Photo of the Day: Spanish Treasure
A collection of Spanish coins and treasure sits on display in the La Florida exhibit at the Museum of Florida History located near the state capitol in Tallahassee. When the Spaniards settled in La Florida, they brought with them their riches. But the rough seas of the Atlantic Ocean had its way with the ships, sending a bunch of them to the ocean floor, treasures and all. Over the years, through the tidal currents and efforts of treasure hunters, these bounties can bee seen in museums throughout the state. The coins and riches found along the Atlantic Coast of Florida has led to the nickname, the Treasure Coast. (Photo: April 3, 2017)
