Lost Fortune Unveiled: Mysterious $1 Million Treasure Pulled From Sunken Spanish Galleon
What would you do if you stumbled across buried treasure—retire to a private island, or just frantically Google “how to sell antique doubloons”? Well, someone out there just hit the jackpot. In what can only be described as the dream scenario for every armchair Indiana Jones, a crew of treasure hunters has fished up more than 1,000 gold and silver coins, worth a cool million bucks, from a 1715 Spanish shipwreck off the sunny coast of Florida . I can’t decide what’s more jaw-dropping: the fact the coins survived 300 years at the bottom of the ocean or that I’ve never found more than three quarters behind my sofa.
