A Spanish court has thrown out a lawsuit against American treasure hunters that accused them of having destroyed an underwater archaeological site when they looted a sunken galleon for tons of precious coins.

A treasure chest estimated to be worth over a million dollars hidden in the Rocky Mountains for a decade has finally been found. It was hidden there by art and antiquities collector Forrest Fenn. He used it to create a treasure hunt to inspire people to explore nature and give hope to those affected by the great recession. He told the Santa Fe New Mexican that the man who found the chest a few days ago wants to say anonymous. Fenn estimates that up to 350,000 people from all over the world hunted for the treasure.
