That's the trouble with these young people. They had to go shooting off their mouths about their find. They wanted the 15 minutes of fame. Let's see if they actually get to keep any of it. Look at that that guy who found a sunken galleon full of treasure. It was in litigation for years.

Which guy? Mel Fisher found a Spanish galleon in Florida waters, and the state claimed the bulk of it. Tommy Thompson found a U.S. gold shipment from the CA gold rush in international waters, and spent half of it (if not more) fighting off lawyers from every insurance company in the country.
