Buried treasure! Gold! Pirates! This is the stuff of which dreams are made. In numismatics there are many stories of coin treasures that have come to light, most often under circumstances a bit less exciting than written in buccaneer lore, but often quite intriguing. Typically, notices of such finds have been reported first in newspapers or other popular periodicals, often with incomplete or inaccurate information. Want to read more??? Buy the book!!!! :-)
