That's a very nice sub you are getting there. If I had the funds, I would have gladly paid. Please take photos when you get it running.

[Kazzer]

Dun!

Thanks

I can go $600 for the Gato right now. Guess then I won't have to finish mine to go with the subdriver I'm buying. Still thinking about the other subdrivers you are selling.

You would think the treasure is the cool stuff till you get a eye on the bronze cannons. They go for 60 to100K with the crust and coral and the cleaned up ones more. Cannons, anyone? Be cool to have one in the TV room, mounted in a ships carrage, to plop your feet on watching the History Channel. I have a friend down here who casts, fun to shoot, fully functional black powder bronze replicas, any scale. Uses the real deal' down at Mel's museum, for some to pop the mold for a full size plug. There is a foundry up in Islamorada makes the sand mold and pours the bronze. He machine finishes and bores the castings, recycles the bronze shavings. Builds carrages for land and sea. Morters and signal cannons, as well as a 22 cal Gatling gun 1/4 scale that he is casting the parts for now. I want a 22cal 1/24 scale 88 mm deck gun. Dont ask where its going.

Spanish money. I cant give up the one with the emeralds from the Atocha The grand might pay for one emerald but I have several 8 reales ( pieces of eight) from the El Cazidore wreck in pristeen condition with cirtificates. These were minted in Mexico in 1783 and sent up to New Orleans in1784 by Spain for the Louisiana purchace. The ship went down in 1784 in 300ft of water just off the coast, With 800,000 of the 8 reales and several smaller denominations The money never got there and we bought Lousiana instead of Spain. Historicle artifact for sure. No prates involved. A friend of mine worked the wreck and recoverd quite a bit. These are condition grade fine , they average about 22 grams of silver each. these are valued around 4 to 5 hundred apicce Most of the coins recovered were not in as good shape as they were older coins. Average grade of a 2 or 3 usually go for around a hundred twenty to fifty each. One 8 reales from the Atocha grade 2 usually sells for around a thousand but she went down in 1622 so the coins are a little older

Ok! I'm open to offers! Hit me with a number, but just remember HWSNBN is watching, so don't **** him off! :-)

The boat is in great overall condition, few marks on the hull, painted by Mr. Merriman.

I don't have a sub-driver for it, but this gives you a change to go for the 2.4ghz dynamic diver or the SAS System.

$900 takes the model.

[Kazzer]

Good grief! I'm a tosser! Haven't looked here in a while, posted stuff, then left it in the lurch. I must have contracted something from HWSNBN.

Well, sorry folks.

Update

Skipjack is sold.

Gato - at the advise of HWSNBN is $1500. Comes with HWSNBN wooden carrying box, and Sub-driver.
