Hi guys I didn't see a spot where people are discussing South American wrecks, here is a link I found that has a list. Maybe some of you guys know more about them.

Here is a modern wreck where they tried to move tons of unrefined gold and silver on a fishing trawler lol. It says they recovered 1 ton out of 9.359 kilos which I think they mean kilotons kt. I can't find further updates on this. I'm sure the insurance company has info on it

update think they got the rest the dating of the press releases confuses me though.

Yeah heres a site that has a chart of that area, I think. I was trying to find info on a Drake ship that went down near Magellan Strait and I keep finding more and more wrecks. Tough to sail there even tougher to excavate in 80mph winds.
