The collection would be interesting to see.
"The collection includes coins from China, Ecuador, England, France, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. Even long-gone civilizations like the Byzantine Empire are represented in the historically significant treasure trove...Experts believe that the vast array of coins is likely tied to the number of shipwrecks off the state's coast."

Was this couple just walking the surf or detecting or both? Peace Roy

That is super cool!
I found a corroded Roosevelt dime in a parking lot last Thursday. Do you think I should start a museum to display it?
No, just post it in the US Coin section and ask if it's an error
