Authorities have recovered 37 gold coins that were stolen by salvagers from a nearly 310-year-old shipwreck off of Florida’s coast
Thirty-seven gold coins, stolen by salvagers from a nearly 310-year-old shipwreck off of Florida's coast, have been recovered by authorities, the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced this week.
Authorities say that in 2015, there were 101 gold coins salvaged from the 1715 Fleet — a collection of Spanish treasure-laden ships that sank during a hurricane off of Florida's central coast. Investigations revealed the illegal sale of the coins in 2023 and 2024. Using search warrants, authorities recovered the coins from private residences, safe deposit boxes and auctions.
As required by state and federal law, the recovered artifacts will be returned to their “rightful custodians.” Additional information on who the “rightful custodian” of the coins is was not immediately available.
