Member Introductions

Hi everybody, I’m Alejandro Orozco from Seville, Spain. Just paid the lifetime membership dues today. If memory serves, I’m the only member from Spain, after an antiquarian and coin collector from Barcelona who joined some time ago.
I hold a BA in History and have always had an interest in the history of the Spanish Empire. Of course, the 1715 Fleet and its fabulous treasure, piracy and other such topics are also among my passions. I have taken part in archaeological excavations as well, but sadly no underwater excavations yet.
I’m eager to hear back from other fellow historians and archaeology enthusiasts here. If someone ever needs me to take a look at the file of the 1715 Fleet in the Archivo General de Indias, or simply to conduct research there, please let me know. The archive is just a stone’s throw away from home. Will try to meet other members in person at the next biennial conference, if funds allow.

Hello everyone,
My name is Brian Kurent and I am live in Bluffton, SC. I make the trek down to the treasure coast any storm (work permitting too) that allows me to come down and detect on the beaches for treasure. Very happy to become a member to expand my research and knowledge of the fleet. If anyone is ever up in the SC area and needing anything, let me know. I have a decently large amount of books and research done personally, but nothing compared to what is available here I would guess and what some of you have access to. Happy to be a member (# tdb)!
