Divers just pulled a 22-pound silver bar off a 400-year-old Spanish shipwreck near Florida. Worth ~$100k. First bar recovered from that site in 30 years.
The wreck is the Nuestra Señora de Atocha — went down in 1622 carrying South American silver and gold. Killed 255 of 260 crew.
Mel Fisher's Treasures estimates there's still $120M+ in silver, guns, and copper sitting down there.
Four centuries later, the ocean's still giving it back. Slowly.
