Actually a story about a $22 Billion ship wreck discovery.  The jackpot comes in the form of the Spanish galleon San Jose which sunk with 11 million gold coins along with jewelry and silver.  The ship is located in Columbian waters but because it was a Spanish ship, Spain is making a claim along with a private company.


Just as a side note, at current $1950/oz prices for gold, this amounts to a pile of about 30 gold bars on each side and weighing about 700,000 lbs.  A bar of gold is about 28 lbs and 7 inch by 3.6 inch by 1.75 inch.
