[PSUBS-MAILIST] sunken treasure

["Brian Cox" <ojaivalleybeefarm@dslextreme.com>]

Hi All,
          Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on exploring and
excavating sunken wrecks?  For instance what if I found an old Spanish
galleon out here around the Channel Islands in my sub at a depth beyond
normal scuba depths?  Would I be forced to hand it over to some well funded
National Geographic group?  What if I wanted to document the site and map
out the wreck?  Any thoughts?

Brian
