Anclote Key update…

During our last visit at Anclote River Park we had lowered the sensitivity level to 70% which eliminated most of small objects. We received a strong hit at about 5-8 ft deep near the Spanish well.

Capt Joe went back the following weekend with a 9 ft steel rod. He got it down to 6 1/2 feet and hit something hard. He began to pound it with a sledge until it went another 6 inches down. He said it felt like it went through something. They had to pound the rod to get it out. He hit the rod into the ground about 1 foot away from the original target, and it hit something again at around 7 ft.

The tree roots are too far from this location, so it might be possible we might have hit something. We are currently waiting on the county for the date to excavate.

We will keep you posted as we get closer…

Change of plans…

We are going to put the jewelry vault on hold. The team has decided to go back and revisit the Peace River location.

We believe this location fits the description that we were told of where the treasure should be.

One source had given us a contract that was a treasure trove agreement between a general contractor and treasure hunter. The agreement said that if any treasure was found on that property during development that they would split it.

Another source from the family that originally found it, stated that there was green dirt, and just under the dirt they found it. We have been up and down all of Peace River, and this has been the only location where we have seen it.

The third source was from a remote viewer that gave us locations on a map of where there is buried treasure.

So the question is how did the remote viewer know this was one of the locations? There happens to be a marked tree near by, which was seen in the episode on Expedition Unknown. So we know this location is of significance.

We are going back to see if there is anything actual there.

Stay tuned for upcoming episode!

The Jewelry Vault

We have scheduled our next adventure. Our team will be visiting the actual location of the vault.

We had located a map and articles that point us to a specific location. This location use to be a pond infested with water moccasins. It is now dried up.

The treasure took 30 men to dig and bury the jewelry vault. We should find a layer of rocks siting over it. In the 70’s an historian and treasure hunter went there when the pond was still full of water. They had seen holes around the pond from people trying to find it. They came back with heavy equipment only to find no trespassing signs. Years later the land was purchased by the State. No one has been back to uncover it.

Next weekend we will be teaming up with Captain Joe who has been working on finding the treasure of pirate Aury. On this adventure we decipher Louis-Michel Aury’s treasure location. Based on information we have gathered through research and Captain Joe, we have possibly located X marks the spot of Pirate Aury treasure trove.

After we have done our extensive research, everything we have found pointed us to Panther Key.   We visit Panther Key and we begin to search for any signs of Gasparilla as well as his fortune.

As we comb through the area we come across grey rocks with oyster shells that are laid out from about 10 feet long to 4 feet wide.   Nowhere else on the island did we find these types of rocks and shells.

What do we believe???

Finding most books and news articles that say Juan Gomez was buried in Panther Key, doesn't really prove that he is buried there.   Knowing that Juan Gomez was married to Sarah during that time, that she might have been the one to help bury him on the island.   Sarah was full blooded indian as far as we know which is why there would have been oyster shells mixed in with the gray rocks.   Neither the gray rocks or oyster shells were found anywhere else on the island.   

We have known of previous hermits that resided on Panther Key after Juan Gomez, but none of them were indian or would have been buried there.

Have we found the infamous Gasparilla's grave???  We don't want to say we are 100%, but we will believe that it is very possible that it is his grave.
