Lost Nugget.

It would not be very surprising if during the twentieth century some way should be devised to recover a monster gold nugget that lies at the bottom of the Atlantic. It was shipped from Santo Domingo to the king of Spain 400 years ago as a tangible proof of the value of Columbus’s discovery, but was lost in a storm together with 30,000 ounces of smaller golden specimens.
