Speaking of Groundhog Day, this gem of…….
a thread on Groundhog Day 2012 really showed off your salvage law knowledge, or lack thereof.
Off the Spanish coast.
Navy vessel sunk in naval battle.
These two characteristics make this treasure totally different from the Seafarer treasure. So none of this article applies to Seafarer.
Of course it was followed up with this the following day with this masterpiece.
Naval vessels located in international waters are legally different. All cases brought by Spain to claim rights for treasure found on coasts of Florida were won by the salvage companies that found them.
Mel Fisher spent a lot of time in court because of the deep water international water treasure he sought.
It's not guessing, it's the law and history.

What wreck in Florida waters did Spain make a legal claim to?
Take your time.
Since SFRX still deals with Florida why not challenge the state’s claim to shipwrecks? There is precedent.
Fourth Circuit Declares Spain as Owner
Under the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 (ASA), a state acquires title to all abandoned vessels embedded within its submerged lands. In defining the term abandoned, the ASA merely provides that abandonment occurs the moment an owner relinquishes its rights to a sunken vessel. On appeal to the Fourth Circuit, Virginia and Sea Hunt argued that the ASA's definition of abandonment should permit a court to imply abandonment where a sovereign fails to declare its ownership in a timely manner. The Fourth Circuit disagreed, holding that, as under admiralty law, a sovereign owner appearing before a court to assert its ownership to a shipwreck retains title to the vessel unless an express and affirmative declaration of abandonment is proven.

Overall these conditions are workable for professionals. Can't salvage treasure that isn' there.

The Juno Tales from the Tulco years ~ Part 1............
This is a collection of the Ad Agency comments during SFRX's previous operations at the Juno site, which is now called the JBAS. These are some that stand out from 2010, but I am still reading through them in an attempt to understand why folks are still holding out hope. Part Deux coming soon.
Notice how CONfident this Ad Agency team member seems to be. Just as CONfident as he was that treasure would be found this past summer.
The estimates I've heard are $500 million to $1 billion but noone knows until they get in there. There's around 300 million shares so if it does come in around $500 million this is over $1/share. But I'd guess this will fly on speculation alone once they announce they are commencing excavation.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=47987116
You might have time. I am thinking they may have some sort of announcement next week. My opinion is that it's at least $.04-05 by the end of April and it would not surprise me to be much higher than that even before then. If they announce the time frame to start moving sand and it's picked up by the national media and not just the financial wires it could do some wild things. You know most everyone loves a treasure hunting story.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=48001974
Hang in there....we are finally close to finding out what's under there.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=48285210
At any rate we are sitting right on top of this treasure wise and stock increase wise.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=50134296
Also there were 10 of these size ships that never made it back to Spain so I don't think it's going to be a long time into this before they come up with the name of it. I'm not a historian but I will bet there's documentation on the 10 ships and what they carried and I'm sure the company has researched those cargos so in my mind, percentage wise, there has to be a high probability of treasure for Seafarer to push on like this over the years. Otherwise they would have moved on to other potential projects.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=51381015
I firmly believe the D.R. deal with Anchor is a done deal that we will hear about very soon. I believe they have a target site to start with there but what they think they will bring up I do not know. As for Sidkay, it is a bonus to shareholders once they get it done. Not sure what it's worth though but it is designed to enhance shareholder value which is hard to complain about. You are right, SFRX has stated they do not want to be viewed as a one trick pony and it seems they are moving in that direction. With the stock here at $.008 there's money to be made imo. I'll be watching for news releases the next couple of weeks.
