A US exploring firm struck silver in the Atlantic. They found the largest haul of precious metal ever discovered in the ocean. 

The UK boat called the SS Gairsoppa contained two-hundred tons of silver. The Cargo ship was sunk back in 1941 by a German U-Boat.

Officials say that they're now busy planning the recovery phase. They plan to start restoring the silver by the second quarter of 2012.
