Divers in Florida have found a number of 18th century Spanish gold coins worth about $4.5 million, the BBC reported. The coins are from a fleet of Spanish ships that sank on a journey from Cuba to Spain.
As quoted in the publication:
The 350 coins, which were brought to the surface at the end of July, turned up in just a metre of water close to the shore, buried under the sand.
Under US state law, Florida will keep 20% of value of the find.
