Authorities have retrieved 37 gold coins after they were stolen by salvaging robbers from a centuries-old shipwreck off the coast of Florida, reported the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

In 2015, over 100 gold coins were salvaged from the wrecks of a series of Spanish ships that sank as a result of hurricanes occurring on Florida's coast. The ships, referred to as the 1715 Fleet, had been carrying treasure when they sunk, reported ABC Action News.
