It is all quite simple to understand. No, magnetometers don 't show gold and silver. All shipwrecks have ferro-magnetic content. Magnetometers find shipwrecks plain and simple based on ferro-magnetic content. All major Spanish Galleon discoveries; (Texas Antiquity Commission) 1554 Padre Island wrecks. (Fisher) 1622 Atocha & Margarita, (Webber) 1641 Concepcion & 1725 'N.S. Begona. (Bowden/Taylor) 1725 Conde Tolosa. (Marx) 1656 Maravillas. Many of the 1715 and 1733 shipwrecks. Once these sites were discovered, divers used ferrous / non-ferrous underwater metal detectors (some analytical) and thus found the gold and silver.
So now focusing on the SeaSearcher. How many Spanish Colonial period shipwrecks has it found? How much gold and silver is it actually, factually credited as finding? So now SFRX says the Juno wreck has large recognizable targets of gold and silver under the solidified worm poop - because SeaSearcher determined that. Instrumentation that has not been proven to have found anything but Reynold's and Kennedy say so, both of whom have never found treasure. Furthermore this is all on a wreck site with no cannons, a site explored and to some extent worked by notables such as Robert Marx, David Foster, Duke Long and some others.
Back to what I've previously said. This has obviously been a fantastic profitable hot air balloon ride (congratulation to all participants) but now the proof of it all is in the actual dig (excavation). So when does the talk stop and the action begin? Good luck.
