A dream since I was a little girl. I must have a moral deficiency. Except….it’s not the wealth to me. It’s the discovery. In which case, I must have a mental deficiency. ☕️
Nice share this early morning.

that the Spanish empire had plundered from South America, Typical leftist twaddle.
They didn't plunder it. It was locked in rocks in the ground before they arrived. They created it.

One thing that I do know - if I stumbled on a huge find like that, I’d scoop up a bit before letting anyone know about it.

My favorite sunken treasure shio involves a modern freighter called the SS Politician that went down off, IIRC, the Scottish coast with a load of booze and money.
Not all of which was recovered.

Wondering why the writer felt compelled to snidely include Ehrlichman’s association with Nixon.

The Spanish earned it because they had the technology to extract it.

The only way to benefit from finding lost treasure is to keep it a secret and retrieve it covertly. Apparently the legal battle over ownership of this treasure has gone on for decades.

Oh!
I was wondering where I left that stuff. Thanks for finding it for me.
I’ll be sure to spot you a few bucks for your trouble.
