I have always read that the crew asked for ballast in the form of concrete or sand and instead got 20 tons of gold and silver bars.
Nice trade up I would say.

IIRC the skipper personally oversaw the loading to make sure all was accounted for. When arrive at Pearl there was one missing, yeah 1gold bar out of a couple hundred or so. The ships was in search of the bar. Turns out it was being used by the head cook as a paperweight. If you ask me "paperweight" sounds more like plausible deniability.
