Divers off Florida's Treasure Coast have discovered over 1,000 Spanish gold and silver coins, valued at approximately $1 million. The coins, minted in former Spanish colonies, were part of a fleet wrecked by a hurricane in 1715. This significant find offers historical insights and is subject to Florida law regarding treasure trove ownership, with the state entitled to a portion for research and display.
