Gold – not only popular with treasure hunters

The HMS Endeavour, Captain Cook’s legendary ship, has now been found.

The search for shipwrecks is a passionate pursuit. They often contain great gold treasures. In 1778, Captain Cook’s ship, the HMS Endeavour, on which he sailed around the world, was deliberately sunk. Now the ship’s final resting place has been found on the coast of the US state of Rhode Island. One of the treasure hunters is Martin Bayerle. He also found the wreck of the RMS Republic, worth billions of dollars, which sank three years before the Titanic. It still lies beneath the Atlantic waves and is home to an estimated 45 tons of gold. Bayerle is still collecting money to carry out the planned salvage operation. Only recently, a Spanish galleon containing gold, silver and emeralds was discovered off the coast of Colombia. The particularly rich ship that was lost is said to be the Flor de la Mar, allegedly worth 2.6 billion dollars. Sunk in 1511, it remains untraceable to this day. The most valuable ship is the Nuestra Señora de Atocha. Silver bars, silver coins, large quantities of gold and precious stones worth around 400 million dollars have been recovered. In the era of wreck searches, there are of course many stories of failure.

In any case, if you really want to achieve a return, you should focus less on salvage work and more on gold investments. The price of gold has currently settled at just under USD 3,400 per ounce. The USA has now become active with regard to attacks on Iran. This should push the gold price up. After all, the price of gold has risen by around 30 percent since the beginning of 2025. There should still be room for upward movement in the shares of solid mining companies that own gold, such as Revival Gold or Sierra Madre Gold and Silver.

Revival Gold – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/revival-gold-inc/ – is developing the Mercur gold project in Utah, which is ready for production at relatively short notice. The company is also working on the approval process for the Beartrack-Arnett gold project in Idaho.

Sierra Madre Gold and Silver – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/sierra-madre-gold-silver/ – started production at its Guitarra project in Mexico at the beginning of the year. The first quarter was extremely pleasing in terms of production and profit.
