Sounds like something out of the movies! 1000 ounces of gold were recovered from an 1857 shipwreck off the coast of South Carolina. The S.S. Central America was a steamship that sunk in a hurricane 157 years ago with an estimated $85 million still awaiting recovery. http://news.yahoo.com/gold-ss-central-america-shipwreck-carolina-142546287.html
