April 4, 2009: Blackbeard's Booty
Don't bother calling, it's not that kind of booty.
Blackbeard, you know Edward Thatch/Teach, around 1700, pirate, Arrrrrr? Well it's not really booty because that's treasure, this is more like Blackbeard's stuff. Quote:

The corrosion on the piece of silver is easily removed. All that gold would fit in a thimble, and since it was found mixed in with some lead, scientists speculate someone hid it in the ammo locker. Link

I think that's 22 feet of water then the ship is buried in the mud and sand, but it's a lot easier than in deeper water where they find most of them. They've been working on it for a dozen years so it can't be too intact.

What was Blackbeard doing in North Carolina?
ETA: Okay I see now that he operated in that area; for some reason I didn't imagine pirates up there.

The OBX were popular with pirates - dangerous to navigate and no people around.
Today it's a popular tourist destination. edit: Oh, here's a great link...

After he blockaded Charleston, SC, he was pardoned by the Governor of NC, but the Governor of VA had him killed anyway.
