    Get a drone with a submersible metal detection system. I can make one easily for my drone.

    Why wait for the waters to go down instead of just diving off the shores? I do not think if found in open waters and collected the state would get any or eligible however if it’s found on land after the water levels go down then of course the state would.

    He probably shouldn’t have told the news about it 😂

    Why would you go on the Nightly News and tell everybody? Doesn’t matter, pirates didn’t bury their treasure, they spent it just as fast as they got it.

    Or could be a rock.

    Let me guess, he’s got a small tavern there by the shore and want everyone to stop in at happy hour??

    How does this retired air conditioning contractor have any scientific or historical knowledge to claim those markings mean there’s a treasure hidden there. This sounds like something a little kid would say.

    Why th would he tell everyone and their dog lmao. He ain’t all there is he

    Sorry but State waters extend 3 miles from the shoreline. Even if it was real it belongs to the State of Florida. But their pretty reasonable about armatures Treasure hunters taking their money. Enjoy, I’ll be bidding on your equipment at the States next confiscated items Auction
