Treasure Hunters Hit it Big with Sunken Spanish Gold

 
A family of life-long treasure hunters has just made their largest discovery, long lost Spanish gold. Rick Schmitt and his family have been active treasure hunters for decades, with their largest bounty valued at $25,000 found back in 2002. This time they found three pounds of gold chains, five gold coins and a gold ring estimated to be worth $300,000.  The bounty was found 15 feet under water near the coast of Fort Pierce, Florida while they were aboard their “AARRR Booty” boat. It is believed the gold treasure is some 300 years old and came from one of the 11 Spanish galleon ships that went down during hurricane season back in July, 1715.
