After a morning's busy work, Leonard Ethan fished out two silver coins, one gold coin, and seven or eight rusty metal plates of various kinds from the shallows.
Although these metal pieces were already covered with yellow and green rust, Leonard Ethan could still judge that most of them were iron components from the ship.
As for the gold and silver coins, they all came from the Arab Empire. As middlemen on the Silk Road and as the wealthy region next only to the Far East of the old continent, the gold and silver coins from the Arab Empire were commonly found along the trade route due to their monopoly on international trade.
Although in theory, China, which was located in the Far East at the time, was the truly wealthy place, they used bronze coins which were inconvenient for transportation and not as good as gold and silver as hard goods.
