Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (NASDAQ (CM): OMEX)
Overview
Gone are the days of one-eyed, peg-legged buccaneers counting their steps to where X marked the spot of some long-lost treasure. Enter Odyssey Marine Exploration, a new breed of treasure hunter that uses sonar, magnetometers, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to locate and excavate shipwrecks. The company focuses on deepwater projects where the booty is less susceptible to damage and less likely to have been salvaged. Odyssey Marine Exploration is selling gold and silver coins and other artifacts salvaged since 2003 from the wreck of the SS Republic, a side-wheel steamer lost off the Georgia coast in 1865. Two coin dealers account for more than half of the company's revenue.
