I don’t think I’d tell a single person of my finds, I’ll just sell it as is.
How can one man have exclusive rights to all that gold. Him: Hey did you find any gold today?
Me: no just went diving he he
i saw the same coin in rick harrison's pawn shop estimated for 18k
That´s from the "Atocha" fleet...
Kind of interesting, I bet they found the booty in next to the reef, the place that most of the people overlooked. I visited the Atocha museum, I always said treasure was still lost on the reef!!!
Where exactly is this spot? Asking for a friend he lives in ft pierce.
I bet it is at museum near to other Spanish items during New Spain Florida.
Unbelievable find!! Way to go gang!!
They should not get anything. You can't claim like that. It's not right.

What if these people is on part of Spanish Empire treasure hunter books such as at Spain? Along with other treasure founders on other tabs on my computer?
Treasure hunting in Florida? Here ya go page 79 of Francis Parkmans "Pioneers of France in the New World" 1865 "During the winter, Indians from the neighborhood of cape Canaveral brought to the fort two Spaniards, wrecked fifteen years before (1550) on the southwestern extremity of the peninsula." "They told of the King of Calos, on whose domains they had been wrecked, a chief mighty in stature and in power. In one of his villages was a pit, six feet deep and as wide as a hogshead, filled with the treasure gathered from Spanish wrecks on adjacent reefs and keys." Good Hunting!
Did he sell any ?
Stole the gold claim they found it from a shipwreck. Simple as that.
Hello guys....
we are looking for treasure buyers we find the are written on gold pices from London.
there are ceilings gold,plate and gold ingots....
Seriously, what are the statistical odds of finding this horde of coins... including 9 Royals, on the exact 300th anniversary of the wrecks. It’s not 300 to one that’s for sure...Makes a great name and premium value for any coin slabbed from that horde.. “300 Anniversary Find “... I’ve never bought that bullshit...never will
James Hetfeild I spent the summer 2004 working as a diver for one of the Fisher subcontractors. We had a medium size boat, single blower, were the most active crew and found a couple pieces of olive jars and ballast stones. (We only had $12,000 backing for fuel and air). One other hunter found 12 or so coins. There is a certain amount of luck. My captain did find an area yielding 200 ish coins in the '90s. (I heard rumors of coins sometimes being brought out from shore, "found," and then declared and taxed. There was increased investor backing in 2015, including higher tech searching tools, used in 2015, in the hopes of having a big find for a reality show....
That is very hard to believe, but you could not be more wrong. I am the diver(blue gloves) who found the coins. It absolutely happened on the 300th anniversary. We only found 230 coins on the first day. It took us another four days to clean out the site. The final count was 302 coins I believe. The hardest thing for me to believe is that it has already been five years. True story. 100%.

@@akyank96hey I know this is an old comment but do you mind telling me how to get into the profession of treasure hunting and metal detecting because I am really passionate about this and would like to know how to get started.

Seems rather unlikely
that is stealing from Spain
The money doesn't belong to you
Finders keepers
And Spain stole it from the Incas & Mayans...so your point is?
@@ericevandarling160 let spain spend 1000s of hours hunting...the treasure should belong to the state but the hunters should get full value of the treasure founds at his or her expense.
Finders keepers. You be the weeper. Booo hooo
