Two old Spanish coins found in Glen Canyon Park, which located in the US state of Utah. One of them is the year 1200 another much newer – 1660 release.
The find excited the world scientific community for that simple the reason that the Spaniards appeared in the area only in 1776, and even then their paths ran far from the current Glen park Canyon.
And all kinds of assumptions and conjectures began to be built, especially after archaeologist Glen Harmon confirmed authenticity of coins. Someone believes that they have already been lost significantly. later European sailors who loved to carry in their pockets for good luck old coins, someone believes that these are traces of trade relations Spaniards with local Indians, someone generally falls into fantastic assumptions about the time machine and time portals.

In our opinion, the most sober thinker in this case was Royal College London professor Dr. Rory Smith, who suggested that these coins were lost in the park collector. This is indicated by many data:
- in use, and therefore, obviously, in the treasures you can’t find coins with such a big run in release dates;
- a Spanish settlement that could once leave data coins, located far from the park where artifacts were discovered;
- coins were found in the topsoil, as if they had been lost recently.
Is this not happening in our society and with all the others unusual finds and mysterious phenomena that also generate all sorts of versions, often fantastic and even mystical. And in fact, the reason or truth may be itself commonplace …
