Event Summary

A team of divers from 1715 Fleet - Queens Jewels LLC uncovered over 1,000 silver and gold coins, estimated to be worth $1 million, off United States — Florida's Atlantic coast. These coins were part of a Spanish fleet that sank in 1715. Under United States — Florida law, 20% of the recovered artifacts are retained by United States — Florida for public display and research, with the remaining split between the salvage company and its subcontractors. Sal Guttuso, director of operations for 1715 Fleet - Queens Jewels LLC, highlighted the historical significance of the find. The coins were minted in Spanish colonies, including present-day Bolivia, Mexico, and Peru. This discovery follows a previous incident where United States — Florida officials recovered stolen gold coins from the same wreck site.
