Only five have been recovered to date, and they were recovered in 45 feet. I can't post too much about this because of negotiations with the gov't.

You've seen the cannons, now you will see what they were protecting. The silver bar at the top is about 12#, and obviously has not been cleaned, so we don't know about mint marks or assayer marks. The coins are all Spanish silver reales, and their dates range from mid 1600's to 1702.
Now comes the pitch. We are in need of venture capital to finish this off. We do not need a salvage company, or divers, or boats or equipment. We just need the financier. Anyone able to help us will become a partner in the venture. This is not a U.S. jurisdiction project, so meticulous details need to be addressed. Those who know me, know that I am a professional, and have been doing this for well over 40 years. Contacts can be made via PM or email, and not on an open forum.
