It’s not Spanish!!The gold is from the Americas, Spain stole resources for centuries…..the colonies did not need the European countries, it was the other way around!?
Finders keepers. Spain and any Government who jails someone who finds a treasure are tyrants.
They should instead THROW THEM A FREAKING PARTY as a THANK YOU and at least 15% to 30% compensation plus Operational Expenses and Tax Free.
Like indi said it belongs in a museum
I’m sure israel will end up with it….
Finders keepers.
Lmao whoever found it should get it period or give them half of its worth.
Spain is entitled to their sunken war ship from ages ago because they are white. But everybody else in their treasures aren’t even entitled to the land they are still standing on. they can take stuff out of Egypt out of everywhere else but they want to tell somebody else they can see the treasure that has been found. Practice what you preach maybe somebody will find you reliable
Again comment at the end by reporter was bias. News reporters need to KNOW their jobs report but, remain impartial.!! So keep sighs, opinions and opinions off camera. Black people were enslaved, beaten, shackled, abused mentally and physically, made to work for free.. long hours, they were cargo and property that was sold on, their women and children suffered the same fate. Would she sigh if their ancestors looked for retribution for past events. The magdwline laundries, aboriginal people and abused victims got compensated…Did she sigh when that happened!? I for one see nothing wrong than righting the past.
It belongs to the country native peoples!
And this is why one should keep quiet about it, and sell it.
Spain does not deserve anything
Spain owes the world anyway.
these f*kn nazis. Just pure haters and devils. notice how the devil b🐝 belittled the indigenous ppls claim… Watch these Aryan mfkas.
If Spain at least paid a finders fee then the indigenous group and the finders that salvaged it should by right be compensated. Would they prefer black market, devious people just stealing it.!!???
im entitled to it my body is Dominican.
Cursed money. Enjoy.
Who cares…
All the greedy bastards and their minions, lackeys and cronies will congregate like flies on a pile of dung..!
Starting with the politicos, the courts and judges, the salvage and diving outfits, the various countries navies and police forces…etc…etc…!
Will rip each other apart for the loot..!
THE POPULACE, descendant of the poor SOBS who worked in the conquistadors mines,
WILL NOT SEE A PENNY/PESO/BOLIVAR/or whatever currency..!
GREED UNBRIDLED RULES THE WORLD..!
Why would you even tell anyone? Keep your mouth shut and find a buyer who is willing to pay big money.
Finder keepers
If Columbia wanted it so bad why didn’t they go after first? Someone else recovered it. They should be able to keep it.
I would have melted that down so quickly and not said a word to anyone
If the government wanted it,then why didn’t the government go after the booty themselves.
Who wants a bunch of old pennies wtf
Is it reparations talk
Bullshit it belongs to whom ever found it
The booty!!!!!! 🤣
Everybody are such greedy fucks. Sick of this planet. The “treasure” goes to whoever that part of the ocean has been claimed by.
The "booty" 0:49 gold booty
🪙👀😂😂😂
Nice find
Well, Spain started it so why can’t others make claim to it base on baseless claims. There argument over claims to this gold is ridiculous. Finders, losers, keepers.
Give it to the indigenous ppl . Europe have took enough.
It belongs to Spain. Or Declare war and see who wins. I’ve popcorn ready for the show
Give it back to Spain it’s clearly theirs cuz it came from they’re land… Why y’all white people in America wanna own everything 🤦🏻♂️🚮
To add toward Vinsternator40; if your ship sinks in another territory, it is there for that territory’s keeping’s and discretion of distribution of royalties and valuables, period
"Come 🙄 on"…really reporter lady?
That gold belongs to my ancestors of the America’s, stolen by the Spaniards
Yeah just keep your mouth shut. That’s what I’ve learned
The white lady in the end lol
XRP…. get ready
should go to Columbia museum. That’s a part of their history from the conquistadors
Finders keepers !!
The treasure belongs to whoever owned the ship .
Lmaoo the pirates still exist today, that’s the thing. He shouldn’t have told anyone.
It’s not unknown it is Spain’s give it back to Spain
And besides they lose that treasure when it was sunken, which anyways is Gold Stolen from other countries they took by force.
You can have the gold or you can have the fame,
but you can’t
have them both ! 👈🤠
more likely douse spain treasures were stolen from mexico and all and south and central america by de conquistadores so don’t give a dime to douses bastards
It belongs to the Colombian people
@ 2:06 C’Mon lol whoever found it should keep all of it foh
Finders keepers.
Let those who want it pay for it… If the finder wants to sell.
