"Mr Howes said he began the search for the module in 2011 and calculated the odds of finding it were 235 million to one."

235,000,000:1, wow, that's pretty close to a certainty of finding it...

Er, the top image isn't '10, as '10 didn't land.

Bring it home. Tell everyone. End up in court. Hire a great lawyer. In ten years you may own it. But who will care anymore?

I suspect abandoned property statutes would apply instead of maritime salvage rights. (It was intentionally abandoned.) Since Snoopy is not real property if you retrieve it you own it.

...at 15-cents/per mile, the AAA™ "tow home" costs might get out of hand (wink,wink).
