HI Taffy mike
It would be nice of you to first introduce your self in the new members board, by doing so and mentioning your interests you will get a lot more info than by posting your question on a thread that is about something else, even though the subject matches yours. Starting a new thread will get you many more reply's and you may meet other members with the same interest as you have.
Regards
Xavier

The original sources for El Dorado lost 1691, come from Fells Guide and Riesberg. These are so unreliable regarding treasure ships in S and W Wales that they are not worth time and effort following up. If you want to research something worthwhile, there was in April 1677 a Lion Figurehead and wine and brandy casks washed up Porteynon to Oxwich. Figurehead went to Edward Mansel at Margam, then to where? I have failed to find out which ship this was, perhaps someone else will tell me.

This reply is to the question what is a German coin 1754 doing in the Cefn Sidan to Laugharne area? Here is one possible link.
It could have come off an American sailing vessel incoming from Virginia or New York. One such vessel was the Anna Maria lost on Pembrey with all crew except for Mate and one sailor in March 1763. I say this because for the previous one hundred years the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam used to send their Beaver furs from the Hudson river to Amsterdam, The Dutch West India company used to dealing in Spanish dollars but a lot of these furs also went to Hamburg. Amongst the coinage returning to New York and Virginia could be German, or indeed any other European coinage, provided the weight was known the coins were interchanged. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is why you get odd coins in odd places. The above vessel was carrying tobacco to London, and like many foreign vessels intending to enter the English Channel she ended up in the Burry Estuary instead.
Regards TOM
