US treasure hunters seek billions in platinum from shipwreck (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16874999)

QuoteThe crew of the US explorer ship Sea Hunter has pinpointed the whereabouts of a shipwreck from World War II, which they believe contains $3bn (£1.9bn) in platinum.

Greg Brooks, the head of Sub Sea Research, says his team is determined to use a remote controlled underwater vehicle to recover the lost loot, which fell to the bottom of the ocean near Cape Cod after a German U-boat shot a torpedo at a British freighter.
