Default Spanish Gold

Ever notice that it's always Spanish gold that's involved in treasure stories?

The two best places for diving for boat parts is The Witchs & The Graveyard. I have seen people pull up skegs, lowers from outboards with props still on them, stainless props on propshafts, etc from The Graveyard area. Just depends where you want to start diving.

Default The Treasure...TRUE Story!

Hi Guys & Gals,
The story of the sunken treasure is TRUE! I was wondering when it would surface on the website. Here is what I know! It was a Spanish Galleon, in fact it was a four masted ship, named "The Black Falcon." Carrying gold, and other treasures. It mysteriously disappeared, with all it's valuable cargo. Now, from how the story goes, it wasn't "Lost" forever, but resurfaced again, about four or five years ago. It was discovered by a group of Survivors, from a plane crash (a commercial jet from Australia), on a "Lost Island." The plane went down and the survivors swam to an island, on Winnipesaukee, where they waited to be rescued. It was a mysterious island, where some kind of experiments were taking place (might be where that old sunken Navy platform is in Alton) but it was called the "Darmer Initiave." Anyway, some of the survivors found the Black Falcon, and all it's gold, and attempted to bring it back across the water (via a wagon) in the winter when the ice was thick enought to hold the weigth of the gold (or so they thought), On the way something happened, and a strange force, caused the all in the group, the gold, and The Black Falcon, to disappear again (it happened this past spring, and stories have it, a band of "Witches" grabbed them and pulled them under. That's how the "Witches" got it's name ) Now they are all stuck "Somewhere" on Winnipesaukee, on a LOST Island, and so as of this date, the Black Falcon, The gold, Kate, Jack, John, Hurley, Siebe, and the others remain LOST somewhere on an Island. Many have tried to find the island, but no one has, and returned to tell about it..so Good Luck... BUT Beware!

Default Me thinks we have a ...

fan among us. Or maybe an author?.

Gunz and Roses
ISBN: 1601621566
Label: Urban Books
Manufacturer: Urban Books
Number Of Pages: 224
Publication Date: September 01, 2009

Urban fiction diva Keisha Ervin is back with Gunz and Roses, her latest story of street love.
Time stands still as up and coming fashion editor Gray Rose watches the man of her dreams walk into the club


Maybe a famous author has moved into one of the discount McMansions on Governors Island.

PS... this is intended to be a joke... so all nasty replies will be ingored.

I thought it was just a variation of Guns N' Roses, a hard rock band.

The hell with the gold. I'm still hoping to find the missing load of Prohibition booze near Rum Point!
