Shipwreck yields estimated $500M haul

I so wish I could be a treasure hunter.
Looks like this is the richest wreck ever found. There are probably so many other wrecks out there. Eventially someone will create a machine where they can be found alot quicker, like a satelite.
If they did it seems like all these coins would start losing there value since there would be so many.

More good news...publicly traded company... You just might be able to get some of that shipwreck gold yourself, from buying a share or two...

I see that the wreck was off the southern UK coast but that the Spanish Government is now claiming the loot is Spanish property.

I posted this story a little while ago I got a couple of replies, not to sure if this is the same story your link is broken, well for me anyway.

yup...the OP link is a broken link.

Thanks Sauron for your link! I wonder if this is the same wreck as the OP? I can't imagine that 2 such big finds would happen so close to each other, so I am betting they ARE the same.
