The details at the moment are sketchy, but reportedly there has been a discovery of tens of thousands of 4th century AD Roman bronze coins off the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia. They are thought to be possibly from an ancient shipwreck. They were spotted by a diver who noticed metallic objects in the sand.

At the moment, I am unsure the authenticity of these photos released by the Italian Culture Minister.
