“On July 20, 1985, U.S. treasure hunter Mel Fisher discovered the sunken treasure of the Spanish galleon, Nuestra Señora de Atocha. The ship was part of a fleet of Spanish ships that sank in 1622 after sailing through a hurricane. Fisher spent nearly 17 years searching for the wreck but it proved to be worth his time. In total, more than 40 tons of silver and gold were recovered by Fisher’s team off the coast of the Marquesas Keys, a small group of islands about 30 miles west of Key West, Florida. The treasure was worth roughly $400 million.  To mark the 30th anniversary of the discovery, Guernsey’s auction house in New York will be auctioning off some items from the Fisher collection.”
