[QUOTE="AKA_RedRimmed_Desert, post: 624065, member: 4527"] $5 gold piece. Must have been bedrock or hard bottom because, his brother Bruce went down with a PI detector, then fanned out the coins. First email got from them at the time, Bob called it a gold crack (crevice). Total coins 50 or so! Historical account of event, boat wrecked after caught fire with miners aboard, part broke off miners holding on, as it drifted away. What I was told, it often happened to be the coins, were hidden in suitcase full pokes rolled up inside carpet piece. A miner had an artist sketch the broken off part of boat with landscape background, it sank a far distance from the actual wreck site. Area between the shipwreck sites is where the suitcases were lost. [/QUOTE]
