Mel Fisher's Treasures

The sales women they have in the business are very rude, not very accommodating and unless you look like you spend money, they won't give you the time of day.

Amazing jewelry store showcasing rare coins (and reproductions) found at the Atocha and other area shipwrecks. Knowledgeable staff. Pricey.

My late father bought a piece from here many years ago and it was found cleaning out some of his stuff from my basement. It was a coin from the atocha shipwreck. I could not find the certificate of authenticity which would mean its value would be considerably less. I contacted the museum curator Sandy and while she said they no longer re certify things they could buy back the piece at current retail price! Very honest and nice people and would recommend to anyone looking to invest in a piece of history.

Good selection of "coins". --- which of course I had to buy one. The story of Mel Fisher and his search for this shipwreck is amazing. We will be back! Go enjoy.

After an afternoon of snorkeling, I wanted to purchase some jewelry from the ocean floor. This is your place. My favorite store by far and the local's recommended this store.

Mel Fisher is a legend. His name is synonymous with adventure, risk, and rugged determination the finding of shipwreck treasure and sudden unbelievable wealth. He is a standout figure of the many stand-out figures of Key West and in many ways epitomizes the unique culture of Key West. It is here, in Mel Fisher's Treasures store that you may purchase pieces from Mel's treasure finds. Most of the items come from the Nuestra Senora de Atocha and the Santa Margarita, Spanish galleons that sank during a hurricane on September 6, 1622, off the coast of Key West and are certified as such. However, they also offer recreation items that look the same (no one would know) and will save you a small fortune.

If you haven't read or heard the story of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, you must. It's one of the greatest of all time.

The store itself is really beautiful, well laid out with everything well marked and identified with a knowledgeable, polite staff.

You may see locals on the street wearing Spanish coins on a chain around their neck, affectionately known as "Key West Dog Tags." It's a part of Key West that everybody wants to be a part of. It's history and culture together as one.

Love the staff!!!! BEST place on the island to buy some booty!!! ;) ask for Scott!!! Tell him I sent you! See you guys soon for my next piece!!

Traveling from Texas to Key West due to an American treasure hero... Mel Fisher. Mel Fisher is what brought me to Key West after following him during his search for the Atocha and then the finding of the Atocha and the tragedy of the loss of his son and daughter in law. This was a truly American story. I found this shop of treasure by accident while walking. I had visited Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum in Sebastian Fla and visited the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West. This little shop had a lot of beautiful pieces but me being a poor fellow couldn't afford to purchase any of the beautiful pieces in this shop but felt so taken by the fact of getting to see them. I did buy a T-Shirt. Thank you so much to the family of Mel Fisher for letting us see the treasure.

What a great "educational" Stop. This a nice little museum dedicated to one mans life in pursuit of treasure. First off they have a Military Discount for all you Vets out there :D You can do the self guided tour and for I think two more bucks you can get the recording to listen to while you walk. We chose to forgo the recording. After about half thru the museum I was rooting for Mr. Fisher to find his treasure (even though I knew he had LOLOL). Which I think speaks well for the exhibits and history you learn here. There's a ten minute video that plays about half thru...basically its one of Mr. Fisher's sons briefly telling his father's story. The video itself is very dated quality wise but still interesting.It plays every 15 minutes. They have a standard gift shop filled with items you would expect but there is also a store in the back that sells ACTUAL pieces from Mr. Fishers finds...PRICEY but worth a browse at the minimum.
