people from Spain in the 1400's brought gold and silver back from the Bah-amen islands and they got in shipwrecks and sometimes their ships would sink and all the riches would go to the bottom of the ocean .

No - this number being circulated is based upon a flawed methodology that was utilized pre 1989. At 10 parts per quadrillion tons, approximately 15,000 tons are in the oceans waters.

Use a range of 14,000 to 16,000 tons and you will definitely be in the right area
