Hello All, I have read about some shipwrecks around Vermillon Ohio and that some gold coins have washed ashore over the years. I believe this to be true but of course people are tight lipped about it which I cant blame them. Anyone ever heard of this happening? I know that there is at least a dozen wrecks there. Just looking for any information about the coins. I dont want to dive the area its probably protected by the state. Thanks Steve

She was thought to be carrying $100,000 in gold coinage in her safe and another $1500.00 in gold coinage in the captains strongbox. They have located her under the silt of lake erie. She had about 100 passengers aboard when she went down . 2 boilers exploded which killed some and burnt others. There were thirty that survived the wreck. Thanks for looking Steve

. Like I said I just wish to see if anyone has knowledge of the gold coins washing ashore. They could be from other shipwrecks also.
