In concert with our Bahamian Company, we have recently employed cutting edge geologic survey equipment, archival research and local oral history to investigate and pinpoint caches of precious metals and other items that were buried in Fortune Hill. We have collected numerous stories and traditions concerning the presence of treasures on the island through extensive personal interviews with residents who, long ago, have actually seen and touched these treasures in the island's cave system in their youth. All accounts are consistent as to specific location, and we have identified numerous excellent targets.

Our current objectives are to physically examine the targets that indicate the best potential for recovery of cached valuables, to recover the materials in a controlled archaeological manner, to conserve the materials for study, and to determine the history of these items. In all these activities, we will comply with our government permits and established archaeology practices.

The intricate cave system in the area of study has been visualized by resistivity testing, geophysical phase readers, and other state-of-the-art imagers. These scanners allow us to discriminate geological structure from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The anomalies we've observed are cause for much excitement! Our team will soon begin the removal of surface layers and the complex work of effecting careful removal of valuable items discovered.

There is much archival information concerning San Salvador's role in history during the era of the Spanish Main. Navigation routes from the New World back to Europe passed nearby, and where there were treasure ships there were always pirates. This island was named after a real pirate, John Watling, and history has recorded it as a resort of privateers. Who could these huge caches of gold, silver, and gems belong to? John Watling?
