Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints
Where is the Caridad's chest?
1 of 6: It's been on the ocean floor for more than 380 years. I would guess there might be some sand on top of it by now.
2 of 6: You won't be able to find it until you get a metal detector, rats. Who on the island has one?
3 of 6: Have you been to Sangre Beach yet? The guy there has one.
4 of 6: Once you have the metal detector, come back to this area (with a full tank of air) and start going after those metal detector beeps.
5 of 6: The spot you want is in the middle of the wreck you see here. From where you start, go straight right past the mast, then look for an area of mottled white and blue-green sand in the middle of the ship's deck.
6 of 6: Once you've located the chest, check your air. If it's less than 75%, you might want to consider going back to refill it and then coming back. Opening the chest will take quite a while, so you need all the air you can get.
