<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1958786, member: 19463&quot;]My (six greats) grandfather came to America with the Hessians as a boy who cared for horses.&nbsp; He deserted.&nbsp; In my way of thinking, I assumed that the Hessians would either have been paid on account (promises to be paid in their money on return) or in king George&#039;s money rather than in German money while actually on British/American soil.&nbsp; I could see there being small change brought over by individuals but would not expect to find much in gold/silver.&nbsp; It would be interesting to know if the German coin finds were alone or mixed with Spanish or other types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
