$40M find
The renowned American treasure hunter, Mel Fisher, has announced that his dicing team has recovered a $4O million trove of Spanish gold and ssilver from the seabed off Key West, Florida, using a detector that he says “simply can’t fail.” Mr Fisher’s divers came up with the record haul on Tuesday from the galleon Margarita, one of six ships which went down in a hurricane in 1622. He delayed making the announcement until after the find had been insured. — Key West.
