From Muse: Have you checked the legal issues? I’m pretty sure FL got very strict about treasure finds after Mel Fisher. I believe his group, still in existence, has the only contract with the State, and that any finds belong heavily to the FL.


THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION,- - -like the lost dutchman mine here in az IF someone found it[i believe it has been:you would be better off high grading it[mining it without laying a claim: then saying you found it,- - - the state would want to designate it as a HISTORICAL landmark, the environMENTALists would go absolutely APE[ and the only thing you would get from the whole experience would be 15min of fame and a place in the history book’s of how you found it but couldn’t mine it !



if you find it THEY WILL COME !!
