Lead Diver Blake Baker and Captain Drake Fisher proudly display a 22.5-pound silver bar recovered from the wreck site of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha. The discovery marks the first Atocha silver bar recovered by the Mel Fisher team since 1999 and serves as a powerful reminder that treasures from the 1622 Spanish galleon are still being found more than 400 years after the ship was lost.
