Coins

They found several coins that were in mint condition. These coins were important as they provided a big clue to Dr. Nolie and his team. Only 45 minutes had passed by of them finding the first gold coin and they already had discovered a treasure weighing 11 kg.

No Doubts

He also said, “Academic arguments are all very well, but once you have literally filled your hat with an 25.5 lb mixture of Spanish and Portuguese gold coins (there were indeed swords as well), the value of the site is no longer in doubt.”

The Lost Ship

Well, all the evidence found on the site pointed in that direction only. Perhaps, they had found The Bom Jesus. They did not quit investigating and so they even came up with another interesting detail. They figured why the ship sunk. 

Collision

Dr. Noli explained it all in an interview. He said that the storm forced the ship into a giant rock. The ship bent over and lastly broke into two pieces. It’s pieces got buried inside the sea along with a box full of fortunes. So what do you think? Did they get the riches or not?   

Treasure Stayed Safe

The ship had a chest that too fell down inside the sea along with the ship. The chest plummeted from the cabin of the captain and settled on the deepest part of the sea. Luckily, the chest was well protected, thanks to the ship’s heavy part that covered the chest and saved it from the strong waves of the sea. 

Intact

Dieter Noli, said that the ship, “started breaking up and the chest with the coins was in the captain’s cabin, and it broke free and fell to the bottom of the sea intact… In breaking up, a very heavy part of the side of the ship fell on that chest and bent some of the coins. You can see the force by which the chest was hit, but it also protected the chest.”
