1958, a young newlywed is on their honeymoon in the Bahamas. They both go swimming at the seaside every night. One day, when the bride went into the sea, there was something stuck under her foot and she couldn't pull it out for a while. The groom went into the water to help the bride out of trouble and accidentally found a 300-catty gold ingot.
1963, in the offshore shoal near Vero, Florida, USA, two teenagers, wearing light diving equipment, are catching lobsters in the sea. They are playing and chasing. One of them surfaced and shouted, there is a monster at the bottom of the sea that emits golden light. The other asked suspiciously, "Could this be a shark's tooth?" So the two little guys held hands and got the nerve to get close to the luminous point. Two people got into the water together, only to find that it was a pile of American double eagle gold pounds, and the two children were so happy that they hugged each other. Two hours later, it was all salvaged, worth 200 thousand dollars.
It is not uncommon for this underwater adventure treasure to be ecstatic. In the summer of 969, a diver took his wife to Grand Cayman for a holiday. The couple went to the seaside early in the morning and late at night to pick up shells. That night, my wife walked in the shallow sea, only 3 feet deep, and everything on the bottom of the sea could be seen clearly. She suddenly found a shiny cross in the sand, revealing the cabin of a sunken ship below, and then pulled it with her hand and found it was full of gold and silver. The couple remained silent and began to salvage after dark. As a result, they found 152 1 gold and silver bars, a 3-pound gold plate, a gold cross full of precious stones, 300 small golden statues and other valuables. Strange to say, there is a hotel not far from here. Many professional divers go to the sea for treasure every day, but they find nothing. The treasure happened to fall into the hands of the couple who had no intention of treasure hunting.
1at the end of 974, a young fisherman named Raul Turtado dived and fished in a shoal in the Gulf of Mexico. That day, he hit the octopus with a fish gun and dragged it into the water. However, the octopus's claws caught a shiny thing, and a closer look turned out to be a beautifully decorated golden knife. he is filled with a wild ecstatic happiness. He immediately dived into the bottom of the sea ten feet deep and continued his search. Soon, he found a gold collar with two precious stones, one red and one green. The next day, Turta took these two jewels to a small town 80 miles away and sold them to a jeweler.
The news of the discovery of gold jewelry spread quickly, and many people flocked to the Gulf of Mexico. Modern treasure hunters arrive with advanced instruments, searchlights and diving equipment. There are also many lucky people who follow in the footsteps of Ecuador. They really found marked gold bars, gold bars and other jewels. According to these marks, some people think that when the Aztec dynasty died, a lot of treasures were unaccounted for, and they were likely to be loaded on ships and sank into the shallows in this area. Later, in this shallow sea, gold and silver jewelry, gold bricks and golden Buddha statues were discovered, with a value of more than $6.5438+0 million.
After the incident, the Mexican government sent troops to block the beach and prevent people from competing for treasure here. In addition, the young fisherman was arrested on the charge of not reporting to the government after discovering the treasure. However, a group of adventurers went there. They risked being arrested and dived into the bottom of the sea to continue their search.
Of course, many treasures still fall into the hands of professional treasure hunters, especially those salvage companies with advanced equipment. In 980, Iceland salvaged a Dutch merchant ship that sank 300 years ago, and found 43 barrels of gold and 4 tons of diamonds in the shipwreck. According to experts' statistics, about 60 sunken ships are salvaged every year in the world, most of which are treasure ships.
