Underwater Recovery

This is a huge haul:


Deep-sea explorers said Friday they have hauled up what could be the richest sunken treasure ever discovered: hundreds of thousands of colonial-era silver and gold coins worth an estimated $500 million from a shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean.


I never cease to be amazed at underwater recovery and archaeology - talk about a single subfield that has changed the way we look at the past!
