saw this on the facebook news :) thought you treasure hunters might get a kick out of it.... what a find hey

Colombia has announced it has found the shipwreck of a storied Spanish galleon laden with gold, silver and precious stones, three centuries after it was sunk by the British in the Caribbean.

President Juan Manuel Santos declared that "this is the most valuable treasure that has been found in the history of humanity", speaking from the northern port city of Cartagena, close to where experts made the hugely valuable find.

I wonder whether Spain will be claiming it as their own, especially after the last treasure find by the US led mob.
