Awesome discovery! If I were younger I would love to have done this kind of treasure hunting/searching for those Spanish and pirate treasure ships that sank long ago. But then the reality is how much did they have to spend to recover this awesome find? Just like a gambler, he will tell you how much he won but never how much it cost him to win!! Having a brother addicted to gambling, I can speak from experience.
Finding a treasure ship like they did with all that gold, I can only imagine the huge adrenaline rush and sense of accomplishment after searching for so long and this is the stuff that goes down in the history books.

In pure salvage, there is no contract between the owner of the goods and the salvor. The relationship is one which is implied by law. The salvor of property under pure salvage must bring his claim for salvage in court, which will award salvage based upon the "merit" of the service and the value of the salvaged property.

I lived in Fl many yrs. Used to do a little diving with a couple scuba buddies off my boat. My buds were allways looking at and concentrated on fish. I was usually near bottom looking intently all over for signs of a wreck or treasure. Sunglasses, cameras, fishing tackle, beer bottles. That's my only treasure I guess. I'm no Mel Fisher. But I at least had a pair back then and would go offshore in my 20' Proline open fisher single kicker and go floppin around the bottom poking my Rambo like dive knife into the sand looking for loot!
I remember a news paper story that had many residence beach combers sick. It seems people on the east coast somewhere used to pick up what all thought were some sort of flat roundish stones. Everyone used to whip em back into the sea trying to skip the stone. It happened that a person with knoledge picked one up and regocnized them as silver coins covered with ocean crustations. Story made it to the papers. Old Spanish silver hoard busted up long ago in the shallow waters on the coast. Blown/ moved up with storms they'd appear in the surf line or beach. Folks were just I'll thinking how they used to play skim the stone so the story goes.
