Yes you are correct but read that carefully. "The Nuestra Señora de Concepcion carried gold coins and gold bars as well as a number of chests of silver coins". You might want to note that when DeBry wrote this article he drew from the Bibliography's listed at the bottom of that article. I don't know which one but I do recall that in either "Florida's golden Galleons" by Robert Burgess & Carl Clausen or "Golden Galleons, and Archaeology" by Burgess and Clausen again, what the 1715 Concepcion was carrying was cited. Furthermore, some time in the past I had seen a copy of this which was in Duke Long's possession which was provided by the researcher Jack Haskins. I am not disputing whether or not this Concepcion was carrying treasure as DeBry actually wrote but it wasn't very much.

When I refer to AGI references as in my past posting, that means the specific Legajo (document bundle) in the Archivo General de Indias. When a researcher provides that then there's no nonsense. As I stated before, possibly I just don't know and there were in fact two Concepcions in the fleet loss. I only know that the one I'm focusing on wasn't carrying very much treasure at all. With a company researcher like DeBry, I'm sure he can easily produce the translated treasure manifest (which isn't much) and the AGI source, and make everybody happy. My apologies if I'm wrong.
