Frogfoot's Summer Seminars 2007 (As told by Ernie Richards) If shown in black and white, the setting would have seemed like a scene from some Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet movie, taking place in some sweltering Saharan gin mill, complete with a large-bladed overhead fan. But it was in living color, and it was the exotic Weller’s Cove location of Frogfoot’s “outdoor classroom on the dock” in Lake Worth, Florida. Although Monday morning’s temperature was already in the 80s by 0830, the shade of the gazebo-come-school house and the gentle breeze off the cool post-dawn waters made living in this miniature slice of paradise quite tolerable. And the subject of the morning’s lecture opener —sunken treasure— made everyone forget any possible discomfort. The “staff” of hostess Margaret Weller, her son Rob Weller, and the kitchen team of “Las Dos Anas” had already served piping-hot and strong coffee, fresh fruit juices, and assorted pastries to the ten eager “students” in attendance; it was time to dig into the plan-of-the-day. Frogfoot opened the session with a call for self-introductions by each person in the class. He then dived into the details of “Salvaging Spanish Sunken Treasure” with his usual enthusiasm for the subject. Around noon, the attendees and the day’s lecturers gathered on the open and canopied deck at the rear of Casa Weller and were treated to delicious ground-sirloin burgers, garnished as you like ‘em, fruit juices, salad, and key lime ice cream. More of that special coffee was available to those of us who thrive on caffeine, and some great, animated conversations ensued. All good things must come to an end, and the “students” adjourned to the G(old)-rated and air-conditioned “theater room” for a lecture delivered by archaeologist Jim Sinclair, who was the chief conservator during the entire Atocha Project in Key West. Using a Power-Point presentation, Jim held everyone in his grasp as he related, first, the *Atocha* story as told by an insider and, then, a discussion of his association with the *Titanic* recoveries, for which he served as archaeologist. In a mere blink of an eye, his two-hour presentation was, sadly, over. Sinclair is a very knowledgeable scientist … and a glib and entertaining speaker. After a 15-minute break to stretch one’s limbs, grab a refreshing drink, and visit the “sand box” (the Weller manse is home to several felines), back to the theater we went for a two-part presentation about Spanish treasure coins and silver bars, delivered by Ernie “SeaScribe” Richards. Ernie opened his presentation with words to the effect that the class had been told where to find treasures, how to recover them, the rules and regulations (especially in Florida) pertaining to such endeavors … and that it was his duty to introduce the class to what it was they should be searching for “out there under the ocean:” coins and ingots. He instructed the attendees in the details to be seen on the silver coins found by the thousands on the Atocha sites in the Keys, then the silver and gold coins retrieved from the several wrecks of the 1715 Spanish silver fleet on Florida’s east coast were described. Margaret “Lady Gold-Diver” Weller stepped in for a few minutes to tell how she found that super 1711 Mexican four-escudo gold “royal” on the “Gold Wreck.” After a short break, Richards continued with a digital slide-accented discussion of one of the approximately 1,000 80-pound loaves of silver recovered from the Atocha’s “main pile.” When the lectures and Q & A sessions were over, the general discussion turned to “sea stories” about treasure diving and SCUBA diving in general, much to the enjoyment of those involved in this exchange. Tuesday, 26 June 2007. < style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> Bright and shiny Tuesday, Frogfoot and son Rob, led a car-a-van northward toward Sebastian Inlet on Florida’s east coast —the area known as the “Treasure Coast.” The general itinerary, while returning southward, included stops on the Atlantic shore opposite the sites of the 1715 wrecks known locally as the “Cabin Wreck”… “Corrigan’s Wreck” … the “Rio Mar Wreck” … the “Sandy Point Wreck” … the “Wedge Wreck” … and the “Gold Beach Wreck” —where literally tons of silver coins were recovered from the stricken fleet in modern times, and where Weller told the class of each ship’s break-up and subsequent salvage operations. The “beach tour” was spiced up with stops at the Mel Fisher Center (museum and conservation lab) in Sebastian, Captain Hiram’s for lunch, Mel Fisher’s home in the 1960s and the state-owned McLarty Treasure Museum, both in Vero Beach. Wednesday, 27 June 2007. Back to the class-room. Due to unexpected construction noise from nearby I-95, the morning instructional session was transferred from the gazebo-on-the-dock to the front room “museum” of Casa Weller, where Carl Ward began his program. Carl is a long-time friend of the Wellers and Richardses and was an important figure in the recoveries made on the 1733 Spanish silver fleet wrecks in the Keys during the 1960s … most specifically the wreck called El Populo. He is a retired Miami policeman, who also served as “bodyguard to the stars” … some of whom were Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, and Diana Ross.	Frogfoot Seminars 2007 Slide Show (Fotos by: Jeff Moore, Ernie Richards & Rob Weller) In round-table format, Ward told of the salvage operations with which he was associated, bringing part of his collection as a hands-on treat for the seminar attendees. During all presentations, the other instructors of the day also sat in as students (also learning from these sessions). For Carl’s class, he had Dr. Eugene Lyon, Bill Mathers, Hank Parker, Margaret and Rob Weller, and Ernie Richards in attendance. The “oohs” and “ahas” of recognition from these seasoned historians and divers as they examined his relics brought broad smiles from Carl. [That’s Stan Dilcher wearing his PLVS VLTRA cap.] Breaking for lunch around noon, we were once again treated to a succulent feast. This time, barbecued ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, heart-of-palm and mango salad with lime and dijon mustard vinaigrette dressing, and fresh fruit dishes were offered up by the Weller cocina. The class then re-convened in the “theater room” for a slide-accented presentation by Dr. Lyon about how his archival research in Seville led to the Mel Fisher operation locating the richest single Spanish shipwreck found to date in U.S. territorial waters: Nuestra Señora de Atocha. Beginning with a background history of the major annual treasure fleets and their routes, Lyon explained the reason for the 1622 treasure armada being where it was when the hurricane struck them, how some ships survived, and how some returned to Havana via the Gulf of Mexico. He also covered the subsequent contemporary salvage attempts —and their varying successes— before relating the insider’s view of how he examined markings on cannons and silver ingots, which Mel’s divers were finding, and related them to the ship’s manifest and other documents … positively confirming the identity of the Atocha. The members of the class took copious notes when Dr. Lyon began remarking about the other “big ones” (treasure losses) which he had found in the records. He gave out ship names, places of loss, size of treasure cargo —everything but satellite co-ordinates to the wrecks— much to our collective delight. Following a short intermission for “nature call,” etc., we returned to the theater area for a two-hour review of the Manila Galleon trade and one specific modern salvage project. Bill Mathers and Hank Parker, Project Director and Assistant Project Director, respectively, brought into our study the importance of the Manila trade to the Spanish and other Europeans during the era of world colonization. Mathers and Parker laid out in detail the clockwise route of the Manila Galleon in the Pacific and how the prevailing winds and currents there permitted such long-distance travel in such cumbersome sailing vessels of old. Tuning in on the loss of one ship in particular, they told of the wrecking (during its return leg in 1638) of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción off Saipan in the Mariana Islands north of Guam. Not counting the research and planning, they spent two years on the site of the sinking and recovered —in a tight archaeological manner— a fabulous treasure of Asian ceramics, gold jewelry, ornate gold boxes and buttons, jewel-bedecked gold filigree religious items, and remnants of the jars which may have carried the spices so important to this trade. One of the more exciting artifacts recovered was a solid gold comb, engraved with the owner’s name and the date it was made: Doña Catalina de Gusman, 1618. Their meticulous recovery of such precious cargo has certainly placed the punctuation marks in what had been known and written before them of the Manila Galleon. Thursday, 28 June 2007. Departing Lake Worth about 9:00 a.m., the field trip car-a-van boarded I-95 southbound and headed for Tavernier in the Florida Keys —and a memorable day of diving and snorkeling on two of the wrecks of the 1733 Spanish treasure fleet. Despite a tropical “wave” coming up from Cuba and passing over South Florida, the “seminarians” dodged that bullet and had a near-perfect day of water conditions for visiting the El Infante and San Pedro sites. The trip back “home” was filled with chatter about sunken treasure, good times, and “doing this again.” People attending Frogfoot’s summer seminar came from as far as Oregon and as close as Port St. Lucie, FL this year. It was a great pleasure for me to meet these “students” … a couple of whom are subscribers (in bold) … and to catch up with the other lecturers. In alphabetical order, the summer class included: Stan Dilcher, Marietta (GA); Shelly Jolley, Boise (ID); Jeff Moore, Liberty Township (OH); Mark Naylor, Hamilton (OH); Art Schweizer, Portland (OR); Dan Scocozza, Port St. Lucie (FL); and Rick Wyman, Kuna (ID).

“FROGFOOT” SEMINARS 2006
CLASS ONE
Thursday—Sunday, June 22-24

Weather conditions couldn’t have been better for lectures under the “Gazebo on the Dock.” A cool (for Florida) morning breeze wafted over “Weller’s Cove” into the outdoor “classroom,” carrying the fresh aroma of aquatic vegetation and the sounds of coots and grebes feeding among the reeds. Four large iguanas were basking in the warm morning sunlight on the bank across the canal. The nine attendees had been served breakfast under the awning on the Wellers’ deck and were assembled on the dock by 9:00 a.m. for the first session on Thursday. Bob Weller opened the round of self-introductions by the new classmates then began his “Salvaging Spanish Sunken Treasure” program, covering the history of salvage, laws pertaining to this activity in Florida, and the professional details involved in salvage: technique, tagging and bagging artifacts, creating the paperwork required for subcontractors, year-end division of the artifacts recovered, and much more.

Following lunch, the group retired to the air-conditioned indoor classroom for an excellent two-hour lecture by Burt Webber, who regaled his audience with specifics of his research, search, and eventual salvage of the Concepción (1641) on the Silver Bank north of Hispaniola. Burt detailed the involvement of the Dominican government, his innovative salvage techniques and equipment, and the final count on the coins and other artifacts which were retrieved from the coral garden that had overgrown the galleon.

After a coffee break, Ernie Richards took the stage and tutored the class in “reading” the history book which is a Spanish colonial coin. Silver coins from the Atocha site, silver and gold coins of the 1715 plate fleet wrecks, and the Atocha’s large silver “breadloaf-sized” ingots were all explained in detail via a presentation accented with computer-generated slides. One such bar from Weller’s collection was then unveiled for a hands-on examination by those in attendance.

After this full day of very focused instruction, the class was quite ready to adjourn to the shaded and well-stocked oasis on the deck behind the Weller manse. The swapping of sea stories, through wetted whistles, occupied all for an hour or so before going our separate ways, in preparation for resuming the routine at 9:00 a.m. the next day.

Friday’s program began with discussion specific to the Spanish treasure fleet of 1715, ably delivered by “Frogfoot” … followed by a familiarization of some of the equipment used by the salvagers on Florida’s east coast. This included blowers, metal detectors, hookah rigs, and magnetometers. The morning being so occupied, the class was ready for the lunch break, following which the attendees were introduced to their next guest lecturer, Jack Haskins.

Haskins related his many experiences —both as a diver and as an archival researcher— as pertained to his uncovering on paper the locations of many of the major Spanish treasure wrecks known today and his involvement in their subsequent salvage operations. Specifics of working at the Archives of the Indies were shared with the class, and Jack humbly told the stories of some of his greatest finds on the sites of the 1733 Spanish plate fleet in the Florida Keys, one of which —a bejeweled golden Virgin of Guadaloupe medallion— is generally conceded by most salvagers to be the greatest artifact ever recovered from that fleet.

A gourmet dinner Friday night, prepared and conducted by Margaret “Lady GoldDiver” Weller, her son Rob Weller, and the “Two Annas” was an epicurean delight enjoyed by the classmates and the guest speakers.

Saturday’s scheduled itinerary for the attendees included a coastal tour of the known sites of 1715, a stop at the McLarty Treasure Museum in Vero Beach, and a visit to the Mel Fisher Center in Sebastian. Early in the a.m. Sunday, the caravan of students was off to the Keys for a dive on the 1733 wrecks of the San Pedro and El Infante (heavy lightning turned the trip into a visit to nearby “Treasure Beach” for a metal-detector outing).

People attending Weller’s first 2006 seminar came mostly from Florida, but some came quite a distance to take advantage of this unique opportunity. They were: Jorge Adeler and Augi García-Barneche of Historic Real Treasures, Great Falls, VA; *Scott Braico, Brandon, FL; *Ian Chatterton, Tampa; *Joe and Kelly Espi, Lutz, FL; *John Koellisch, New Port Richey, FL; and Greg and Heather Kufchak, Catania, Sicily. *(All associated with Famous Treasures, a metal detector retail store in Land O’ Lakes, FL).

CLASS TWO

Thursday—Sunday, July 13-16

The format for the second installment of Bob Weller’s “The American Dream” Seminars 2006 pretty much followed the first, with a couple of changes in the cast of characters. Bob opened the Thursday session with introductions and more. His presentation was followed by one conducted by Tracy Bowden, who has worked shipwrecks located in the waters of the Dominican Republic for about 30 years. Famous for locating and salvaging the two “Quicksilver Galleons” of 1724, Tracy has most lately been “fine tuning” the salvage of the Concepción of 1641. His two-hour program re-capped his experiences in running salvage operations outside the US and the night-and-day differences of conditions in Samaná Bay vs. the Silver Bank.

The program concerning silver and gold coins of the 1622 and 1715 fleets and delivered by Ernie Richards wrapped the instructional part of the day, and the class adjourned, once again, to the Weller’s deck and dock for some libation and camaraderie.

Friday morning, Bob introduced historic shipwreck salvager John Brandon to the class. John’s presentation concerned his experiences as one of Mel Fisher’s key people in the recoveries of the 1622 Atocha and Margarita … and the subsequent years on the sites of the 1715 fleet. John’s wit was apparent as he provided the patter for his slide show, a TV video about an actual recovery, and an old home movie-come TV video of the early Fisher operation on the 1715 fleet.

In the afternoon, Jack Haskins returned to the stage (armchair on the dock) for his discussion of archival research and dive experiences on the Quicksilver Galleons, 1715 and 1733 fleets, and the Pedro Banks off Jamaica. Dinner that evening was at Don Ramon’s Restaurant in West Palm Beach; the Cuban cuisine seemed to be enjoyed by all.

Saturday saw the crew in a caravan heading north early in the a.m. for the round of the beaches opposite the 1715 plate fleet sites, the McLarty Treasure Museum in Wabasso, and the Mel Fisher Center in Sebastian. Sunday’s trip to the Florida Keys was quite a success, with the students diving/snorkeling on the Infante and San Pedro wrecks of the 1733 fleet, an outing of over six hours in/on the emerald waters there.

Many, many of the attendees of both seminars expressed their appreciation of the programs, and several indicated “we have to do this again next year!” As a matter of fact, there are returning participants at each new session. Chris and “Wick” Wickliff of Las Vegas just happened to be vacationing here this year (third time attending), and Dave Crooks from the Chicago suburbs was also a third-time member of the class.

Attendees of the second session were Ann Brambl, Fort Smith, AR; Gary Beaudoin, Manchester, NH; Jack Butler, Delray Beach, FL; Kevin Cantrell, Kim Cantrell, and Kory Cantrell, Iuka, IL; Dave Crooks (third time attending), Clarendon Hills, IL; Henry Jones, Cleveland; Ron Witham, Heather Dickson, San Francisco/Halifax. –ed.
