I remember the day Taz Tammy Robyn and me found a very old metal bowl at what we call the Kirby Site.
I know that dosent sound to exciting but we were. Taz and I stayed late that night to come up with a grid.
That night I felt we had a great team. And we were on to something. And I do believe in kharma, good
things happens to good people. The next day Wilf asked us to give him the office that afternoon so he could meet privately with someone. When I was leaving I seen ED driving by? I found out later the meeting was between ED Wilf Randall & Libre and that they had a wreck in deep water.
I asked what cut would Ed be getting of course what ever percent he would be getting would be coming out of my percentage. When Wilf told me he only wanted a metal detector for his son made me wonder right away what is this really about?
I have never met anyone more arrogant than this Randall guy and Libre was quiet but still they never let me get close to what they were doing. All of a sudden we were catering to there every needs we Taz Tammy Robyn and I were now taking care of these guys and not focusing on what we had.
I know this was the beginning of the end for Taz & Tammy they quit soon after the arrival of these guys. But Randall & Libre needed all kinds of high tech dive equipment they had to have under water scooters not just any scooter but ones custom made and costing $3500. A piece. Randall needed a place to stay so Wilf handed them more money to get a place. I was still trying to keep focused on our project and dove as often as I could. The only way for these people to find their wreck site is if I drove them? One day they took a faster boat and went off ahead of us but when I got there they were not there they were actually three miles away. I thought that was odd their site was only a half a mile from the channel marker. They said they have been diving here for years and they could not find the wreck?
First the wreck was suppose to be in deep water 200ft it was after we showed them our boundary did they finely show me on the chart were their wreck was but now the depth changed to 117ft that’s a big difference when it comes to diving. IHAD TO DRIVE A MILE SOUTH TO GET TO 200FT. And just a gradual slope no “ledge”.
I told them one day that I wouldn’t say anything if they wanted me to help them in their scam. Randall’s answer was good I knew I could count on you. That’s when I informed John Halas Kenny Rose our archeologist Bob Baer and Wilf.
We were onto them now but guess who was on their way? Men’s Journal Magazine but we took them out there anyway a magazine with over a million subscribers what would that do for the pps.
So with cameras flashing and these guys with enough equipment to dive on the Titanic they brought up a porclain bowl what great pictures we had and the journalist was happy about this story I was happy to be in a magazine everything was perfect.
The one thing though was the bowl they found that day was identical to the one ED posted on ihub. No doubt about it the exact same bowl posted weeks earlier?
We had no choice but to call the magazine and cancel the whole article
We never got our scooters back from these guys. Wilf said you step on crap you throw away the shoe. I think it was my conversation alone with John Halas that stopped this from going to a law enforcement issue.
I know a lot of people that would have loved to see these people in jail over this. Including myself but I knew what a black eye this would give the treasure hunting community.
This company lost a lot of money and time and Taz & Tammy and trust over this. Sorry Ed you put me on the defensive side all morning. “Tag your it” your turn.
