Divers were often enough sucked up and thrown against the mailboxes to a point where safety devices had to be installed. Mel had iron bars welded around the mailbox to keep people and objects away from the propellers. It was impossible to communicate with divers working below in those days so it was imperative that these safety screens be installed. They are in common use today by underwater treasure hunters. Another method of moving sand is by the use of an air lift.

The diver uses his treasure hunting vessels. Once in place the vessel could be anchored fore and aft so it would not move when the propeller was engaged.

The invention was called a mailbox. Not only was visibility improved by sending clearer surface water down below, the force of the down- draft of water from the churning propeller dug neat, round holes in the bottom clear down to the coral substrate. Divers heavily weighted down could work under the propeller wash and see clearly as treasures were uncovered. Once you see it in operation, the mailbox is relatively simple.

Ships with two engines and two propellers had two mailboxes fixed on the stern platform. It can be used above Magazine assigned one of their top water and underwater to depths up to feet. One diver water treasure detector with Spanish coins found had his arm sucked into the pipe. Since the operation of the compres- sor was aboard ship, and he was working alone without any ability to communicate, he remained with his arm stuck in the vacuum until he was rescued.

Arms, hands and fingers must be kept away from the operating end of air lifts, and care must be used to operate them in a manner so that valuable smaller objects are not sucked into the pipe and lost again out the open end. Underwater treasure hunters all have their favorite metal detectors. In the early days metal detector tech- nology was from the mine detectors of World War II vintage.

Adaptations had to be made to accommodate their use underwater. Inventors like Tony Spooner began working with Mel Fisher to develop effective underwater metal detectors that were practical and durable. Photo by Myriam Moran. When Mel Fisher and his team of divers uncovered uncut emeralds on the Atocha site the air lift sucked them up and spewed them out the open end. Divers had to grab the cascading green stones as they fell back onto the sand.

The power of surge pulls them off. Instead of beeping, and rather than trying to look at a meter in lim- ited visibility without having the inconvenience of ear phones, whose cables can tangle and be washed away, the device would vibrate when a hit occurred.

The objects have to be iron like anchors or cannons. Magnetometers will not detect bronze cannons, the kind the Atocha carried. Simply put it is a magnet dragged underwater connected to shipboard computers.

Today the use of drones has made aerial photography relatively inex- pensive. In the hands of a skilled operator, a drone can hover over a suspected shipwreck site returning images to a shipboard computer. This is especially valuable in clear and relatively shallow water.

It was an unpleasant job in the brutal Florida summer sun. Too often I have seen novice divers immediately take cameras below. When the difficulty of the dive is more than their skill level can accommodate the camera only adds another burden. I have had to help rescue overburdened divers.
