Rich,
You said that you had been all over the hull of the boat while rebuilding. So was I. I did not find it when I was working with a purpose. I found it much by accident.
Joe, I did not say in the past where I found it. I will say this much. It was intentionally placed where I found it during construction. It was pressed into still uncured resin to glue it permanently.
I would say that the hull was buillt by a crew familiar with ancient boat building customs. To me that means either the northeast or Florida west coast.
I doubt that my boat a 1985 is the only made by this crew following an old boat building ritual. They had to have at least one guy on the crew who knew the custom.
It is up to you guys to find the coins since they were hidden to prevent the casual boater from finding. Remember that we are dealing with an ancient ritual.
During the colder months up north, you guys need to study about sailing and those who sailed before you. Check this site for a beginning:

"For those of you that would argue this point for the reasons of modern divination purposes, it should be pointed out that some of the greatest runic students and authors have given sufficient rebuttals to this such as Stephan Grundy, Edred Thorsson, and others.
“As there is nothing in the runes that present an “unkowing” nature (as the very idea goes against the nature of runes themselves); the rune Peorth (P) is sufficient in giving a random element to the runes as it represents the lot cup, chance, and luck. As indicative to the Norse philosophy they believed that nothing was unknown (even greater mysteries), that the beginning of ones life and its end are pre-destined. Its how you live your life with what you’ve been given that shapes your “Orlog”, and a questing mind who would dive deeper into the nature of the runes would truly known all he needed (that and experience with…). All must make their own luck for nothing is unknown. Your fate is fixed, so make sure to act bravely and without fear.”
Think of the coin as the "whiskey plank".
