That was the hurricane that cut “Last Island” (a resort) into several pieces.

C for Charlotte, D for Dahlonega. As for rarity, I would direct you to Yeoman or the equivalent.

I tried to post this yesterday, using the URL for the Lafayette paper story. It was refused by the FR system or monitor because it was also on the AP wire service.

I didn’t use AP anywhere in the heading as you have, how did you get this through?

Thanks fishhound. Think this might be a GGG topic.

Thanks for the ping fishound. I remember several years back, a big storm surged the beaches and folks were finding Spanish dubloons on Melbourne beach in FLA.

I found it on the AOL news site. And posted it as I “AOL/AP” in the source field and it worked.

I told you not to sink that ship so close to land.... :o]

I attend auctions frequently. One auctioneer uses a phrase, " Boys! You just can't find 'em !", whenever there's a rare or what he'd like you to think is a rare item.

I'd imagine he'd be going ballistic over these coins.

Thanks for posting this.

Right you are. Take a look at these images of coins from Alexander the Great:

I was watching the History Channel earlier with a piece of the SS Central America wreck. The finders that raised the 1857 gold took ten years in court fighting 30 some insurance companies to claimed they had paid out claims for the losses.

The company that brought up similiar treasure....only dated a little later than this one, ultimately got 92% of the value!
