May, 2009. Notification was received that the Spanish Embassy had denied in September, 2008 the request of Gray & Pape, cultural resource managers of Richmond, VA. to do a non-intrusive magnetic survey on United States soil within the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. "We are therefore unable to conclude that it would be appropriate to approve this application." But after that on January 26, 2009, Spain told the federal court in Tampa that La Galga "lies scattered and buried in the sand beneath the water.” If that was true then why the denial to map a site on land? April, 2009. The model of La Galga is unveiled at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Artifacts from unidentified shipwrecks still being peddled as Spanish

Attorneys for the Kingdom of Spain filed an "Opposed Motion of Claimant the Kingdom of Spain for a more definitive statement and Other Disclosure, or in the Alternative, to Dismiss" in the Odyssey Marine Exploration case. The purpose is to make Odyssey disclose what they found and where they found it pursuant to the rules of the Admiralty Court. Spain cited as precedent their victory in the case of La Galga and the Juno in 2000. They claimed that their motion was "consistent with long standing international and U. S. law and recent case law specifically affirming the application of these principles to sunken Spanish property." Should these so-called precedents be allowed to stand if the court that made them lacked legal jurisdiction? May 31, 2007 Odyssey Marine Exploration recently brought in 17 tons of gold and silver coins where it was placed under the protection of the federal court in Tampa Florida. On May 30, 2007 the Kingdom of Spain filed a claim in that court in the event the treasure might have come from from a Spanish wreck. The news from Madrid, Spain via the AP, says that the same attorneys who represented Spain in their 2000 victory over La Galga and the Juno will pursue Spain's interest in the $500 million. Perhaps they feel empowered by that so-called legal precedent.
