  • Yep Me too! They gave it a few hundred years. And it be finders keepers. Mel Fisher went through this with the State of Florida!
How do they lay claim to what they be to lazy to look for?

The Spanish Gov't only cares about the $$$, obviously. They can pretend all they want about having respect for the dead sailors, families, heritage, etc., but it's easy to see through the veil of their so-called morals and values.

The salvagers did all the real work locating and recovering the treasure, and now Spain wants to waltz in and steal it.

Wait a second. What's that I smell?

It smells a little like..........PIRATES!
