Persistence really does pay. Twelve months ago, a team of Tampa-based deep-sea treasure hunters were forced to forfeit to Spain a half-billion-dollar trove of gold and silver coins they’d recovered five years earlier from an ancient shipwreck. But the next prizes they targeted promised even greater rewards.
