<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 2891779, member: 80148&quot;]I have been to many, many seaports around the world. If you are going ashore in a place like Jamaica, hire yourself a good short pilot. That is a local who can serve as an all purpose bodyguard and guide. In Peru and Chile many of them were deaf and dumb, which cut out the language barrier. If you are looking for coins, get him to take you to antique shops, junk shops, pawn shops, etc. a bit off the beaten path, and ask about coins. Many of those type shops will have a cigar box with odds and ends which can often be bought quite cheaply. I got several coins from the 1700s that way. I bet there could be some old pirate type coins found there in the Caribbean, A? Beware of fakes goes without saying. Don&#039;t flash a roll, be ready to haggle, maybe take a friend along, and make sure your shore pilot is not going to roll you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
