There are Treasures Worth Billions of Dollars under the Sea

I was thinking about it the other day

How many Spanish Ships sank in the middle of the sea on their way to Seville?

These ships transported treasures worth Millions of modern US dollars

Why noone has ever tried to find these galleons?

No ones ever going to find that shit

plenty of people do but
1 the equipment for scanning/diving is expensive as fuck
2. nations literallty throw nigger tier chimp fits and claim MUH treasure and try to strong arm the finders to put it in a musiem or to give it to the governments

>He doesn't know that half of us are
The first rule of the treasure hunter is not to tell people where they're looking for the treasure, user

The Spanish goverment can claim that Gold as theirs

I remember some old man in Florida once found One million dollars in Golden Coins and the Spanish Goverment tried to take them from him

There are entire black market industries dedicated to illegal maritime salvage

It's expensive to try and find these galleons which mostly have the gold spread all across the ocean floor not in some neat little chest waiting for you to open like a movie.

They're extremely hard to find. It's not like a beacon broadcasted their coordinates as they went down. The ocean is very vast and the equipment very expensive. And even if you somehow found one Spain would claim the gold as theirs.

>try to strong arm the finders
I want to watch a Treasure of the Sierra Madre movie about people trying to hide their treasure find from the government

Like maybe they have to gather and move the treasure very slowly and they can't just pack up and go home without causing suspicion?

>pirate flag
>posting about buried treasure
It checks out

Uh you do know the reason they call their treasure "booty" right?

how bad would it fucking suck to watch your magnificent spanish galleon splinter and break and slip beneath the waves in the middle of a torrential storm while you are violently swallowed by the sea

ARRRRR!


THERE BE SPANISH GALLEONS DOWN IN THERE SEA, OOOH ARRRR LOADED WITH GOLD THEY ARE, ARRRRR!

Why didn't pirates use gold to buy things they like rather than bury it?

Sounds more fun if you replace a few words and turn it into a cuck creampie fantasy porno

This

If you ever find Spanish Gold melt that shit.

If you don't the Jews from Madrid will try to take it from you

They buried it because they couldn't deposit it in banks, and most didn't have long time residences to just hole it in when they were out to seas months at a time (where someone could easily steal it)

They knew about inflation

if they tried to spend a bunch of brand new spanish or peices of 8 after a ship got raided the army would be on there asses right away. they usually exchanged it for tobbaco or pearls in small increments

Norwarchive, you should really have a pirate flag because you're "pirating" views from them. Get it? Perfect pun

I think it would be worse to see the ship sail on without you perfectly intact and able to save you but lets you frown anyway

There are actually companies who's sole purpose and business plan is to search for sunken treasures.

Odyssey Marine Exploration: www.shipwreck.net/

This one is actually listed on NASDAQ as OMEX

Colombia's military had found a few years ago a huge treasure.

The San Jose was believed to be "the holy grail of a shipwreck" with a trove that is "valued somewhere between $4bn to $17bn

aljazeera.com/news/2015/12/colombia-holy-grail-shipwrecks-151205201114165.html

Pirates, and the Spanish too, were famous for retarded spending/wasting of all their gold. Spain literally plundered a thousand nations worth of gold from the new world for 300 years. And now they are broke today.

Fucking wasted it like Mike Tyson, spent it on worthless China plates, silks and spices.

So based

there's tons of people who spend lots of money to find and retrieve sunken treasures.

You're better off finding where they buried treasured, those ones will be cheaper to recover and will be in better condition when you do recover them.

Problem is you have to be well educated and have a lot of non-accessible information to find it.

>melt down rare 500 year old historical artifacts worth more than twice their weight in gold
this is why your country is poor

People do, they just don't shout it from the rooftops like idiots. Gov always gets a slice, so keep that shit quiet

>search for sunken treasures
>check shipping lanes like the 100s before you
>cross check and calculate potential drift like the 100s before you
>pinpoint your search area like 100s before you
>buy all the gear
>charter a ship
>dive for 2 months
>end up with jack shit
>end up broke like the 100000s before you
sounds good m8

>And even if you somehow found one Spain would claim the gold as theirs.

lol good luck claiming shit found in international waters?

If you do, the Spics actually sue for it to be returned to them.

Can you imagine the gall of that shit? hundreds of years later they can claim all your hard work?

So beautiful

>tfw when the Romans killed thousands of your enslaved ancestors to mine for gold in Hispania and you die transporting gold mined by people that YOU enslaved.

I'd hire a jew and just send it to a museum (with my name attached ofc) for a tax write off. I wouldn't feel right just selling history, and if I was rich enough to waste so much time and money finding 500 year old sunken treasure I probably wouldn't need the few million it sold for

theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/01/treasure-trove-galleon-returned-spain

it happened before

AHOY MATEYS, WE NEEDA BUILD OUR PIRATE SHIP AND FIND THAT HIDDEN TREASURE! ARRRRRR!

ARRR, PIRATES BE RISIN AGAIN IN THE CARRIBEAN!

People do. Every day, around the globe.

Some guy just found a Viking treasure chest worth 3 million or so

You know the kikes will make a single replica coin out of plastic, put some gloss on it, put it in an airtight case where you can't touch it, then sell all the gold anyway?

>I'd hire a jew

Arrr matey, some jews be nice and all but I think they be up to stealin our treasure.

The treasure is probably burried under the sea floor by now. Bringing it up is not going to be easy. I'm willing to bet there are quite a few sunken ships hidden in the region known as the bermuda triangle. With modern technology the triangle is safe to travel.

Yar straight to Davey Jones' locker it went. It bring a tear to an old salty dog's eye reminiscing about fortune that never had a chance to been looted.

Yaaar

Test

Yarr, we'll get that treasure yet lad.

I just had a thought. Would it be possible to find a shipwreck using nothing but google maps?

Thats how Atlantis was found

wasted in multiple wars trying to keep Europe catholic

hate to break it to you, but they never found the fictional city Atlantis or Mermaids

t. CIA nigger

Anyone remember the astronaut that used the space shuttles instruments to find large metal deposits along these very routes....he made friends with one of those deep sea hunters before he died

I seen a mermaid, matey. She was a pink to starboard on the night watch, just frolicking there in the brimey sea.
'tis a finer thing than a flush frigate, running south against the WIND, loaded with booty.

no tell me more

>Considered one of NASA's original space pioneers, astronaut Gordon Cooper discovered something extraordinary on a 1963 mission. While circling Earth during a 122-hour flight to detect nuclear sites, Cooper photographed more than 100 anomalies around the South Caribbean. He later believed the darkpatches that appeared on the photos to be sunken ships, and while working for decades in secret, Gordon created a map that he thought could uncover treasures worth billions of dollars. Before passing away, he shared his meticulous research with longtime friend Darrell Miklos, and now Miklos is teaming with seasoned explorers and researchers to finally make good on Gordon's dream.

Literally space piracy

how the hell could you tell?
Son you're going to want to stop smoking Crack, it's Whack

We could do something similar in google earth. All we need is a few good anons and we'll all be rich.

Nothing's impossible when you're autistic!

just sell one at a time on ebay

>not being Mexican
>not pulling the MUH HERITAGE/MUH
GOLD card
>the gold belonged to my ancestors
>Spain fucks off like the lazy cucks they are

>Sell 5 thousand gold coins individually on ebay

>destroying historical artefacts for some measly gold bars
truly scum of the earth.

>the gall of claiming someone else's gold is yours just cause you picked it up
You're just a greedy fuck who doesnt appreciate historical significance.

Those rightfully belong to mexico

Actually very few sunk. Their convoy system was very effective.
Nothing belongs to you filthy indio.

guarntee you this is disinfo agent who has a treasure map trying to discourge you in your pursuit.

boo hoo hoo , cry me a river. It's not like you have Aztec blood..you're a spanish/gringo subhuman

It was nobody else's gold. The people who owned it died a long time ago.

...and they didn't just pick it up. They spent months at sea doing expensive deep sea exploration to find that shit. It belongs to them because they mixed their labor in it, not the lazy Spics

This.

I'm sure people have learned to shut up and not tell anyone and melt the shit down. I bet lots of Spanish gold has been found we just don't know the half of it.

Tell Spain to eat your ass and keep it, what are they going to do? They won't even be able to keep their own country from falling apart.

Because I'm just as likely to trip over D.B. Cooper

it's all about the gems bro. no one ever thinks about the gems

What's the point of even finding treasure when the government will take it from you and you can't even hide it from the IRS.

There's more than enough gold coins for every museum to have a small collection, were it a coin from an ancient civilization there might be a case for preservation, but to museums spanish coins are a dime a dozen, it's only real value is the gold or silver it's made of

I dropped a penny somewhere within 1,000 miles of your house. It's a special penny that's actually worth $5,000. Go find it.

The gold belongs to Peru and Mexico. The coins were illegally manufactured by melting down Aztec and inca sculptures

RETURN THE GOLD

Found it

...

now return it to me as its legally my property, not yours
