Two Spanish shipwrecks found off Colombia with over $17 billion in gold

[superpatriotman]

Two previously unknown shipwrecks have been found near a famous Spanish galleon laden with an estimated $17 billion in gold that was sunk by the British in 1708.

The San José was a 62-gun, three-masted galleon that was sunk by the British with 600 people on board in 1708 in the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) before being found in 2015 laden with gold and valuables now thought to be worth $17 billion.

I know this post will sink like the galleons, but I like the story.
