An even richer find from the 1715 shipwreck than the one found just recently:
Florida divers find 350 coins worth $4.5M
On July 30 and 31 off the coast of Vero Beach, Brisben, who is captain of the S/V Capitana, and his crew recovered 350 gold coins.Nine of the coins found are known as Royals and valued at $300,000 apiece; these were specially made for King of Spain Phillip V in the early 1700s.
300 years after the ship sank, it is releasing its golden secrets.
Very cool and enriching finds indeed.
"Found 350", eh? Wonder how many they really found.
