Shipwreck Treasure Coins
of El Cazador

On January 11, 1784 El Cazador sailed from Vera Cruz, Mexico for New Orleans carrying 450,000 pesos of silver Reales. The vessel and its crew disappeared into the winter sea, sinking without a trace. The Spanish needed this shipment to stabilized the weak monetary system in colonial North America. Spain lost Louisiana to France's Napoleon, who sold It to the United States. On August 2, 1993, the shipwreck of El Cazador was accidentally discovered by Capt. Jerry Murphy of the fishing vessel "Mistake".
The treasure of El Cazador has arrived after 209 years - the longest voyage.

( 1784 - 1993 )

Hello rockhounds!
Do you pick up rocks everywhere you go? So do we. Do you surround yourself with the beauty of nature? So do we. Especially Quartz crystals, and Fluorite is one of our personal favorites. We were the owners of the Rose Creek Mine in Franklin NC for 17 years. Now we wander the country and the world looking for treasures; hence the name Rose Creek Treasure's. The background in this picture is the view of the Smoky Mountains from our home office where we "work" on eBay full-time. Pretty hard to take but somebody's got to do it! The only problem we have selling is letting them go but you just can't keep them all. We enjoy every part of the sale from taking a good photo to carefully wrapping a crystal wand for shipping. We hope you enjoy our treasure too. Thanks for looking at our page.
Blessings, Rebecca and Marty
