Hmm, OK, that makes sence. So even though there must have been more eagles around, they are still very scarce and prized, not something easily lost. And like was said, it does make a nice lump of gold. Reminds me of the vast Inca treasure, most of the artifacts were melted down by the Spaniards for easy transport and conversion to coin and bar. Oh well, seems we will just have to wait till one turns up in some forgotten place, then.
