Does it get any better than that?! Great video interview with the gun expert from Pawn Stars. Firepower & armor that has to be seen to be believed. Best part though, starts at exactly the seven minute mark, when they're talking about the spanish pieces of 8. What until you hear about what a guy in Florida was doing with them, lol.

Unbelievable !!! .... what a collection .
Great video link thanks for sharing.
Very interesting!! Thanks for the link
Unbelievable video. That guy shows us what determination in a hobby can bring. Poor fella that was skipping the pieces of 8 into the surf, sheesh.
Great stuff!
I like the cap and ball pistols and the blunderbuss type weapons!
Coins are cool too.
I read the story on Kip many yrs back in how he found all those pieces of 8 walking the beach and skipping them into the ocean.
The wreck was only like 50 yrds offshore in like 20 ft of water!

Can you believe that?! That is TOTALLY something my dumbass would do! When I found my first real, my hand to god, it was worn so thin, and felt like aluminum, I actually thought it was the round pop tab to a soda can. I was juuuuuust about to toss it in my finds pouch, when I barely noticed the design on it. I think I would jump INTO the ocean if I found out I had been throwing away scores of pieces of 8!!!
