With all the heavy scavenging the Odyssey Marine Exploration is doing, I wonder if it is the gold or the weapons that someone is really after.

The story below is code named, The Black Swan. This really sounds similar to the stories I’ve heard from the scuba divers/treasure hunters.
Note, this is from an undisclosed location in the Atlantic Ocean. Timing is about the same as the WW1 weapons story.

Odyssey Marine Exploration Soars After Atlantic Ocean Discovery
Friday, May 18, 2007; Posted: 04:29 PM
(RTTNews) - Odyssey Marine Exploration (OMR | charts | news | PowerRating) soared to a new high after a huge ship wreck discovery in the Atlantic Ocean. The stock gapped open higher, but drifted back in the first half hour. It made back the losses in the next 15 minutes, though, and then stabilized for the day. The stock closed at $8.32, up $3.72.
On Friday, the company said it has completed the pre-disturbance archaeological survey and preliminary excavation of a Colonial period shipwreck site code-named “Black Swan” in an undisclosed location in the Atlantic Ocean. The artifacts recovered from the site include over 500,000 silver coins weighing more than 17 tons, hundreds of gold coins, worked gold, and other artifacts. All recovered items have been legally imported into the Unites States and placed in a secure, undisclosed location where they are undergoing conservation and documentation.
Interesting point about gold vs weapons. Thanks.
I have scuba diver friends that always went down there looking for treasure that is part of a wreck. There are gold coins packed in plastic containers.'Gold coins packed in plastic containers'?
From what era in our past?
1970?
