| In 1800, a fisherman, John Richard, found a quantity of gold moidores and doubloons among the rocks here. |
| A number of Spanish pieces-of-eight and moidores were dug up at Castletown, whilst excavating for enlargement of the Earl of Derby's wine cellars. |
| They acquired the cargo including jewels, 40,000 gold moidores and a diamond studded gold cross, intended for King of Portugal. |
| He sent me also five chests of excellent sweetmeats, and a hundred pieces of gold uncoined, not quite so large as moidores. |
