re: Treasure hunters recover $50m in WWII silver from 3 miles below ocean surface

Under a contract with the UK government, underwater salvagers Deep Ocean Search (DOS) worked for several weeks searching a "jumbled up sea floor" twice the size of London, Mr Kingsford told the BBC.


If any of you had actually took 1 minute and read the article you would have seen where it said that the British government hired this team to look for the ship. There were paid a percentage of their find.
