I was down in the Keys a few weeks ago and decided to take my visiting son to The Mel Fisher Treasure Museum. After a few hours we stopped at Fisher Family Store that is connected to the museum. Prices have really gone up. You're a lucky guy to have gotten a few when you did.
We met Mel years ago in Key West. He loved to talk and wanted me to go in with him. At the time my wife was expecting our first so I decided not to. I did, however, start buying Pieces of Eight whenever I found a nice one. Sure am glad I did at least that.
It kind of hit me in the gut when I heard that Mel died. I really liked the guy as I'm sure you did too.
Cheers, and happy hunting!
I think we paid about $100 a piece for the coins back years ago. I know they are much much more now. There is a program on TV called Strange Inheritance and a few months ago it featured Mels wife and told all about him and his treasure hunting. What a guy!
