Don't hold your breath waiting for a resolution in the sunken treasure tiff between Tampa's Odyssey Marine Exploration and the Spanish government. They're battling in federal court over ownership of an estimated $500-million in silver coins and artifacts from what's believed to be a Spanish ship that sank near Gibraltar in 1804. Lawyers for the two sides told a federal magistrate in Tampa on Monday that they expect to keep exchanging information until fall or later. So, a trial in the year-old case isn't likely until 2009, maybe later.
