This is the first Gold Doubloon that I found. I found it when we were working on the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de las Nieves which sank in 1715. I was diving with Bob "Frogfoot" Weller. I saw the coin about the same time that I got a reading with the detector. Gold never tarnishes underwater and it was glittering brilliantly as I reached out for it. I showed it to Bob and then went up to the boat and It was a 2 Escudo dated 1704. It was the first dive and the first hole of the first day of the season.

MY LIFE CREEDS

Do not go meekly through life, only to arrive at death safely

 

Wherever I go,
everyone is a little bit safer because I am there.

Wherever I am,
anyone in need has a friend.
Whenever I return home,
everyone is happy I am there.
