<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 640551, member: 1242&quot;]jakal,</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on all of the finds and the fact that the Gold coins were produced from real...high purity Gold!</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one point that I want to make that I neglected to talk about earlier! That point, is the well known fact that there were many Counterfeiters in Europe in the 17th and&nbsp;&nbsp; 18th Centuries and I believe as far back as the 16th Century. Some of these Counterfeiters are very well known today for their works, while many more were not. It is reasonable to think that the person or persons that buried the coins that <b>jakal</b> and friend found, obtained all of the coins thinking that they were genuine. That, in their&#039; mind, they were burying a treasure for them or family members to draw upon during hard times or as an inheritance. That due to wars, skirmishes and other strife in the area during the same time periods above, the owner or owners may have been killed or incapacitated and never devulged the whereabouts of the treasure and the coins were long lost until <b>jakal</b> and friend came along. Considering the amount of treasures lost and wrote or whispered about in the Americas with it&#039;s fairly short history, it is reasonable to think that the amount of treasure lost in Europe would be 10x to 100x or more considering it&#039;s much longer history!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
