Where a value of 2 or 4 billion dollars in treasure came from is obviously absurd. Considering the manifest registry, it would be stretching it to come to a value of twenty five million.
Take note that she was armed with 32 iron cannon. Of course as is often the case in these live or die circumstances, some may have been jettisoned which is extremely difficult task under the highly dangerous sea conditions.. So let me tell you folks, I've been on magnetometer surveys and know what iron cannons look like as a magnetic signature. One cannon even at a distance of 20 to 30 feet from sensor produces an anomaly of like 100 gammas, impossible to miss by a competent magnetometer operator. As has been the case with other 1715 shipwrecks, there should be cannons all over the bottom when in the actual shipwreck site. One cannon found in decades, and that found by Heartland. Get real. As I've always been saying. Flotsam rather obvious. But then that's only my humble opinion. But do not despair as Tinkerbell will find what isn't there.
