Perhaps they meant 'millenia'?

Neat find, I might even be able to dive down 18 feet!

Wow! Wouldn't mind finding one of those.

Quickly, someone contact these people and encourage them to never clean their coins, er, I mean, their chalices.

Neat find... treasure is out there.. and it goes to the diligent. And, IMO, those who do not broadcast it... because as sure as the sun comes up in the east, others will try to claim it or some part of it. Cheers, RickO

Cool, something else for Spain to claim.

I used the little box on the bottom left that reads "Send news tip to FOXNews.com"

Here is what I sent them, "Santa Margarita, which sank in 1622, more than a quarter-century ago.

A century is 100 years"
