Lost stuff woth big bucks eh?

How about

On Feb. 5, 1958, a B-47 bomber dropped a 7,000-pound nuclear bomb into the waters off Tybee Island, Ga., after it collided with another Air Force jet.

I bet the FedGov would pay big for that....

I think it has been found and is in process of being recovered, but the average shelf-life of a MK-15 is at most 20 years.

Remember too it is in a corrosive environment, so cut that to less than half of the average shelf-life.
