A Spanish galleon went down in a 1622 hurricane with silver, gold and Colombian emeralds aboard. Fisher searched for sixteen years, saying today's the day every morning, and lost his son, daughter-in-law and a diver when a salvage boat capsized. The main pile was found in 1985 and valued around $450 million, after which Florida spent years in court trying to claim it and lost.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
