Most of them are 1784 Mexico mint silver 8 Reales sent for a payroll in Spanish New Orleans but never made it. The story is here: http://www.elcazador.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cazador_%28ship%29 .<br />Anyway, they are available on eBay reasonably and would make good jewelry. I have bought a few over the years and have been pretty satisfied. Mind you there are sea salvage and are not in mint condition due to salt action over the past 250 years. <br />CoastConFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250561260148656254noreply@blogger.com
