Hidden loot lures divers
Treasure from Spanish ships sunk in 1715 still in sight
BY LINDA JUMP FLORIDA TODAY
SEBASTIAN - For most treasure hunters, 2006 was a so-so season, but it was one of the best in 35 years for Jeff Milne of Sebastian.
"On Aug. 11, one of our divers, Sean Duncan, found a one-and-a-half pound gold bar with tax stamps and markings valued at $20,000 to $25,000," Milne said.
The 61-year-old has been seeking treasure since 1971, driving from his home in Illinois to the Treasure Coast each summer, until he moved to Sebastian seven years ago.
The find was by the Corrigan's Wreck, south of Wabasso Beach, in Indian River County. While $25,000 sounds like a lot of treasure, it's relative compared with costs associated with the hunt. . . . .
