How many cannons were found from the Atocha?

[TheStoryTeller]

Were all 20 cannons from the Atocha ever found? Or just the nine cannons that Dirk Fisher found in 1975?

Conversely, were all of the cannons from the Santa Margarita found?

There have also been smaller swivel guns/versos recovered, but varying accounts of how many (4 to 8).

I doubt they have all of the everything from the Santa Margarita. It broke up in the surf and so far only a 23 foot long hull section has been located and recorded since 1980. It's spread over a much wider area and the general whereabouts known and bits salvaged since the 1620's. How much was already found or remains to be found hasn't been tallied up that I can find in a quick looksee.
