It's shit like this that planets seeds in the minds of today's youth

*buys a metal detector*

that's pretty cool ..real life treasure hunters . I wonder what it cost to find and retrieve them.

What ever it was, I'm sure they can satisfy the invoice.

Damn..what a nice haul..I gotta take up deep sea diving

Fuck! Luckies!

It would be damn cool to make a find like that. Most of the time these days the finds are by well financed companies though. Not something that the average guy can go out and stumble on. I would love to do it, but lack the massive bank roll for equipment, and I live in the wrong area. Not as many treasure wrecks up here in the Northwest.

I'm hoping to be in on a little of that kinda action next year. My uncle is partners in a salvage operation and they do that kind of treasure hunting. I was on his boat back in 91 and we found a bunch of stuff but couldn't bring it up at that point.

Now everything is worked out with the local govt, so we are going back this coming year. I hope I can get back on the boat this time because it should be a nice find and a nice payout.

this was one of the wrecks we found then..

I saw that. Unfreakin believable. Cheers to that team of salvage divers.

Awesome and just to see something so well preserved is amazing from that along ago.. let alone something thats been underwater all this time.

Hard work pays off.

Those guys have some seriouse luck and a helping of good Karma for sure.

I invested a couple thousand a few years ago in Odyssey (OMR), looks like their stock is on the rise again.

wee :D

damn, nice little find there!!

The british government applauds them - and rubs their hands together.

flooding the valuable coin market with that many coins will drive that price down so the estimate is way over IMO

Wow, $500 million. That's a lotta coins.
