Those U.S. treasure hunters off the British coast aren’t saying where or what their $500 million gold and silver haul–deep enough apparently to require recovery by robot–may be, but speculation already is trying to pinpoint it:
"In 1641, an English ship called the Merchant Royal sank off the Scilly Islands, laden with bullion from Mexico. There is speculation that this is the wreck salvaged by Odyssey."
If that is the one, what do you want to bet that the Mexicans demand it all back?
UPDATE Nothing yet from Mexico City, but the Spaniards are going to court. They’re satisfied it’s one of their hauls from the New World.
