Another Spanish Galleon Found02/02/2009 |
| Tom Gidus of Gold Coast Explorations, a division of Wreckovery Salvage, reports his team has discovered a shipwreck off the east coast of Florida that dates to the early 17th century. Gidus and his team conducted a non-intrusive remote sensing survey using JW Fishers magnetometer and metal detectors in an area 14 miles off Indian River County. |

In the spot where the largest magnetic anomaly occurred divers confirmed there were several iron cannon lying partially covered on the seafloor and a large ballast pile. The team then followed a trail leading from the wreck site that extended over a half mile and produced another 300+ readings on the detectors. A total of 18 cannons were located between the main site and the end of the debris trail, confirming the ship had broken up slowly as it moved north with the current. A number of historic and valuable artifacts were located, and identified by the company archaeologist, including a large pewter bowl and several intact olive jars.
