I wondered how long it would take to find its way over here.

Whoever wrote this lives in fantasy land. I could pick this apart sentence by sentence but its not worth the time. Do you think the likes of Sir Robert Marx or Duke Long (and others) would have abandoned this site if it had any potential. Hardly. The Juno wreck may prove a good training ground for a novice group to "cut teeth" but an all out concentration on this contract elusive Site #3 seems to be the real thing when and if it happens.

70 to 80 feet of water. What does that tell you? I think capted should weigh in here.

Hearsay from another board:

Looks like they have found the ballast pile of the Juno wreck. So says an archeologist familiar with the Juno wreck site. Not a material event so there will be no PR on it but I do consider this very promising information. When all the ballast stones drop out of the bottom of your ship, you don't go very far before you sink. Which means we shouldn't have very far to look at Juno.

Mel Fisher looked on the wrong side of the ballast pile for a long time and found nothing. When they went to the other side they immediately began finding treasure. If I was the Iron Maiden crew I would be figuring out where the boundaries of the pile are and searching the perimeters.

Wreck appears to be from first half of 1500s. Water deep enough that it would never have been salvaged. Early 1500s means treasure will still be in artifact form, not melted down bars or coins.

And just a comment. If this site was picked over so well over the last 30 years as some have said, why didn't the other crews ever find any ballast stones?



Has been circulating for a while now, the probabilities of locating a wreck at Juno are looking better and better.
Juno was a very large site, it has taken a while to narrow it down
