Jewelry plus sunken gold treasure, too
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/24/09
What a fantastic shop, and located just across the street from the ferry terminal, in Hamilton Bermuda. I'd seen their magazine ad on the plane, but the pictures of 300 year old Spanish gold coins brought my 13 yr old son and I in for a look. This store should be part of your Bermuda tour.
I have a few of Canadian and English gold coins, and wanted to look at the settings to turn these into necklace medallions. We are scuba divers, and seeing the gold and silver coins, many pulled off the bottom from a wreck, somewhere else, is enchanting,..or getting so close that you could touch them - imagine a 3,200 year old Alexander the Great Greek drachma in your hand!
Scuba diving in Bermuda lets you see pieces of history, albeit wrecked and under water, which would other wise be gone from view. Walker Christopher makes you think that some of that history has been brought back to the surface, and it could be yours.
