tesoros piratas recuperados

This refers to the treasures contained in pirate ships and Spanish ships of the 17th and 18th centuries that sunk in the Caribbean with gold and silver extracted from Mexico, the Caribbean Islands and other places in America.

Nowadays divers search the bottom of these waters for sunken treasures, and when they find one ship, they can recover and clean (scavenger) the content of the ship and sell any treasure (bounty) that the find.
Example sentence:

Cartoons usually depict pirate bounty sites as marked with an X on a map

neutral Jose Arnoldo Rodriguez-Carrington : No necesariamente de la profundidad del mar, puede haber estado en alguna "isla del tesoro"
