Please read again, perhaps more carefully. I clearly acknowledge the fact that cannons were recovered for scrap value during WWII. I also did not state they're necessarily all stacked on a pile. I've been on magnetometer surveys where we found iron cannons scattered and associated with a debris trail. I don't know that you have. So try and read again as it might be helpful.

True, particularly during WWII, iron cannons were recovered from various wreck sites for scrap value. Cannons were also picked up occasionally by divers and sold sometimes to restaurants for outside display. That usually happened when the cannons were visible from the surface meaning shallow water, calm sea and clear visibility. The 1715 Concepcion (according to Rob Westrick, marine archaeologist, researcher, writer) carried 32 iron cannon. Numerous posters here have carried the excuse numerous times that the SFRX divers have such a difficult time finding anything because the water is + or - forty feet deep, there's constantly poor visibility and everything buried under the mud bottom. So you tell me, under those conditions how anyone would have previously seen and picked up canons? Let me tell you from experience that when one does a magnetometer survey over a ballast pile or actual debris trail containing iron cannons, the mag. practically sings out the Spanish anthem, the anomalies are so well pronounced. The obvious is, at least to me, the actual wreck site is not in the area or there would be large anomalies all over the place. There aren't are they?

If you got it this time, its pretty obvious SFRX isn't actually on the wreck site. My opinion but then what do I know?
