Wondered how long it would be, watched Odyssey find it many times on Discovery

Interesting stuff. So whats the betting that the gold has gone?

For some reason, as soon as I read your title, I imagine them doing it with Jedi mind power - now that would be a spectacle

Odyssey Marine exploration got the salvage contract after bringing up the cannon, do you think they would be going if there was no gold, they are talking minimum 4 tonnes + whatever wasn't listed on the manifest

So all that golds going to America then, call me a greedy git, but shouldnt that money be coming our way, or do we not have the resources to mount that kind of salvage operation?

80% of it goes to US. We don't have the resources to do sh*t anymore, everything is outsourced to some country or other
