Gold, Silver Coin, Emerald Cross

I took these photos in Key West a couple of weeks ago. These items were found a few years back, in 50 feet of water, offshore Key West, by a scuba diver named Mel.

Thank you Steve for the link. I had the Gold Chalice about 1 foot in front of my eyeballs about a week ago. I am facinated by where things like this have been in the past.

As soon as he said be a diver named Mel, it was a dead give away.

Lee,

Very cool! I really enjoy Key West and actually have sub-contracted on the 1715 fleet with the Fishers.

I am not too far down the road from you in Beaufort.
