#1 If they had used a nuke sub to hunt for treasure the Spanish would never have know they were within a million miles of them.

#2 A judge in Florida last month ordered Odyssey to tell Spain the exact location of the wreck. The information will remain confidential to protect the interests of the company, which fears other treasure seekers may poach its find.

Hell, just let that happen and watch the show as the Spanish either have to expend the resources to protect "their" property or by failure show that they forfeit said claims on it.

#3 Odyssey argued that the fact the coins have been identified as being Spanish does not mean they were found on a Spanish ship.

As Sir Francis Drake and other English sea dogs [and Spanish records] could attest to.

BTW, when will the representatives of the Indians of Mexico and South America get their claims in for stolen resources?
