So my search for an 8 Reales Spanish coin from the 1600's came to naught in the Dom Rep.
I did find one only to bust the seller as it was a repo & I just happened to know a bit more about them than he did.

If it's something you must have, you might be further ahead searching on line rather than on the islands.So my search for an 8 Reales Spanish coin from the 1600's came to naught in the Dom Rep.

PCGS and NGC guarantees authenticity.
Beware of millions of reproductions.
Thank you Tangerine, I have searched on line quite a bit & most have been "Chemically" cleaned like the photo you provided which reduces their value considerably.
I like the original patina so I'll keep looking.

I'm personally more into American coins, but I've seen what you're looking for at shows.
They can range from $100 to the price of a used car. And the shipwreck salvages probably don't help the surface sitting at the bottom of the ocean for 100's of years.
They're pretty though, some of them.

Whale Gulps In A Diver, Nearly Swallows Him
Rainer Schimpf had an extremely rare run-in with a Bryde's whale, which briefly had Schimpf in its gigantic mouth. "Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the whale," he said.

Older adults who eat mushrooms more than twice a week can halve their risk of losing memory as well as language and attention skills, a key factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease, finds a new study.
The study, led by a team from the National University of Singapore, found that even one small portion -- three quarters of a cup -- of mushrooms a week may still be beneficial to reduce the chances of mild cognitive impairment.
It also improved their cognitive tests and led to faster processing speed.
"This association is surprising and encouraging. It seems that a commonly available single ingredient could have a dramatic effect on cognitive decline," said lead author Lei Feng, Assistant Professor at the varsity.
The reason could be a specific compound found in almost all varieties of mushrooms called ergothioneine (ET).
"ET is a unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which humans are unable to synthesise on their own. But it can be obtained from dietary sources, one of the main ones being mushrooms," added Irwin Cheah, researcher from the varsity.
For the study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, the team collected data from more than 600 men and women aged above 60.
Other compounds contained within mushrooms may also be advantageous for decreasing the risk of cognitive decline.

My dad took me mushroom hunting in the USA and central Europe. I remember when he and I found a passel of chanterelles. He cooked them up in butter in grandmother's kitchen. Oh my were they good. In my opinion, chanterelles are head and shoulders above any other mushroom I've had. (Disclaimer - never tried morels. Truffles taste plasticky to me.)

Morels are fabulous & when cooked right do indeed taste just like perfectly marinated tenderloin.(Disclaimer - never tried morels.)
If you're in an area that they don't grow, buying them dried and re hydrating them is a very good option as most people can't tell the difference between fresh & dried.
