what ever happened to the law of salvage. they should be able to keep it or get a good % of its value, like 50 %.

What I don't get is, this was claimed to be found in international waters and they are not even sure if it is the Mercedes.

Common sence would dictate that Spain provide proof that it's indeed the Mercedes and that it is in territorial waters, short of that, I'd say they can pound sand and the loot stays here.
