Bilion Dollar Ship Wreck Found

'Holy grail of shipwrecks' DISCOVERED: Robot finds £12.6 BILLION haul of treasure
A SPANISH galleon hauling a treasure of gold and silver worth £12.6 billion, that sank to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea over 300 years ago, has been found with the help of an underwater autonomous robot.

The above article does not of course relate to Cambodia, but reminds me of a British (expat) dive master I met in SHV about a month ago. He told me of a WW2 wreck found off Koh Rong that was a Japanese freight ship, according to him, in shallow water and was identified as a freight ship from Malaysia and heading back to Japan. He told me he was in talks with the Cambo Government trying to secure some salvage rights. He said freight from Malaysia to Japan at that time could only possibly be carrying metals which he said could only be copper or gold. He said if only copper it was still worth millions.

Re: Bilion Dollar Ship Wreck Found
I have a old map which shows where another shipwreck is . It is estimated at having Billions of dollars worth of gold, silver and jewelry on board . All I need is a few hundred thousand dollars to undertake further research, or I am open to offers from persons wanting to buy this map.
This is a once in a lifetime offer and will end on Saturday.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I've got a hunch they weren't looking for MH370 in the Caribbean Sea.
