sunken gold

Drowned pirate plunder

Sunken gold is treasure lost beneath the water, typically from shipwrecks.

The phrase evokes romanticized images of Spanish galleons, pirate loot, and underwater exploration: Divers searched for sunken gold off the Florida coast.

By extension, it can refer to any valuable thing lost or hidden away, waiting to be recovered.
