Clausen, in chargeof the Florida treasure recovery program: "The Thanksgiving Day storm of 'eighty-four wasthe best beach cut we've had in twenty years," said retired Fort Piercelineman, John Durham.... "I got nine 8-escudo coins (valued then between$6,000 and $8,000 apiece) and nine other coins.... Even the wives walking alongwithout detectors were picking them up." This 3-charts-in-one publication was produced by author Robert F. Burgess ofSpyglass Publications. Based on Florida’s archaeological evidence itgraphically shows the locations of old shipwrecks, lists most of them by thename of the vessel, then describes the vessel and its cargo at the time of thesinking. Of special interest will be the locations of wrecks from the Spanishtreasure fleets of 1715 and 1733. These three combined nautical charts pinpointlocations of over 50 shipwrecks located in the easily reached shallow watersalong the Florida southeast coast. Included are true compass headings fromrecognized landmarks to assist in locating the wrecks. Instructions for easilychanging these true courses to compass courses are printed on the charts alongwith dive information, depths and conditions for each location. The computerized scatter patterns of found treasure also make this 3-in-1 charta must for beachcombers and coin-shooters. Printed on both sides of qualitybuff-colored paper 20 by 28 inches in size, the chart is suitable for framingand decorating the wall of your den, office or main salon of your boat." —Reprintedfrom TREASURE MAGAZINE "These shipwreck charts should be in everydiver's gear bag who expects to dive Florida waters." — SKINDIVER MAGAZINE Sorry, Continental United States only.
