Sunken treasure. The stuff of legends, intrigue, adventure. Fidel Castro once proclaimed, "No one will take Cuba's treasure. It is the heritage of the Cuban people." As a result, there has never been any treasure hunting off Cuba, considered the mother load of treasure troves. Now, as Cuba's economic woes deepen, Fidel Castro has suddenly changed his mind and turned gold hunter. And he's giving Canadians first crack at the booty.
