To put that into perspective,the famous Titanic wreck is only found at a depth of 12500 feet. %We duped this was no easy feat the team faced multiple breakdowns of their systems due to the pressure temperature and repeated Dives at such a depth. Did you hear about the Epic treasure found on the Black Swan wreck? it was discovered by Odyssey Marine exploration in 2007 off Gibraltar and they hit the jackpot. The Salvage team found a whopping 17 tons of coins worth 500 million dollars.Can you even imagine that much money?

Columbus discovered the new world.ornate gold chain talk about hitting the
jackpot.
Brent Brisbane the owner of 1715 Fleet
Queens Jewels LLC said those fines were
important not just for their monetary
value but their historical importance
but there's more.
The ship was recovered over 50 years ago
and divers have only found about 50
million dollars worth of treasure.It's
believed that there's still over 400
million dollars worth of treasure hiding
below the sea.They just hightailed it back to the U.S with their loot sneaky an old man in the Dominican Republic was selling a coin that turned out to be the oldest coin ever minted in the new world and that's just the beginning of the craziest shipwreck story ever. The team at deep blue marine used some fancy sonar to search the area where the coin was found, and they stumbled upon parts of a wrecked ship they also found jade statues, ancient Mayan bling, and gold coins from way back in 1535. The crew got to keep half of their booty while the Dominican Republic authorities received nothing else besides a postcard a passenger wrote to their parents.
Treasures from the Titanic are still
popping up for auction
like some deck chairs from the first
class Promenade deck were auctioned off
for 85 000 pounds. They're too delicate
to sit on now but still a crazy piece of
History.

dollars worth of gold artifacts in
Shallow Waters only 30 miles north of
West Palm Beach and get this one of the
coins was even meant for the king of
Spain.These Treasures were part of the

leaving Havana Cuba. Can you believe it

the Ultimate Party of exploration just
got a little more exciting
we're talking about Vasco da gamas
Esmeralda the oldest shipwreck from
Europe's Age of Exploration baby.
This bad boy was wrecked in a gnarly
storm back in 1503 along the India route
from Europe in the Arabian Sea but wait
it gets better.
The wreck was actually found way back in
1998 but it took almost two decades to
excavate it and guess what they found
rare coins,
a ship Bell and other cool artifacts
that confirmed the identity of the ship
and the treasures are still being
uncovered
just last year.In 2017, they discovered a
unique navigational tool called an
astrolabe at the wreck, how cool is that
a bunch of Indonesian fishermen found a
super old ship from the 9th century off
belitong Island in 1998. It proved that
trading between China and the Middle
East was totally a thing back then
thanks to the maritime Silk Road, the
wreck is so cool that it's also known as
the Tang treasure because it's the
biggest collection of Chinese Tang
Dynasty artifacts ever found in one spot
but there's some serious drama going
down over an exhibition of these
Priceless Treasures.
it's like a battle between commercial
treasure Salvage and archaeological
preservation of shipwrecks who will win?
only time will tell.

was loaded with silver gold and emeralds
worth billions of dollars today but get
this it sunk after a battle with British
ships off the coast of Cartagena
Colombia way back in 1708 crazy right

2015 some awesome peeps discovered the

oceanographic institution used a cool
underwater vehicle to identify the ship

hey! have you ever dreamed of finding
Buried Treasure and becoming a
millionaire overnight? Well guess what?
it's not just a dream meet Forest Fenn
the man who hit a chest filled with one
to five million dollars worth of
treasure in the Rocky Mountains
and get this,it took 10 years for
someone to finally find it.
Fenn announced the treasure hunt back in
2010 and over the years tens of
thousands of people set off to look for
it,the treasure chest was filled with
265 American Gold Eagles and double
eagles,ancient coins, gold nuggets and
more but finding it wasn't easy. Fenn
used a poem with 24 lines that had hints
in it and it took some serious decoding
skills to figure out where the treasure
was hidden.
Finally in June 2020, the long-awaited
news came. the treasure had been found,
the lucky winner was Jack Stewaff, a
former journalist and medical student.
The treasure was hidden under a canopy
of stars in the forest in the Rocky
Mountains and it was so well hidden that
not all the advertised Treasures were
found in the chest,
but don't let that stop you from trying
your luck at finding buried treasure, who
knows maybe you'll be the next lucky
winner and if you need some inspiration
just remember that Forest fenn's only
goal was to give people some hope
so why not give it a shot and see what
you can find who knows maybe you'll
become a millionaire too.
