And they may have left anchor stones off our west coast.

How did U.P. Copper end up in China during the bronze age?

About 210 BCE.

Over in Bercel Hungary, a friend of mine has a 900 year old 'castle'. 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,

That's a quaint little bungalow! laugh

I leave all this archaeological work to young son. 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.

Reminds of that "Indian Head Penny" song by Guy Clark. Can't help wonder and think of the story behind the coin.

Had a handful of old azz coins at a rendezvous many years ago. Like 16th and 17th century French stuff. One old cohort there spouts off as he eyeballed a sou, "just think,,,,, someone prolly bought their first piece of azz with this thing!"

The coins fell in the hole that the Fu kushima reactor meltdown made.

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???"

I would think overland via the Silk Road trading routes to China, then traded between the Chinese and Japanese kingdoms.

Just a guess, but I would venture to speculate by sea. wink

4th century coins in a 15th century castle are interesting but don't strain credulity that much.

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.

True that.

What would be really, really cool is to find some bitcoins...
