Hidden beneath the turquoise waters off a stretch of Florida known as the “Treasure Coast,” a team of divers from a shipwreck salvage company have uncovered exactly that — a load of long-lost Spanish treasure they estimate is worth $1 million.
More than 1,000 silver and gold coins thought to be minted in the Spanish colonies of Bolivia, Mexico and Peru were uncovered this summer off Florida’s Atlantic coast, 1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels LLC announced this week.
Over the years, millions of dollars in gold coins from the 1715 Fleet have been found by salvagers and treasure hunters in a coastal area stretching from Melbourne to Fort Pierce.
Finding 1,000 of them in a single recovery is both rare and extraordinary.”Last year, Florida officials announced they had recovered dozens of gold coins stolen by salvagers from the wreck.
The suspect was identified as a family member of the team contracted by 1715 Fleet – Queens Jewels LLC to work the site.
