<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 2019983, member: 34720&quot;]Though the island and the mystery surrounds it is fascinating... We must all sit back a moment and really think about what the show is presenting us as &#039;evidence&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finding a coin (or two) that predates the assumed &#039;Money Pit&#039; creation is not evidential proof of the makers of the pit. Yes.. It is a coin from 1652... How many years did it take to make its way to North America... When was it dropped? Literally, anytime after 1652... It could have as easily been a pocket piece (good luck charm) carried by any one of the hundreds that have visited the island looking for treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>One example I would use is this... I&#039;ve seen a few people in North Carolina discover Hammered Coins from England that date to 1300 - 1500AD. Does this offer proof that the English were here earlier than the records show? No... More than likely, someone dropped it or lost it much later.. much closer to modern times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though I enjoy the show... And the mystery is one I continue to follow.. I think the guys are really reaching. I&#039;m not convinced that the coin(s) they&#039;ve discovered prove anything at this point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Find that coin 140 Feet down in the pit... THEN I&#039;ll be a believer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
