I just can't believe that WB would say something that blatantly nonsensical in print!

The original "visions of sugar plums" wreck that got us all to buy in spring of '06 was the El Salvador. Although the 'dots plot' done back then fluffed all of us up, the actual location of the El Sal wreck off the Carolinas has never been definitely found. BUT AT LEAST THE WRECK WAS WITHIN 20 MILES OF WHERE THE OLD DPBM WAS LOOKING. Never mind that Spain would've claimed anything found if anything *had* been found. We didn't know that when we bought in.

I have not seen the original posting / PR / whatever which contains the quotation about "...maybe the San Jose is one of those wrecks..."; but if he really said that, it appears to be the Mother of All (apparently-) Deliberate Misstatements.

Jeeezus..

IMO you dont know much. In the Kirby site there has been lots of artifacts found maybe not a treasure wreck but plenty enough ships debris to show a wreck is nearby. I would like to still be searching in that area. But I sort of had the wind knocked out of my sails when somebody who thought could make thier family members rich by planting a silver coin out on our site. I guess when the pps didnt rise. They quit and started blaming Wilf for thier families woes. It threw a wrench into my gear box after years of compiling data and mapping and diving all types of conditions in persuit of a dream. Working years for free and somebody plants a coin and its date is conflicting to all that i have accomplished and to all my theories. And the best part, knowing the coin was planted i still had to show it to the top archeologists in the area and to the head of the sanctuary to tell you the truth im embarrased to even be seen back at the Kirby site. Jazz69 your in the keys you have any info on how Wrecktom and those honest guys out on the ledge site are doing maybe there just secretly pulling up all those millions of dollars of treasure they were ranting on about all last year, Its almost a whole dive season behind us now but no word.HMMMM See if you can find out for us. I would love to hear about a success story. OK you know us were still just down here throwing money away and diving up pristine artifacts everyday. Hey you know somebody's got do it.
