RE: Who Really Found North America? [til]
If the coins were found 1840 to 1987 what's to say they weren't brought over in years just prior to 1840 and possibly afterwards. Possibly by collectors in the old days. Just thought I had when I skimmed through. Like the content tho.
Exactly. The year the coins were coined doesn't place them in a new continent.
Thanks for commenting this, fair point. However, that is why this is a theory. I wonder if Professor Mark McMenamin has addressed that problem. I am sure he would not publish his findings unless he had evidence to suggest that it had aged in North America. I am glad you liked it.
I was actually just thinking too that depending how deep they were found and possibly using the earth layer technique.(Not sure what thats called) They could get an idea of when the coins had dropped there.
Fantastic point, my dad was just telling me I should research the context of their discovery.
