Boaters find over $1 million of cocaine — packaged with bald eagle designs — floating at sea off Florida Keys

Recreational boaters off the coast of the Florida Keys found 65 pounds of cocaine floating in the ocean, authorities said this week, marking yet another recent discovery of drugs in U.S. waters and shores.

Samuel Briggs II, the acting chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol, said the cocaine has an estimated street value of over $1 million. Briggs posted video on social media Monday night showing the wrapped packages of cocaine being wheeled away on a dolly.

In a separate social media post, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said that "mariners in a private vessel found a package containing approximately 21 individually wrapped kilograms of suspected cocaine." Officials said the drugs, which were found in the water about 7 miles off Islamorada, Florida, on Saturday, were handed over to U.S. Border Patrol agents.
