In 2015, one of the most prominent discoveries in treasure history was the discovery of the Thãe San José ship at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Containing a huge amount of gold worth up to 22 billion USD, this ship is a special historical relic, telling the story of Spain’s secession and the race between England and Spain. This discovery is not only a technological achievement but also an inspiration for history and archeology enthusiasts.
In the 2007 Black Swap project, another treasure was recreated, revealing an amount of money greater than 500 million USD from the ship Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes. Although the ship was sunk by a British Navy ship in 1804, it was only after more than a decade that this treasure was discovered and brought to light. The combination of history, culture, and financial value creates a compelling story.
The 2009 Staffordshire Hoard, discovered through maps and metal detectors in fields in England, is another treasure of unparalleled value. With religious and decorative artifacts worth more than $4 million, this treasure trove opened a new page in world history and created an opportunity to look back at the past.
In addition, the story of the 1912 Titanic is also part of the classic treasure discovery journey. Artifacts such as a necklace made of 29 coins and a gold pocket watch add to the value of this treasure, opening a special window into the ancient world.
Finally, the 2017 Roman treasure trove is a recent find, as two economists discovered a valuable archive in England. With more than 300 coins from the time of Emperor Constantine the Great, this treasure takes us back to a unique period of history.
These discoveries not only help us gain a deep understanding of the past, but are also an endless source of inspiration for those who are passionate about exploring and searching for the world’s classic treasures. At the same time, they open the door to new discoveries and enrich our historical picture.
