EUREKA INGOT FACTS    

  Regarding the recently-sold gold ingot from the S.S. Central   
  America discussed in last week's E-Sylum, Bob Evans,   
  co-discoverer and curator of the S.S. Central America   
  treasure, writes: "The public media, and for that matter the   
  numismatic media as well, seldom get all the facts straight.   
  The treasure was in fact loaded onto the Central America   
  on September 3, 1857, but it was at the American port   
  of Aspinwall in Panama, not in San Francisco as stated in   
  the AP release quoted by you.  The treasure,  passengers   
  and mail left San Francisco on August 20.    

  I am personally thrilled that the Eureka ingot has found a   
  new home. It is quite an artifact!"
