The Atocha was rediscovered on July 20, 1985, by Treasure Salvors Inc; a company formed by the legendary treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his salvage teams. The wreck since its discovery has yielded thousands of ounces of Spanish Silver and Gold cobs as well as Silver bars and emeralds. The discovery of the Atocha was one of the most important discovery's of the era. The Fisher Treasure Salvage company would go on to find other wrecks including several of the ships of ill fated 1715 Treasure Fleet. Both sites continue to actively recover treasure from these wrecks and these coins are a wonderful way to add a treasure coin to your collection.
