Selections chosen for the Caesars Palace exhibit are open for viewing 24 hours daily in the resort's Olympic Casino. Many of the key pieces found will be on display, including gold bars and chains, a coral rosary with a gold cross, a gold cup, gold and silver coins, uncut emeralds and items from everyday life aboard ship in the 17th Century.
