Sunken treasure recovered

For all of you who are coin collectors, sometime in the future you may be able to purchase coins found in a sunken ship in the English channel by a company called Odyssey Marine Exploration. They recovered 500,000+ coins, about 17 tons of gold and silver coins of the colonial-era with an estimated $500 million value.

They aren't saying where they found it or what country or countries the coins are from. Most likely a 17th century merchant vessel possibly England. it was found beyond any Territorial claims or jurisdiction of any country. Nice haul.
