How much is a wreck worth?

[Diver Down]

Is there a way to determine how much a shipwreck is worth, potentially in modern-U.S. Dollars. Say a Spanish ship was carrying 5,000,000 pesos in registered treasure, how much would that compute into modern day dollars. Now of course I realize that most of these ships carried twice as much if not more treasure being smuggled aboard as contraband, but I would just like to keep the estimate conservative. Is there such a formula?? Also how much could a bronze cannon be worth?

To be CONERVATIVE you can estimate the coins at $30.00 each or about $150,000,000.00USD
All the rest is what the markt will bear.
NO there is not a formula.
