Welcome, Com1Diver.   Why would anyone deliberately hide a bunch of gold in a shipwreck ?  (Cache a hiding place, hence, the items hidden; the stores of provisions hidden by travellers or explorers on their journeys.)   Smiley

Seriously, there are several very good underwater metal detectors out there, many of which are discussed in our boards (use the search function at the top right corner of the page).   I'd stay away from dowsing.   Most people find it doesn't have a very good success to failure ratio.

I've been diving on WWII Wrecks and many others.  I found a very large ship where the US Navy had cut the bottom out of it around 1946.  The keel was exposed.  If there was gold on it, they got it. If the Japanese were trying to take it back to Japan, we sunk it.  Those items would be place at the bottom for ballast.  I've worked with a lot of different detectors.  They don't work well around steel.

Welcome from New Mexico!     Sounds like a Hands on Search to me.   Grin

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
