I can feel a treasure trip coming on.

Whereas the sloop Katherine, Capt. Luke Methuen, from Rotterdam was lately lost on the gunfleeet sands and had seven casks of Spanish Dollars stowed in her stern sheets, which are now buried in the sand :  These are to give notice that whoever is capable and will undertake the fishing up the said money, shall have all fitting encouragement by applying to Capt. Daniel Harvey of the custom house Wivenhoe .

Ipswich journal Dec.20th 1760.
