>More than $1 million worth of gold and silver coins were recovered from a 310-year-old shipwreck off Florida's Treasure Coast.
Over 1,000 silver coins, known as 'Reales', and five gold coins, called escudos, along with other gold artifacts, were recovered from the wreckage of a ship that was part of the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet, which sank during a hurricane on July 31, 1715.
The million-dollar discovery was unearthed during the '2025 summer salvage season' by Captain Levin Shavers and his crew aboard the M/V Just Right.
'This discovery is not only about the treasure itself, but the stories it tells,' Sal Guttuso, director of operations for Queens Jewels LLC, which holds the exclusive salvage rights to the fleet, said.
