It was recovered only about 100 yards off shore, in about 15 feet of water, south of Vero Beach. During this time Kip Wagner's Real Eight Company and Mel Fisher's divers worked the area. In May of 1964, Fisher and his divers discovered over 1,000 gold doubloons!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we acquired it, it was in \"as recovered\" condition.

Thirty years later, I used to dive on another \"Fleet\" shipwreck site near there starting in '89. My main job was to film and photograph the treasure being recovered. But when I wasn't filming I was searching for treasure on the bottom. It was a two hour boat ride to the site from our dock inside Sebastian Inlet. So on the days I had to head back to Key Largo where I lived, I would travel out on the boat in the morning and work most of the day, then swim the half-mile into shore with my gear to a car waiting with a friend to take me back home. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA diver's division is what a treasure diver received at the end of a diving season, \u003cstrong\u003eIF\u003c\/strong\u003e treasure was recovered.
