<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1273307, member: 26030&quot;]I just did a little web research (no idea if these numbers are accurate, but this is what the web reference I found said).&nbsp; About 40 million pounds of silver is mined in a typical year.&nbsp; If the shipwreck numbers are correct ... 240 tons = 5 million pounds.&nbsp; So this find adds about 10% to the total that is mined for just 1 year.&nbsp; Add to the fact that the recovery will probably be slow due to the depth of the wreck, I think this will have a neglibilble effect on the price of silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
