Florida treasure hunters find 300-year-old coins

Florida treasure hunters find 300-year-old coins

Two Florida residents made an amazing discovery on the state’s Treasure Coast. The men were metal detecting on a public beach when they discovered 22 Spanish coins believed to be from a shipwreck more than 300 years old. The silver is estimated to be worth about $6,000 in all and, because they were found on land and not in the ocean, they won’t require a permit to keep their prize.

    The Spanish (Europeans) arrived 500 years ago to the Americas. 300 is actually not that old.

    This is a big hobby for old folks in Florida.
    I have watched them walking up and down the beach searching every time I’m there.

    Why don’t the native people of the Americas sue Spain for all the stolen silver and gold that was wrongly taken and melted in to coins.
