1715 Fleet
300th Anniversary

On the exact shores where the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet met its fate, I was there—detector in hand—on the historic 300th anniversary. These photos capture the unforgettable moment coins from the wreck were uncovered, right on the beach. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m proud to share these images documenting the day history resurfaced.
