摘要

Vast shipwreck treasure sees light of day.rnIt was sunrise on an August morning when a fisherman and his crew cast their nets from his trawling vessel some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. While trolling the depths, the net suddenly got caught and the captain could only dread the lost time and money that the damage would bring. As the tattered net emerged from the ocean depths, he spied what appeared to be clumps of rocks weighing it down.rnAs the net hovered slowly over the deck, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The captain quickly realized they had snagged a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.
