A sunken ship could hold $130 million in Nazi gold. But who gets it?

It's an Indiana Jones tale come to life:

A chest in the wreckage of a sunken German ship could hold up to $130 million worth of Nazi gold. But just who owns the wreck remains in question...

It has been reported that the sunken SS Minden off the coast of Iceland contains a box with as much as four tons of treasured metal inside. The ship set off from Brazil in 1939, just days after World War II broke out, apparently to deliver gold from South American banks to Germany, the newspaper recounted. British naval forces spotted the ship and, rather than see the cargo seized, the Minden's captain supposedly sank the vessel as ordered by Adolf Hitler (supposedly).

The U.K.-based Advanced Marine Services, whose crew found the box, wants permission from Iceland's government to cut a hole in the ship's hull and remove the chest, claiming its contents belongs to them.
