Here we go with a whole lot of nonsense again. So let me provide some facts.
As per the research, the ship grounded (hit a sand bank, shoal, or reef) and broke apart. Now you want to believe that these fantasy land pie in the sky estimates of 'billions of dollars' worth of treasure just went bobbing along for miles contained in a broken off stern castle. Do you realize that wold represent tons and tons of treasure? The hundreds of silver bars and dozens of coin chests were stored below the waterline down in the hold on top of the ballast. Yes, there was usually a treasure room in the stern but that was for lighter weight chests of valuables. The 1715 'Concepcion' didn't carry tons and tons of treasure which is validated in the actual manifest. If you can post anything that factually contradicts that, I'll stand corrected.
Even a stern castle wasn't put together with rubber bands and bubble gum. There were many large spikes and pin rod fasteners, deck rings, and don't forget the multiple port and starboard 'iron' deadeye straps supporting the rigging that held up the mizzen mast (on the stern). Even these ferro-magnetic targets (without the presence of iron cannons) are readily recognizable on a properly performed cesium magnetometer survey. The excuse of no magnetism doesn't wash.
So, its August 11th, sea conditions are very good but where's the shipwreck, even where's the so called stern castle and, most of all, where are the tons, and tons of treasure? Wonder if the Tinker Toy is tinking? Even if it is, there must be high expectations of having it produce what isn't there. Seems to be a lot of silence these days.
