The file and whetstone I carry in my knapsack.

How shipwreck hunter's search for a sunken galleon and lost engraved stone could rewrite Australian history by proving the Spanish landed more than a CENTURY before Captain Cook
Copywrite Ben Cropp.
A shipwreck hunter has launched a new expedition to search for a
sunken Spanish galleon and engraved stone lost in Queensland that, if found,
could rewrite Australia's history.
Veteran documentary maker Ben Cropp is determined to find evidence
that Spanish explorers landed in eastern Australia about 130 years before
Captain James Cook's famous voyage up the east coast in 1770.
He is searching for a 17th Century Spanish gold mining settlement he
believes existed south of Bamaga in Far North Queensland, according to markings
on an ancient map.
