever tried actually going out in the ocean to scan or look for anything? It's a damn miracle if you find anything with even top of the line gear out there. So try fun wrecking someone else's post. I want to save history not let it rot into the ocean lost forever. The adventure of trying with friends is the fun part. Doers and talkers out there! I can see you Do a lot of talking! No one cares Arc. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄👬👬👬👬👅👅👅👅🫶🫶🫶🫶💪💪💪💪💋☠️☠️☠️

Mmmm k ... heh

Just so you know... I was not trying to "wreck" your post... by telling YOU and THOSE THAT READ your thread / post THE RIGHT way of doing things concerning recovery / salvage on a PUBLIC metal detecting forum that has all types of possibly influential persons WHO might embark on similar endeavors.
Possibly resulting in a negative outcome for not only the persons concerned BUT for the metal detecting community AND OR the treasure recovery / salvage industry as a whole.

Your response exhibits and confirms your mindset of... "I don't give a crap about anyone else"

Merry Christmas and... Best of luck.
 
Actually I can tell you are that guy who calls the cops on some 12 year kids who ride their small dirt bikes 1 block in front of your house to get to the dirt trail to go riding. Same A hole being a nazi telling others what they can and cannot do. Bet your kids love that. Ha! So facts are facts permits won't get you anywhere with looking for a old wreck. Wait here sir give us money now you can go use a Scanner to look! Ok so if a dude is scanning for fish what's the difference fancy pants? Do tell? Love smart people telling others what they can and cannot do. Find a 50 year penny in the sand stop what you are doing call Florida state archaeologist. Get the hell out of here with that nonsense. I didn't say I'm going to known ship wreck that are salvaged or state owned or know where to go try to find anything did I? No I did not homo I said I have gear if someone has a idea of maybe something lost let's go look for fun. Fun idiot, the chances we find anything are 99% nothing found. But it's the adventure asshole and story to tell you tried. A crab pot gives you gut feelings you found a treasure box to laugh and see it's just a crab pot. You sir can hopefully find peace with God sooner then later because you won't be missed with your negative attitude fun wrecking opinions. Buhaaaa! 😝😝😝🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄👊👊👊👊
This is a family forum / website dude.

Also...
I tried to tread lightly with my response... and even was "nice" about it...
but I now see i cannot reason with ignorant stupidity.
 
Keep your negative opinions to yourself then right? I hate negative people who try to tell others what they can and cannot do in life. I won't remember you when you are gone. Because no one cares about people who put their opinions on a adventure and try to wreck it. Stay in your lane or move the hell over. Live life quit telling others how they shouldn't
No one told you to do OR not to do anything.
I merely pointed out the LAW and risks involved.. FOR YOU and for any other persons reading it.

YOU ARE NOT SCREWING UP CRAP FOR OTHERS WHO ACTUALLY ARE LEGAL PERMITTED SALVERS OR OTHERS WHO ARE SEEKING PERMITS...

By speaking about your "i am gonna do whatever i want and screw everyone else" attitude makes me sick.
Guys like you are problems in an already dying / hard to get in industry...
AND in life in general for that matter... and why laws like those mentioned are in place to begin with.

And on Christmas no less... and it was going so good up until this point too.
 
You truly might be one of the dumber people I've never met, do you know others do have permits to look fancy pants for etrcks

Clearly you are one of the dumber people I've never met, so my post says it all, boat, gear, fun let's go look. Someone who doesn't have a 100k in to gear but has dreams research for a wreck did the permit side but can't look because they don't have what I do. Here I am fag offering up fun and gear to go look. Did I say one time I will pillage, steal, take or ruin anything on any of these posts? I said I'd I'd like save a piece of history then let it rot. Please since you like to tell other what they should do tell me I said anything different? That's what I thought idiot. So funny you mention law enforcement since you know nothing about me. Buhaaaaa! Good thing I got that on my side and coast guard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕Next please on what I can and cannot do again? Still waiting for the laws I'm breaking since I've done nothing just offering gear and fun. We can call it beer can scanning and location for trash recovery. We can find trash pick it up. Got a problem with that to homo? You really are all worked up I've never done anything to break a law or tell others too. But you like to try to tell everyone what they can do. Make sure to tell someone I hurt your feelers on here. I'd say I'll see you out there but internet nazi keyboard warriors don't leave the house. Buhaaa! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
It was your attitude AFTER the fact that got me worked up.
Personally... I don't give 2 craps what you say to tell ya the truth... your credibility flew out the window the minute your responses came.

PS... Just so you know... and to rebuke your armchair theory...
I am PADI Advanced Diver (since age 12) side cert- Advanced Wreck Diver and since you spoke of The Coast Guard.
I am ALSO Coast Guard Certified.
And have been underwater since i could walk.
AND....
I have personally met and known people since childhood who were THE greatest to ever recover treasure and not "some treasure"... but some of the greatest treasures EVER to have been recovered in history.
So...
Save your opinions.

Tube suckers that's what we call you scuba divers, make sure in 20ft you got your dive computer, visibility 2ft abort the dive, surge abort the dive, out of air abort the dive. Blah blah blah, must know all those ones I hear about who did find treasure then blew it up their noses. Real winners there buddy. We can do big dick posts all day but in the end this is the most attention in years anyone's given you. And I appreciate you still can't see past your internet nazi keyboard warriorness. Haha! Remember whip your butthole then pull it forward through that vagina really try to get that shit in there so these dirty words coming out your mouth make sense. It's just a shitty vagina making your emotions raw! Buhaaaa
Again wrong.
I AM a compressor diver... I gave up tanks over 20 years ago.
