I think I mentioned in one post recently that the salvage crews on the Treasure Coast were doing better than any year going way back to the eighties. Here is what I was talking about.

I had to hold onto the pictures until they were released. Now I'm able to show them.

Brent Brisben, co-founder of 1715 Fleet Queens Jewels LLC, showed some of the finds on CBS News this morning.  Congratulations Brent!

Can you imagine how excited the divers were when they saw the glitter of gold on the bottom.

I remember when I got the picture of all the musket balls.  I thought, they are close.  I was right.

You can see all denominations in there.  And look at the big 8-escudos and Royals.

Captain Jonah picked the hot spot.  Way to go Captain!

Thanks to Captain Martinez for sharing the pictures, and congratulations to the crew and all who were lucky enough to play a part in this great find!
