That would be an experience of a lifetime to find some gold or silver from a shipwreck. I wish you luck in finding it someday. The $20 commemorative issue is really neat and would love to have one in my stack for sure. Thanks for saving me the search time for the Astrolabe, it was a very informative piece you shared. I like stuff in posts like that. History is so cool.
I do to, thanks! I'm glad someone else enjoys it. I haven't done any treasure hunting post in quite awhile so I think I'll restart them. They're interesting to research and to write. The 1985 series from the British Virgin Islands was nice, but there are 25 coins in it. I still have three I haven't found at a good price, but on eBay you can get deals every now and again.
I just wish I were ten years younger, it would make treasure hunting a lot easier. I can still dive as long as there's not too much current to fight with...
!LOL
