No one said you were whining about currents…..
That would be SFRX.
Not everyone is cut out for shipwreck salvage, and SFRX hasn’t shown that have what it takes. To the contrary.
The Company will attempt to complete a SeaSearcher survey of the entire deleted area when certain conditions are met. While non-ferrous targets have been identified by the SeaSearcher, none of these targets have been exhumed yet. There is also a strong possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located at the Juno Beach shipwreck site. Even if there are valuable artifacts and/or treasure located at the site, recovering them may be difficult due to a variety of challenges that include, but are not limited to; inclement weather, hazardous ocean conditions, sand and significant overburden that cover large areas of the site, strong multiple layer currents, etc.

Even the recent (ahem) news mentions the currents.
In response to the environment at Juno Beach, Florida, where divers encounter regular strong currents at depths exceeding 90 feet, the Seafarer team adapted the SeaSearcher’s capabilities to create the Sand Shark™, specifically engineered to withstand these conditions without sacrificing the precision discrimination of metal targets.

I agree, it's clear as mud. What we........
do know is they filed this in the 10K.
Plan of Operation
The Company has taken the following steps to implement its business plan:
*Spent considerable time and capital researching potential shipwrecks, including obtaining information from foreign archives.
*The Company has worked in combination with its technology development partner, Wild Manta Labs, to build a research and conservation lab with full x-ray equipment and detailed metal identification analysis.
*Griding a 300 by 300 foot area at the Juno Beach shipwreck location in the ballast pile and scanning with the SeaSearcher.
I guess what they meant to say is that they spent time and capital researching potential projects. I have no idea what a "potential" shipwreck is and how you research it. You research shipwrecks.
I thought they said last fall the lab was upgraded. Is it "to build" or is it "built?" It's not mentioned specifically in the financial information, just in general under the plan of operation.
Regardless, the 300' x 300' area makes more sense now.
If divers have to take the underwater kite (SeaSearcher) down to scan, I can see how they didn't accomplish much in 16 months since they got the permit.
But we've been told they can dig, so where's the treasure?
Is the handheld just deflection?
How much tweaking will have to be done even though they said it's been tested? We heard the same thing about the underwater kite.
capturing earned media is an art form that requires patience, precision, and an understanding of what sells.
They formed their own media company back in 2018 and they have their own YouTube channel. A video of the handheld in ALL IT'S GLORY would have been nice.
And what is different about the device compared to what's on the market?
It's like we're all OUT OF THE LOOP of a fully reporting company.
The Company has investigated various types of equipment and technology to expedite the process of finding artifacts other than iron or ferrous metals. Most have been of no help, but the Company continues to explore new technologies. The Company has developed its own proprietary technology, the SeaSearcher, and will attempt to continue to develop additional proprietary technologies or work with third parties to develop technologies to aid in its exploration and recovery operations. To date there have been numerous technical delays in the development of the SeaSearcher.
Has developed or in development?
If developed, where's the treasure?
Happy Moody's Monday!

the better question is why would they? A mass blanket release with no follow up and no insight aside from what the release reads, doesn't move a news org(s) to publish, especially a national one. capturing earned media is an art form that requires patience, precision, and an understanding of what sells. What is unique about the product, how might it change the market, who is behind it? All of these questions are integral to getting coverage, and last but not least, video. 4k beautiful video is essential to have.

Still no treasure? Comes as no surprise.
Sea state conditions very good. I would guess SFRX can handle 1 to 2, 2 to 3 foot seas. Here's the forecast;

As of May 13, 2025, there were 9,409,690,919……
shares of the registrant’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share, outstanding.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=18460828&guid=ewc-kqzm3kpCdth#SFRX-10Q_HTM_a014_v1
At the current average daily issuance rate for 2025, they’ll need to either raise the AS or RS around November.
And how many preferred shares are out there???
Series B Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 60 Series B preferred shares authorized and 60 shares of Series A (sic?)preferred stock issued and outstanding. In 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company under the authority granted under Article V of the Articles of Incorporation, defined and created a new preferred series of shares from the 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares. Pursuant to Article V, the Board of Directors has the power to designate such shares and all powers and matters concerning such shares. Such share class shall be designated Preferred Class B. The preferred class was created for 60 Preferred Class B shares. Such shares each have a voting power equal to one percent of the outstanding shares issued (totaling 60%) at the time of any vote action as necessary for share votes under Florida law, with or without a shareholder meeting. Such shares are non-convertible to common stock of the Company and are not considered as convertible under any accounting measure. Such shares shall only be held by the Board of Directors as a Corporate body, and shall not be placed into any individual name. Such shares were considered issued at the time of this resolution’s adoption, and do not require a stock certificate to exist, unless selected to do so by the Board for representational purposes only. Such shares are considered for voting as a whole amount, and shall be voted for any matter by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Such shares shall not be divisible among the Board members, and shall be voted as a whole either for or against such a vote upon the vote of the majority of the Board of Directors. In the event that there is any vote taken which results in a tie of a vote of the Board of Directors, the vote of the Chairman of the Board shall control the voting of such shares. Such shares are not transferable except in the case of a change of control of the Corporation when such shares shall continue to be held by the Board of Directors. Such shares have the authority to vote for all matters that require a share vote under Florida law and the Articles of Incorporation.

What would be worse, pretending to care……
or suggesting you could be on two multi-billion dollar shipwrecks at the EXACT same time that would be by far the 2 most valuable shipwrecks salvaged in history, but lack any data to prove either site has anything valuable on it?
Pretending to care, or saying you’re on “the wreck” at Melbourne without first confirming it is “the wreck” you’re looking for? It wasn’t even a wreck, it was just debris and no identification was ever made.
Pretending to care, or suggesting the treasure wouldn’t be at the Juno ballast pile? Or worse, NOT EVEN KNOWING it should be at the ballast pile, at least a few trinkets?
Regardless, some clarification on the 2nd generation SeaSearcher would be nice since you have often touted the upgrades you said the device has gone through. In light of yesterday’s PR about the hand held, this seems like an appropriate time to ask for such.
Tampa, Fla., July 20, 2022/PR Newswire/ – Seafarer Exploration Corp. (OTCQB: SFRX) announced today the construction of the second-generation SeaSearcher platform focused on deeper water and multi-mode exploration. The upgraded design, which has a wider path of metal discrimination and 3D imaging, is more streamlined and rugged. It is designed to operate in both autonomous and towfish modes with in-field change out for high current sites. It will be an industry-leading device that integrates sub-bottom imaging, side-scan sonar, precision MEMS differential magnetometer array/direction finder, video recording, and metal discrimination on a single platform. All sensors will feed back to the SeaSearcher control panel to be displayed or processed by the machine learning algorithms. These changes will allow the second-generation SeaSearcher to cover more ground in a shorter time while continuing to produce results in real-time.
Was the more “streamlined and rugged” design built for “high current sites” in “deeper water” a complete failure? It certainly has NOT proven to be “industry-leading” and isn’t SFRX admitting the upgrades failed?
Is the “shorter time” mentioned in the PR the reason Mad Max and Peter thought it only took a weekend?
And why is the handheld even needed since gridding and scanning of a 300’ x 300’ area has been completed according to the 10K?
Don’t they already know where the tonnage is? They wouldn’t be diving if it wasn’t on treasure, right?
There’s no hurry for clarification Goldie. Enjoy the weekend and get back to me at your convenience.
You got me on ignore……bwahahahaha!
Too funny!

SFRX said on FB they're planning a......
video presentation of the device, so maybe that will help. It's another device in a flooded market, or so it seems.
Also, according to the PA with the Corp that I posted, they can only dig about a foot deep, but I don't know how that plays in with "waiting on additional permitting" from the Corp. An affiliate says they can dig but won't elaborate.
Think about that. I post the PA showing they can dig a foot, but he won't even elaborate on digging.
Regardless, when you read through the agreement and stipulations it obvious the Corp wants to protect the wreck, which seem contrary to SFRX's goals surrounding Underwater Rescue Archaeology. If it's left in-situ it won't be rescued. It will be gone at some point. And SFRX says......before it's too late.
Wouldn't it make sense to blow holes and recover everything for the museum exhibits? Why leave anything of interest on the ocean floor to be destroyed by time?
The ballast pile can stay, but the anchor is a control point, just like you have on a large construction project. Why is that still on the ocean floor?
Didn't Andrew suggest a "large cultural deposit" beneath the worm poop, and haven't the jack hammers busted thru it?
How does the Corp's fear of 'destroying the wreck' jive with wanting to have museum displays? What if they found kitchen utensils, medical devices, or other interesting artifacts? Just leave them on the ocean floor?
Why not make a deal with the Corp and bring the artifacts up to share with humanity?
Same with Melbourne and the state.
Happy Friday LB!
Looks like the market is wanting to MELT UP with a deal or two announced.

If you are searching primarily for nonferrous metal………
(gold, silver, lead, brass, bronze, aluminum, etc.), the best piece of equipment is a metal detector (Pulse 8X or SAR-1).
https://www.jwfishers.com/category/hand-held-metal-detectors
I, hedge_fun am in now way endorsing these products, I would just like to know what is different about the SandShark compared to what’s been available for years?
JW Fisher’s says the Pulse 8X is rated #1 buy US Homeland Security.
Why can’t longs explain the difference? Or is it a question that is not supposed to be asked?

A solution for the DEEP WATER at Juno…….and
the currents.
Should see the $15B soon, right?
TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Seafarer Exploration (OTCQB: SFRX) is pleased to announce the release and field validation of its Sand Shark™ handheld metal discriminator. Following rigorous laboratory and real-world field testing, the Sand Shark™ is now the newest operational tool in Seafarer’s custom-developed intellectual property (IP) tool suite.
Originally designed for the shallower, calmer conditions of Melbourne Beach, Florida — operating with a connected surface antenna — the SeaSearcher system has continually evolved to meet the dynamic needs of deep-water operations. In response to the environment at Juno Beach, Florida, where divers encounter regular strong currents at depths exceeding 90 feet, the Seafarer team adapted the SeaSearcher’s capabilities to create the Sand Shark™, specifically engineered to withstand these conditions without sacrificing the precision discrimination of metal targets.
The Sand Shark™ is a handheld version of the SeaSearcher metal discriminator, featuring a real-time display that leverages advanced signal processing methods and algorithms within a custom-built hardware platform. Accurate and reliable metal discrimination in a handheld device improves search efficiency under low visibility as well as high current conditions where deployment of a larger or autonomous device is not practical.
Seafarer’s SeaSearcher technology represents a shift in underwater rescue archaeology by significantly increasing the speed and accuracy of identifying historically significant artifacts while improving the cost efficiency of marine operations. By reducing the need for mass excavation, it also maximizes site integrity. Building on this foundation, the Sand Shark™ handheld delivers further advancements in operational capabilities. By providing divers with immediate, actionable feedback in the field, the handheld system enhances operational efficiency, precision targeting, and resource allocation, further accelerating the discovery process while preserving the integrity of archaeological excavations.
“The Sand Shark™ represents a meaningful advancement not just in our operational capabilities, but in the way underwater rescue archaeology technology can integrate seamlessly with the human element,” said Kyle Kennedy, CEO of Seafarer Exploration. “By reducing the burden on divers and increasing precision, we are able to move closer to our goal of setting a new industry standard for responsible, efficient, IP-driven underwater rescue archaeology.”
John Cavanaugh, Principal Scientist for the Sand Shark™ project commented “The Sand Shark™ is the result of a multi-disciplinary team effort involving Engineers, Archaeologists, and divers to develop a solution which combines leading edge applied physics and algorithms with historic archaeology. Having access to actual historical artifacts during the development process has allowed the Sand Shark™ to focus on the unique characteristics of historic shipwrecks with the goal of minimizing excavation of modern objects.”
This milestone demonstrates Seafarer’s ongoing commitment to pioneering new solutions that enhance marine exploration efforts while protecting the historical integrity of submerged cultural resources.
Seafarer’s expanding IP portfolio and technology deployments are designed to enable highly selective, efficient recovery efforts while advancing the science of underwater rescue archaeology.
