CBBC Newsround | World | Robot reveals $10bn treasure haul: "Robot reveals $10bn treasure haul
Gold
A group of treasure hunters may have solved one of the richest mysteries in the world, with help from a robot.

It's thought that as much as $10bn (£5.6bn) of gold coins and jewels may have been uncovered on an island near Chile named after Robinson Crusoe.

It's thought the treasure was taken from South America around 300 years ago by Spanish sailors.

People have searched for the loot ever since, but now a robot that scans below the island's surface has found it."
