Spend a lifetime hunting, a man with treasure of USD 300 billion in the seabed

A large treasure of 300-year-old pure silver bars, each weighing more than 36kg worth nearly $ 80,000 has been found by a group of treasure hunters on the seabed.

Hunting treasure off the east coast of Florida, America can turn anyone into a millionaire with just one discovery.

News 6 recently reported about treasure hunter John Brandon from treasure hunting company 1715 Fleet Queens Jewels LLC.

Accordingly, Brandon began hunting treasure with Mel Fisher since he was a teenager.

Each bar is pure silver weighing more than 36kg.

Over the years of treasure hunting, Brandon said he found the number of antiques with a total value of 30-40 million.

However, he was not allowed to keep it all.

Accordingly, the state of Florida holds 20% of all new, unique antiquities . Besides, the rent for boats and divers that Brandon spent is also very expensive. Historians and archaeologists also need to hire in most important treasure hunts, Brandon said.

Sometimes, it will take decades to find all the spoils from a specific shipwreck.

In this case, Fisher and Brandon took 17 years to find the spoils of the legendary shipwreck Nuestra Senora De Atocha in the Florida Keys. But this hunt has been rewarded.

The treasure hunters have found treasure beyond their wildest dreams, including a huge pile of 300-year-old silver bars . Each bar is pure silver weighing more than 36kg. Brandon said that today, each bar is worth nearly 80,000 USD (nearly 1.9 billion VND).

According to many sources, the coast of Florida off the Atlantic Ocean is a busy trade route from the Americas to Spain. Giant cargo trains of Spain once transported large quantities of precious items through this route. And the big storms sank many ships here.

In addition, Brandon said, the billions of dollars of the ship's spoils are still being found gradually.
