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.
SINTESIS HISTORICA DE ALGUNOS NAUFRAGIOS
 
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.

So cool! I will be back to read the links more thoroughly, especially the first one.
 
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.
