Too bad they can't talk.

What a tale they could tell!

Nice finds. Some of the best and worst Lima 2 escudos I have ever seen. That bottom right gold coin is interesting. It's got the old Hapsburg shield on it so it's quite old and rare in 1715 recoveries. I can't see the burgundy on it, but it might just be a Mexico 1711.

Thanks for sharing! It was a very interesting reading and seems to be really hard work. They deserve each find.
