Stolen 1715 Fleet Gold Coin Recovered at CSNS Show

Coordinated efforts by five dealers and a specialist collector at the recent Central States Numismatic Society (www.CSNS.org) convention near Chicago led to the recovery of a stolen sunken treasure gold coin and the arrests of two suspects who reportedly offered the coin for sale at the show on April 24, 2026...

The chain of events at the convention started when the suspects tried to sell the gold coin, according to dealer Tony Gryckiewicz...

the actual owner of the coin was on the phone with Schaumburg Police to file a theft report. Once that was completed, police approached the suspects, asked how they obtained the coin, then arrested them and obtained a statement from Gryckiewicz.

The early shipping and Atlantic currents were closely linked, with the latter influencing the routes and strategies of maritime exploration. The Atlantic winds and currents, particularly the westerlies and trade winds, were crucial for navigation and trade. These currents allowed sailors to traverse the Atlantic Ocean more efficiently, facilitating exploration and establishing trade routes. The understanding of these currents was a significant factor in the Age of Discovery, as it enabled European explorers to reach new territories and establish colonies. (Wikipedia)

It seems everything in the world is connected if you manage to find the connection.

Scientists discovered 4,000-year-old burials of women—and the weapons they wielded.


The article says the following is what you'll learn when you read this story.

A new study analyzes the contents and remains found in 57 Bronze Age underground tombs, known as hypogea, in modern-day Portugal.

Surprisingly, women were adorned with more grave goods than men, and they were also buried with weapons.

This find adds to growing evidence that women warriors existed in many times and places in different cultures.


That might seem like a handy summary, but it might contribute to laziness and prevent readers from actually analyzing and concluding for themselves.  There is a good possibility that I might actually have other thoughts and conclusions that might be very different, but if I'm a lazy thinker, I might just fall in line and accept what they are telling me without any effort at all.

The article seems to suggest that buyers believed that American gold coins were minted only from newly mined American gold.  I don't think that most coin buyers ever gave a thought to where the gold came from, but I might be wrong about that.
