This shipwreck's gold, silver, and emeralds helped spawn a golden age of piracy in the Bahamas and excavators keep finding more treasure
Briefly

"The Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas sank 368 years ago, and in that time, pirates and treasure hunters have looted a significant portion of its riches, leaving experts doubtful of finding more. However, discoveries since 2019 have revealed over 10,000 artifacts including gold chains, silver bars, and emeralds, highlighting the continuous potential of archaeological ventures along the Bahamas."
"While much of the treasure has been lost to time, AllenX's findings suggest that there is still vast wealth buried beneath the sands, potentially worth millions. The ongoing exploration affirms a belief in the site’s historical significance and promises further insights into the region’s past, especially regarding piracy and maritime life in the 17th century."
