Not sure but I guess the usual greed kicked in somewhere with national pride and political wrangle over patrimony.

Latest news seems almost a year old now. Still navigating the shoals and reefs of the courts... Plus Columbia is going through some domestic trauma at the moment.

I am just thinking that Spain is still trying to steal it back from Colombia. Maybe they will use their new treasure salvage vessel to recover it at night. Watch out Colombia!!!!!

Estimated value of gold (200+ tons) and gems and jewelry = $1 Billion dollars !!

What if all the gold that lay in ship ruins across the world's sea floors was recovered ? Would it exceed, equal, or barely measure against all the gold mined in the 20th century by industrial machinery ?
