The treasure found by the Schmitts comes from the wreckage of a convoy of 11 ships that were destroyed in a hurricane off the coast of Florida in 1715 while en route from Havana to Spain. The 1977 film "The Deep" and the 2008 "Fool's Gold" film were based off of the 1715 wreckage.
According to the ships' manifests, $400 million worth of treasure was on board and so far only $175 million has been found, Brisben said.

Good to know Ms Bisset was using headlights to find her way underwater
She definitely was using her “high beams” to see in those murky waters...
The next news story involving this family will be how they were robbed and or killed by the mob or some druggie.
heh heh heh. Good catch. But, by the admission, the FL dept of revenue may be keeping an eye on them.
They just wrapped up a storyline where McDowell's character has been feuding with his neighbor -- Rob Lowe -- for decades because Lowe allegedly "stole" Jacqueline Bisset from him. Lowe finally makes a cameo appearance, and it all turns out to be a misunderstanding.
My favorite inside joke is when one of the other characters make some reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey", and McDowell's character exclaims: "I love that director!". The joke is a bit obscure, but really funny if you get it.
They are taking a distant second to the idiots that sent the 10- 1933 $20 gold pieces into Treasury to ask if they were real...
According to the article, Mel Fisher already owns the rights to the wreckage.
“2001” is probably my favorite film of all time.
OTOH, “Clockwork Orange” was interesting in a VERY strange way and MM was quite superb in capturing that insanity in his character. Loved the bowler hats!
Kubrick was a genius - no question.
Hard to hide it when you are only 150 yards offshore.
I doubt that the treasure galleys were ever classified as warships.
Concur. Oh how I wish I could have been the Andrew McCarthy character in the movie "Class."
I wonder how many times McCarthy “flubbed” a scene with JB so he could do it again. And again. And again.
Me? I’d forget my lines and just.....
Heh heh, I know I would.
the way the first picture is posed, she looks exactly like my oldest granddaughter....grad. from U o M with a fine arts degree....that girl is gosh darn beautiful....her younger sister just graduated from college in Brooklyn and she is 5’10, long blond hair and has the nick name of Barbie.....
damn straight.
get a metal kiln and melt it into bars.
