Yea, I've got a 1783 El Cazador salvage, as well. Too bad they only brought up a couple hundred thousand of them, all fresh from the mint (when they went down, that is) and all dated 1783. Still, it's one of my favorite coins.

Oldest coin I have found is an 1880 IH cent. It is in really bad shape though. The oldest coin I actually have is a 1702 3 Kreuzer from Austria. I do have medieval Islamic silver but have no idea what the date is.

Some Aquamarine, Ruby, Sapphire, Garnet and rock specimens some of which date back at least 100 million years or more! Some are older or younger than others but I don't have the Carbon Dating equipment to check them.
