More than two hundred and sixty persons perished and tons of gold, silver, and other precious cargo were lost to the sea. All attempts to locate the shipwreck failed until the location of the primary cultural deposit were made by Treasure Salvors, Inc. on July 20th, 1985. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the coins recovered from the  Atocha were minted in the New World and usually have irregular shapes.
