Review
I have read this book and not only organized my own operation, but have found TREASURE!! It saved me months of research, many $$$$, and allowed me to begin salvaging within weeks rather than years. -- Ken Nihely
What a book! I can now call myself a successful salvager because of Bob "Frogfoot" Weller's careful explanation of "How To" begin salvaging. I found a gold coin my first year, along with quite a nice pile of silver Spanish "Pieces of Eight". -- Joe Shepherd

He became involved in underwater work as a frogman in the Navy during the Korean War, serving in Korea from 1951-54, hence his nickname "Frogfoot".

Salvaging Spanish Sunken Treasure,
This review is from: Salvaging Spanish Sunken Treasure (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who has dreamed of recovering sunken treasure,The book is written by a very sucsseful treasure finder and his wife.This will get your appetite wet. Although It is near impossiable these days to recover sunken treasure in Florida with all the new guidlines.It will give the reader a chance to invision how things were done in an earlier time when average people were able to find sunken treasure.Just read the papers salvagers are still finding treasure!From reading some of "Froogfoots" other books you to may find treasure while walking the beach on your next vacation to Florida.

This review is from: Salvaging Spanish Sunken Treasure (Paperback)
Though not very well written it is a wealth of "at your finger tips" knowlege of hunting treasure in Florida. It is also a great "one stop" connection to other resources. I dig it ;).
