A diver just stumbled upon a bounty of ancient coins off the coast of Italy.
Cultural ministers believe the that find could point toward an unknown lost shipwreck in the region. The bronze and copper coins were originally minted in Rome.

Here we go again, with all the time I spent diving in that area the best I found was rusty Efes beer cans.

Don't feel too bad. I went fishing on the coast of Cape Maeda on the western side of Okinawa, and the only thing I caught...
Was a rock...

Its always amazing when the sea gives up her secrets. I'll bet divers have been through there hundreds of times without ever seeing a thing. Then a tide shifts, and a discovery is made.
