'I'm still diving for rare 1941 Hong Kong coins in sunken WWII ship at the age of 84'

A diver aged 84 and his old team – the youngest in his 70s – are kitting up to find treasure on the bed of the North Sea. Jeb Robinson will show there’s life in the old seadog yet as he searches the SS Benmacdhui.

The British cargo ship hit a German mine on December 21, 1941, burst into flames and sank 15 miles off the Durham coast. The steamer was taking munitions to the Far East but a 13-TON coin haul, including the rare 1941 Hong Kong 1 Cent worth thousands, may have been in the hold.

In 1946 the Royal Navy used depth charges to destroy the munitions and to clear approaches to the Humber estuary. That puts a question mark over how many coins can be found.
