Atocha Silver

In the summer of 1985, treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his divers discovered the main cargo of the Atocha following a sixteen year search. The treasure they found was valued at $400 million. Two of the couples who helped finance the search donated a block of silver from the Atocha to the Florida 4-H Foundation and the University of Florida’s citrus research program. Because of the generosity of Mr. Barney and Mrs. Hariot Greene and Dr. Eugene and Mrs. Dorothy Lyon, the Atocha treasure continues to benefit youth education through 4-H.

The Florida 4-H Foundation used the donated block of silver from the Atocha wreckage to craft a special 4-H memento for your wardrobe. Each cloverleaf pendant or lapel pin is sold for $28.04 plus tax and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the American Numismatic Association. This jewelry is not just a piece of silver; it’s a piece of history. All proceeds support the youth-led Florida 4-H State Council.
