Legendary Mo Molinar

Mo is one of the most successful treasure hunters in Florida to date. Mo worked for Mel Fisher from the very start of the 1715 Fleets recovery operations. After several years and many successes with t he 1715 Fleet, Mo followed Mel Fisher when Mel moved his search and recovery operations to the Florida Keys to search for the 1622 wreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha.

While searching for the Atocha in 1972, Mo discovered a previously unknown shipwreck. After 10 years of artifact recovery and research, the wreck finally gave up the ship's bell. It was the "Henrietta Marie" and a date of "1699". To date, it is the only slave ship ever to be found and identified in the new worlds water's.

After the 1985 "big pile" recovery of the main ballast area on the Atocha, Mo Molinar decided to strike it out on his own and left Fisher's company. Mo was working on the Nuestra Senora de las Nievas wreck in 1987 when he made the largest recovery of Spanish gold coins on the 1715 Fleet since the early days of the Real Eight Company. In this year alone, Mo and his divers recovered 238 gold coins and a spectacular 4 escudo "Royal" presentation piece along with many other artifacts.

Since this time, not a year has gone by when Mo has not made a magnificent find of gold, silver, jewelry, or a unique artifact.
