Cache of Sunken Coins Returned to Spain
"The US Supreme Court denied a Florida marine salvage company's appeal over $500m treasure from a sunken Spanish ship. A trove of gold and silver coins valued at $500m has been handed over to Spain following the US Supreme Court’s refusal to hear an emergency appeal from the Florida-based ocean salvage company, Odyssey Marine Exploration, which had asked the court to block a lower court decision that ordered the company to hand over the treasure. Odyssey had been locked in a legal battle over the cache since it was salvaged from international waters around 100 miles off the Straits of Gibraltar in March 2007." - Emily Sharpe
