$150 Million Dollar Treasure Found On A Beach By Accident

Millions of dollars have been found literally lying in front of people's feet, the world's beaches. From real buried treasure, to massive pearl finds, these are some of the greatest treasures ever found from the ocean!


Welcome back, Richest fans! When one thinks of the beach, they often imagine relaxing in the sand whilst topping up their tan. Yet buried under the mountains of sand, there could be some amazing treasure. Avid metal detector users are one of the groups that know the sand could be hiding some valuable goods. Often, the goods end up there due to shipwrecks. Today, we’re going to look at some of the best discoveries made on beaches across the globe! We even have a couple of examples that were located whilst diving in the shallow waters.

Now, for the spoiler section of the description. If you want to be surprised, we suggest you go straight to watching the video on repeat. One of our entries is about the biggest pearl ever and how pearls are made. Another entry is all about a dinosaur footprint that was exposed due to a British storm. We also have two World War Two pieces of history. A fighter airplane in Wales and a collection of love letters in New Jersey. Another find was in Australia with the oldest message in a bottle! Another story involves a treasure trove of antique coins found in Florida. We also have whale vomit. Yep. But it’s worth an absolute fortune! On top of that, we have a fun story on the Friendly Floatees rubber ducks and how they’ve helped scientists! Another story involves an Ichthyosaur fossil in Somerset. We also have a tale about a gold nugget that could lead to more lost goodies worth millions nearby. There’s also an ancient golden chalice found whilst diving!

What's the biggest treasure you've ever found on a beach?

[AndreyZenperial]

Gaining 420 subscribers on my YouTube channel during the very first month is quite a treasure to me😁

I like the way you narrate others take like a million years to tell their story, thank you.

I grew up not far from Harlech where the Plane was found in the sand and regularly walked on that beach as I used to walk in the nearby Pine Forest, the beach was great for Beach combing as a lot of debris would get washed up there after storms and it was quite rare for a really low tide to uncover the plane so it was visible, I think I saw it once in the 25 years of growing up in that area, the beach at Harlech actually had a large Turtle wash up, it was dead and over 9 feet long and I an enterprising Gentleman took it upon himself to seek Salvage rights to the Turtle from the Harbour master in Porthmadog (I was friends with the same guy at the time), the man did indeed get those salvage rights and sold the Turtle to the National Museum in Cardiff for £135, 000 although several stories about the Turtle don't mention that fact, they just mention the Museum "acquiring" the Turtle and not how they got it.
Since everything of value found under the ground is usually considered Treasure and belongs to the Queen (such as Gold, Precious stones, old Jewellery etc) other things such as the Turtle can be claimed by anyone with the will and knowledge to do so.
On the beach itself, usually after a storm I found cases of beer washed overboard from ships, I found (on occasion) bottles of Brandy and Whisky and several other items of value and interest, (A case of Ship flares that I had fun with from the top of the local castle on Fireworks night was just one interesting find lol).

The boy that found the golden chalice worth $400, 000. Truly amazing story.

Time to go to the beach to see if I find anything!

Awesome video, I really love the rubber duck story. My first day metal detecting I found a $1, 200 Platinum wedding band at a beach, and found the owner. Second day metal detecting I found a 1774 Spanish reale and 1797 half reale in the same hole. Needless to say, I've been totally hooked on metal detecting. A couple weeks ago I believe I found a small meteorite, but tests aren't back yet. Will be posting a short video on that soon.

Imagine if aqua man went on a treasure hunt.

[colinsmith]

That was extremely interesting. Please keep them coming.

[lequettafelks]

You're the best YouTuber ever keep on making videos please make more videos

[billyedwards]

That was cool I just bought me my first metal detector yesterday and I'm gonna start detecting as a Hobby..😁

My family had a summer house in Ontario (Canada), right on the shore of lake Erie. Just past our breakwall, all along the lakeshore, are huge expanses of exposed rock with dozens and dozens of fossils, mostly marine creatures. I recall most of the fossils are from ancient sea anemones, with long, tube- like stems, and what looks like a flower at the top. I haven't been to the camp in decades (dad sold the place), but I'm sure that the fossils are still there.

I found lots of gold rings at the beach with a metal detector but my best find was a USA button from the Revolutionary War

My grandfather once found about 12 rare black pearls at the beach once after fighting in WW2. But he didn't think anything about them and now that rare pearl is worth $100, 000 if you bring 1 in.

The heroic daring music as you were describing the journey of the rubber ducks had my ribs hurting from laughing 😂

[sirdtheg]

True story, one time I bit into a fried oyster from a restaurant nearby and it had two Pearl's inside it! My first thought was "THIS THING HAS NUTS" but a wild discovery nonetheless

When I was 13 years old in the 80's I went to a Blues festival in the Bay Area with my parents. I was walking around and found a $20 bill! We spent in on McD's on the way home to Sac. The very next year I was talking garbage with my brother about finding money the previous year and on the same Saturday (three day festivals in those days) one year later around the same time I found another $20 bill at the festival!
