They could have gotten Roman and Carthaginian coins anywhere in the Red Sea area. And they may have left anchor stones off our west coast.

On one side, is an ancient Japanese Acacia tree. No one has any idea of how it got there, since it's age predates the period in the 1800s when Japan was opened up for trade. I found some Pictures of the house, We have been over to visit a few times. It's nice! Sam......

He's a registered professional archaeologist. And from what I've been associated with, the work is either back breaking or extremely freaking BORING!!!! Compounded with mountains of paperwork. I'll stick to the drinking part. Last edited by kaywoodie; 10/05/16. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

One old cohort there spouts off as he eyeballed a sou, "just think,,,,, someone prolly bought their first piece of azz with this thing!"

They undoubtedly rolled off a nightstand in Milan where some owner will soon find them missing, slap his forehead and say " ehhhya whadda da fuggg???"

Either the Silk Road as mentioned or Arab trade vessels. Hell those fellas went all the way to the Philippines. Just a guess, but I would venture to speculate by sea.

Now what would be neat is to find 22nd century coins in a 15th Century castle. That would really bode well for the future of time travel. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
