Captain Greg Bounds is accustomed to dredging up “beer cans, fishing weights, and … garbage.”
But on Saturday, he made quite the find when he uncovered 48 gold coins, worth an estimated $250,000, off Florida’s Wabasso Beach, CNN reports.
The gold dates back to a shipwreck that occurred nearly 300 years ago, when a hurricane sunk Spanish galleons just off what is now called the Treasure Coast. Remarkably, the coins’ dates — which range from 1697 to 1714 — are still legible.
“You go out every day, hoping that it’s gonna happen, and a lot of times it doesn’t,” Bounds, who was hired by a salvage company, explained to WPTV. “But when it does, it’s just amazing, the feeling that you get.”
