Amateur historian Jim Bailey uses a metal detector to scan for Colonial-era artifacts in a field, Thursday, March 11, 2021, in Warwick, R.I. In 2014, Bailey, who holds a degree in anthropology from the University of Rhode Island, found a 17th-century Arabian silver coin at a farm in Middletown, R.I., that he contends was plundered in 1695 by English pirate Henry Every from Muslim pilgrims sailing home to India after a pilgrimage to Mecca.
