The recovered coins, worth a combined $1 million, are part of a trove of gold coins discovered in 2015 by the Schmitt family, who were contracted by 1715 Fleet - Queens Jewels, LLC for salvage operations.

A professional treasure hunter has been charged in the theft of the 37 gold coins stolen from the wreckage of the 1715 Treasure Fleet.

After an extensive investigation, Florida officials recovered dozens of gold coins valued at more than $1 million that were stolen from a shipwreck recovery nine years ago.
