Overview
- Queens Jewels, LLC, which holds the salvage rights, announced the 2025 season recovery by Capt. Levin Shavers and the crew of the M/V Just Right.
- The haul includes over 1,000 silver Reales, five gold Escudos, and additional rare gold artifacts from the wreck site off Florida’s Treasure Coast.
- Many coins retain visible dates and mint marks linking them to Spanish colonial mints in Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia.
- Experts say the condition of the coins indicates they likely spilled from a single chest or shipment as the ship broke apart during the 1715 hurricane.
- The artifacts are now in conservation, with selected pieces slated for public display as operations continue under Florida’s archaeological guidelines.
