Here are two important diagnostic artifacts from the Melbourne wreck that suggest the wreck was part of the 1715 Fleet and possibly being from the Conception.


Pistol Showing Name Ramirez and Date of 1709.

Both photos are from The Melbourne Beach Shipwreck: A Missing 1715 Fleet Vessel, by Dr. Robert H. Baer, Professional Archaeologist, Seafarer Exploration Corporation.

Here is the link to the complete report.

You will find much more in that report that you will want to see.  Maybe I shouldn't have posted it right after the link to the Mel Fisher Research Archives, which can keep you busy for quite a while.

I'll add this link to my reference list too.

A Las Vegas coin collector has received a record $13.35 million for three rare U.S. coins originally worth a face value of $1.15...

“The PCGS Price Guide estimated the combined value of the ‘Big Three’ at $10.85 million, but I happily paid 23 percent more, $13.35 million, for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the Holy Trinity all at one time. Each of the three coins set a new record price,” Russell said.

Before Morelan’s and Russell’s acquisitions of the 1804 dollar, 1894 San Francisco dime, and 1913 Liberty Head nickel, only a few other collectors are known to have owned examples of all three. They included the late owner of the Los Angeles Lakers Jerry Buss (1933-2013) and the late Baltimore financier Louis E. Eliasberg Sr. (1896-1976)...

Only a one or two foot surf on the Treasure Coast today.  

We are having some bigger high tides.  Too bad the surf isn't bigger.

Happy hunting,
