Mel Fisher’s Expeditions continues the search for one of the largest remaining treasure caches in the world. The Atocha and Santa Margarita shipwrecks, lost in the 1622 hurricane off Key West, still hold an enormous amount of unrecovered wealth. Decades of research and modern technology tell us that a significant portion of their treasure remains on the ocean floor, waiting to be found.
The known, documented treasure yet to be recovered includes approximately 125,000 silver coins, 433 silver bars, 14 bronze cannons, 162 copper ingots, more than 64 pounds of emeralds, religious artifacts, jewelry, and additional gold and silver that were never fully recorded. The manifested treasure alone is valued at more than 540 million dollars. The unmanifested treasure is estimated to be worth billions.

The emeralds recovered from the Atocha came from the famous Muzo mines of Colombia. Muzo emeralds are prized for their rich green color and exceptional clarity, making them some of the most valuable gemstones in the world.
