January 1965 Issue of Argosy Magazine Containing Story of Bruce Ward's Treasure
Submitted by JaminJackUSA.

If you are interested in the history of treasure hunting on the Treasure Coast you might want to find a library copy of the January 1965 issue of Argosy Magazine.
Several days ago I posted a nice four-reale that was purchased by JaminJack from the estate auction of Bruce Ward. Jack sent me a copy of the Argosy article as background on the adventures of Mr. Ward. The article describes Ward's big find, which was made in 1964, early in the history of modern Treasure Coast treasure salvage, and at a time when the Real Eight Corporation and a variety of other smaller and less documented treasure hunters were working along the Treasure Coast. This is the type of article that no Treasure Coast treasure hunter will want to miss.

Bruce accumulated a lot of treasure, which he did not sell because he planned to make start a museum.
Here is a photo of a homemade dive platform that he created and used until he upgraded.
And here is his salvage boat, the DeeGee.

Thanks JaminJack.

I was working in the yard this morning when I noticed that the wind had changed direction. It is now coming more from the north, and it feels like a bit of a cool front came through, so it was not surprised when I looked at the surf predictions and saw that the surf will be increasing.

Looks like maybe up to a ten feet surf by Wednesday. And some north winds before that.
That is a big enough surf to move some sand. I just wish the wind kept coming from a northerly direction for a longer time.
Happy hunting,
