All previous arguments aside, there is another factor. The depth of the artifacts could make it impossible to retrieve using scuba divers. The recreational limit with scuba is 130 feet. And even the most technical divers go to about 300 feet which includes long periods of decompression stops on the way up. I don't know how far off shore they dropped the dies which would determine their approximate residing depth. If such an endeavor were to be undertaken, a submersible or ROV would probably be used.
