Florida treasure hunters find 300-year-old coins

Two Florida residents made an amazing discovery on the state’s Treasure Coast. The men were metal detecting on a public beach when they discovered 22 Spanish coins believed to be from a shipwreck more than 300 years old. The silver is estimated to be worth about $6,000 in all and, because they were found on land and not in the ocean, they won’t require a permit to keep their prize.

This is a big hobby for old folks in Florida.
I have watched them walking up and down the beach searching every time I’m there.

If I ever find gold coins in the ocean, I'm gonna tell everyone I found them on the beach. Please don't use this post to incriminate me!

The Spanish (Europeans) arrived 500 years ago to the Americas. 300 is actually not that old.
