Treasure Hunters Challenge: Week 8 »

The eighth and final challenge is upon us, and Laird gives us the final instruction with this introduction via phone: "Today we travel to the mouth of the St. Sebastian river, just South of Cape Canaveral. A hurricane struck this area in 1715, leaving 11 Spanish galleons, and their treasure, at its bottom. Only a few of these ships have ever been recovered. Your challenge is to find a gold doubloon from these wrecks. The water is deep and your bottom time is limited, so proceed wisely."

Update: The server was a bit overwhelmed last night, so comments were disabled. It looks like things are lighter now, so I've turned them back on, things are picking up again and all seems to be holding up well for the moment. Hopefully everything will keep running this time. Keep your fingers crossed.

Update: The official online contest is now closed to entry submissions. Good luck to everyone who entered before the deadline! Maybe someone from here will make it to the final 10 (or even win it all). That would be sweet. If you do, be sure and let me know.
