In 1987 Dominic Addario, a boat tour operator, received information from a couple of surfers who had reported seeing a half buried cannon near modern day Jupiter Inlet on the east coast of Florida.

Flash forward to 2012, Addario no longer runs boat tours, he’s in the treasure recovery business. Addario and his team known as Jupiter Wreck Inc. have been working this site for the past 25 years. They’ve recovered masses of silver and gold coins that date between 1652 and 1659.

"There is no question in our minds it is a Spanish ship," stated Addario in an article on the Buisness News Daily Website ( http://www.businessnewsdaily.com) On Jupiter Wreck Inc’s. own website (http://jupitercoins.com/index.html) they’ve gone one step further, hinting that this shipwreck is quite possibly the San Miguel Archangel.

The San Miguel Archangel sank in 1659 after taking a beating from hurricane force winds and 30 foot waves. She was Spain’s economic hope and rumored to carry the personal fortune of the Count of Salvatierra.

The wreck site is in 10 foot of water and is no further from shore than a toss of a tennis balls “If you had a tennis ball from the shore line, you could pop it right out into this area. It’s right there” said Jeff Gehring of Jupiter Wreck Inc during an interview with Fox 29 Eye On South Florida. You can view the video of this interview at Jupiter’s website.

The site has produced canons, cannon balls, muskets and of course thousands of coins. Besides the afore mentioned artifacts and coins, Jupiter has also recovered a78 pound silver bar. Dismissing the historical and or collector value of this bar and solely focusing on the silver value, the some of the value is nearly $40,000.00 US Dollars.

With all the silver and gold and military history recovered from the site Addario points to a square piece of lead inscribed with the date 1659 as the most intriguing piece recovered thus far. “Some sailor had taken his knife and scribed the date 1659 and that’s the date we think this shipwreck sank. ” said Addario during the same Fox 29 Eye On South Florida interview.

“There is still about 2/3’s to ¾’s of the shipwreck yet to still be discovered” stated Addario in the September 2011 issue of Lost Treasure Magazine. Jupiter Wreck Inc has been granted custodial rights to the site; however the same court has limited their recovery process by allowing the state of Florida to restrict Jupiter from using any machinery to aid in uncovering the shipwreck. This injunction is problematic as Addario believes the main portion of the wreck is covered by 45 feet of sand. "There is still so much more to explore," stated Addario in the fore mentioned article on the Buisness News Daily .

Furness Abbey Discovery

Archeologist have discovered an undisturbed grave of a medieval abbott at Furness Abbey. The skeletal remains of the abbott still held his staff of office and bore his ecclesiastical ring. The staff, or cozier is gilded copper and the ring is gilded silver with a clear gem or crystal.

Hoard of Silver Roman Denari Found With a Metal Detector

Mick Wilson of Colne, England and his longtime hunting partner Colin Bines were metal detecting a field near Hebden when buried just 9 inches under his feet, Wislon made the discovery of his life. 

“I do a lot of detecting in the Yorkshire Dales,” Mr. Wilson told the Cravin Herald.  “Colin and I have been doing this for a long time, and although we always find something, this was my best find ever.” 

What did Wilson find?  Well he found a hoard of 33 silver Roman Denari.  These coins are considered to be rare and Wilson estimates there value to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000.00 - 5000.00 GBP.

“A lot of people call us treasure hunters, but many people never find a treasure. However, I do know people who have found items valued from £20,000 to £1 million. But you have more chances of winning the lottery than making such a find.” Wilson said to the Cravin Herald.

Well that’s all for now.  As always, thank you for your continued support and happy hunting!

FontanaNissan and Riverside Used Cars

Both > Fontana Nissan and Riverside used cars offer a great selection of Nissan models and are really nice dealerships to visit. The dealership in Fontana is a wonderful car dealership and will make sure you get the very best, and the dealership in Riverside is a growing car dealership ready to sell you your new Nissan. I really liked the atmosphere when I walked into the dealership in Fontana. Everyone seemed to know exactly what they were doing and the employees really seemed interested in helping me. Whether I was just part of their commission or not did not occur to me since I was enjoying myself as well. I am a big car enthusiast and a fan of Nissan. So whenever I go into any Nissan dealership I am pretty much in heaven. I can talk to any sales-person I want and I already know all the details. Sometimes I am even able to tell the employees some unknown facts about the models. I have a genuine interest in cars and always have since I was a kid. I guess I got into Nissan after riding in one of my friend's Nissan Altimas. That was pretty much the point where I realized how much magic and love (and hard manual labor) was put into making these cars. I started really paying attention to the commericals on television whenever they would pop up, and when that was not enough or when I needed more pictures I would go online and research specific models. I was absolutely enthralled with how much detail was put into making these cars and if I had been handy enough, I would have simply become a mechanic. But I was terribly clumsy (luckily not driving wise) and horrible with tools, so I stuck to researching and admiring. Every Nissan dealership that I have visited has always welcomed me with open arms, and although I would probably be a great sales-person for them, a hobby is much more fun when it's not depended on to make money.
