Typical government. Do nothing but sit on the shore and demand that you turn it over.
I bet it is at museum near to other Spanish items during New Spain Florida.

What if these people is on part of Spanish Empire treasure hunter books such as at Spain? Along with other treasure founders on other tabs on my computer?
How can one man have exclusive rights to all that gold. Him: Hey did you find any gold today?
Me: no just went diving he he
That´s from the "Atocha" fleet…
Kind of interesting, I bet they found the booty in next to the reef, the place that most of the people overlooked. I visited the Atocha museum, I always said treasure was still lost on the reef!!!

i saw the same coin in rick harrison’s pawn shop estimated for 18k
that is stealing from Spain
The money doesn’t belong to you
Hello guys….
we are looking for treasure buyers we find the are written on gold pices from London.
there are ceilings gold,plate and gold ingots….
Seriously, what are the statistical odds of finding this horde of coins… including 9 Royals, on the exact 300th anniversary of the wrecks. It’s not 300 to one that’s for sure…Makes a great name and premium value for any coin slabbed from that horde.. “300 Anniversary Find “… I’ve never bought that bullshit…never will
They should not get anything. You can’t claim like that. It’s not right.
Where exactly is this spot? Asking for a friend he lives in ft pierce.
Treasure hunting in Florida? Here ya go page 79 of Francis Parkmans "Pioneers of France in the New World" 1865 "During the winter, Indians from the neighborhood of cape Canaveral brought to the fort two Spaniards, wrecked fifteen years before (1550) on the southwestern extremity of the peninsula." "They told of the King of Calos, on whose domains they had been wrecked, a chief mighty in stature and in power. In one of his villages was a pit, six feet deep and as wide as a hogshead, filled with the treasure gathered from Spanish wrecks on adjacent reefs and keys." Good Hunting!
I don’t think I’d tell a single person of my finds, I’ll just sell it as is.
Stole the gold claim they found it from a shipwreck. Simple as that.
