Did you see the new pdf on Oculus for SFRX?
Pay attention to what is written with a pen on page 4 & encircled (b)
When I told these guys that it would take a long time before treasure can be hoisted on deck (if ever) they laughed and called me a basher (LOL!), but guess who is right again huh?! Once the permit & easement is received the Dig & Identify phase will start. This will commence near the end of June. This phase will take many months, wouldn't be surprised if this takes a full year to cover that whole area. There are 143 mag hits to be researched, some are so close together that they'll overlap, so lets say 80 holes need to be made, some can be 30 feet deep! That in itself will take a long to dig and blow one hole, and if their work is interrupted with a storm front or hurricane.they can start all over due to turbulence, because this is a shallow site the turbulence will be most hefty there, so those holes will be filled up again. Maybe not completely, but certainly 2/3 to 4/5, hence all their work on that one hole will be in vain. For those who saw that video of how they blow sand it is easy to envision that it will take awhile just to blow one hole, especially when its 30 feet deep. Probably a week to get so deep. They need to blow layer for layer, stop if they find anything, and then continue. Remember that this is an archeological recovery so everything needs to be investigated in a sensitive manner, which in itself will usurp alot of time. Also, hurricane season is in full blow from the end of June, of course not all pass by Florida, but even if a couple of them dive into the gulf of Mexico the waters will be too choppy for SFRX to dive. All things considered, realistically this WILL take a long time to complete the Dig & Identify phase, anyone trying to convince you otherwise is badly informed or has other motives. Saying that the Dig & Identify phase will take at least 6 months to a year is no more than normal, of course this doesn't fit with their agendas but you can't change reality with lies... Anyone who thinks that revenue stemming from artifacts/treasure will be recorded on the financials is again badly informed or plain delusional. Lets assume the salvage phase begins in March 2014, then this phase will also take a long time, because those holes that dug in the dig & identify phase will be covered up again by then, so the earliest date to see revenue on the books will probably be in H2 of 2014 - near the end of that year, or even into 2015. Which is again, no more than normal, these things take a lot of time, whether you like it or not. For those who refuse to believe this, copy this post and paste it on a divers forum, not the SFRX board because no one has a clue, and those who think they know will twist it in their favor and say 'it will be much sooner' LOL They were already off with more than 4 months to guess when the permits would come, and they're at least a year off to see treasure on deck in big(ger) amounts (if ever). I'm not making this stuff up, facts are facts & it is what it is...
