71 tons/142k# of platinum found off cape cod current spot value $3 billion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te-otf50W60&feature=fvsr
They have found the ship, but is there really platinum there? And if there is, how difficult will it be to recover? most all of the treasure ships we have heard about have been wooden hulled ships and the ship has decayed away leaving fairly easy access to the treasure. With a steel hulled ship the treasure is still inside there somewhere and going in after it is not going to be an easy matter.
