Florida authorities announced a collection of 37 gold coins that had been stolen from an 18th Century shipwreck and valued at around $1 million were recovered. A professional treasure hunter has been charged with dealing in stolen property in connection with the case, with the theft having taken place in 2015.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission called the recovery a "major milestone in a long-standing investigation into the theft and illegal trafficking of these priceless historical artifacts." The coins will be returned to their "rightful custodians," the agency said.
