Note:
From the RILL cove wreck. Recovery of this ship is known by two nicknames either the "Rill Cove Wreck" or the "Lizard Silver Wreck" which indicate the location of the wreck off the coast of Cornwall, England. Neither the name or the nationality of the ship is known and even the date of the sinking is not certain, however, records of its local salvage began in 1618.
After discovery of the wreck by Ken Simpson and Mike Hall in 1975, some 3,000 coins were recovered
