A Golden Story Buried at the Bottom of the Ocean
Published by Morrison C. on 09/16/21
In 1988 I was living on Grand Bahamas Island. For my twenty fourth Birthday my dad bought me a Whites metal detector. I was walking on the beach. I got a strong signal and dug up a green looking metal, then another one, and another one, in total I found 16. I noticed some round smooth rocks laying everywhere. I picked up a few and took them and the metal to my dad. I showed him the rocks. He cleaned off one metal object and it was a 1714 Spanish 8 reale. My dad asked me where I found them. The next day I took him out to where I found the coins. He said the rocks are from a ship. He dove out into 12 feet of water and found it. We removed 5 million dollars worth of gold and silver. The Spanish government took 75% of the finds. We are sure there is still more out there. He never went back to the location. For my fiftieth birthday my wife had this necklace made out of one of the coins I found. The gold is from rings I found over the years. The diamonds are from my mothers wedding ring. She passed away January 19, 2011. Dad passed away January 5, 2021. I have all the documents and pictures to back this story up. Feel free to contact me.
