#Treasure: Gold worth $250K found near shore of Florida coast

Brent Brisben owns the 1715 Treasure Fleet Queen's Jewels salvage company. This weekend, he and his crew of three found 48 gold coins that date back 300 years. The coins, called escudos, were part of the treasure aboard a fleet of 11 Spanish galleons wrecked by a hurricane off the Florida coast on July 31, 1715.
