Scientists were gathering deepwater samples yesterday, and they placed equipment near the sunken ship that would monitor radiation levels for years...
...only treasure not up for auction at what Christie's New York called the most spectacular shipwreck sale in history was the $1 million worth of salvaged gold draped around Mel Fisher's well-tanned neck. He is the 65-year- old treasure hunter whose 20-year search for sunken bullion finally paid off three years ago, when he discovered the main cargo of the Nuestra Seora de Atocha, a booty-laden Spanish galleon that foundered in stormy seas off Florida's Key West in 1622.
