I am a collector of almost all things, or like my wife says I am a hoarder. I collect coins, comics, stamps at one time, sports cards at one time, autographs, zippo lighters, used to collect Zach Parise signed items and Mickey Mantle autographs, etc. So if I don't currently collect something, somewhere along the line I probably have. I am into silver art bars and custom pours. Every once in a while I sell some of my collection to make room for new items. I like unique items and things that not everyone has. I wanted to share some of my collection and also help others understand some of what they have or the history behind a certain shipwreck coin or hoard. So I put together two books, so far, they are titled Shipwrecks and Their Treasures and Hoards and Other Pedigrees.
