Treasure Worth $4.5 Million Discovered in Florida
Florida: Treasure hunters have found a cache worth $4.5 million, including nine rare coins. "The gold coins look like they fell into the water just yesterday," said the diver who discovered the treasure.
This week, one of the most valuable treasures ever found was discovered on a Florida beach: 350 Spanish gold coins valued at $4.5 million, including nine rare 'Royal Escudos,' which are believed to belong to the shipping company '1715 Fleet - Queen's Jewels.' It is thought that this precious treasure was lost by the shipping company approximately 300 years ago when their ships, traveling from Havana to Spain, sank during a hurricane.
The treasure was discovered by three divers, including 51-year-old William Bartlett, who remarked that the gold coins look as if they had just fallen into the sea yesterday.

So this time, due to such a substantial sum, it's truly time for celebration for Bartlett and his team.
