http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...a4600/4325649/ I think tornados are more a real threat than nuclear destruction at this time.

I touched a big chunk of this gold at the Mel Fischer Museum! Also while in Key west, while visiting the Montello fort, met a guy who had worked for Mel before the treasure was located. Since the results up to that point had been nil, this guy, "Gibby", had quit and left the Keys. He said the day before they left, Mel drove up in his old Cadillac. "Let me show you something." Mel opened the trunk, to reveal the anchor! Too bad this guy "jumped ship" when he did... The anchor demonstrated that they were looking in the right place, and the remainder was located soon thereafter! Gibby did not get a cut of the booty.

I represented of the divers and this was my fee! King Phillip IV, 1690 with counter stamp, Potosi mint, Bolivia,The counter stamp was added when King Phillip discovered some were less weight and executed his assayer. They had to be correct weight and those the passed were restruck was this counter stamp in the middle of the reverse. The little round circle in the middle. It was rare to find one with a crack pass inspection. The only one I'v seen that made it by the inspectors with a large crack. The Spanish were perfectionist!

Maybe Gibby was a big liar!? (I've heard that some people do that.) It might just be my memory... I wondered about that, too, whether the anchor could fit into a trunk, even a Caddie's. I knew someone who had an old Cadillac limo that they transported mini horses in...
