Unless I am incorrect the answer is 'flotsam' but if so coinage would sink,but Flotsam floats.please help before my head explodes!

F - first letter of find + lots ( a great deal ) + a.m. ( morning )

I think it is just being used generally as wreckage from a ship.

flotsam
ˈflɒts(ə)m/Submit
noun
the wreckage of a ship or its cargo found floating on or washed up by the sea.


8down is - Wreckage

Thank you Mamya -but on checking my Chambers it confirmed my thoughts -perhaps I am too picky over crossword clues?

Pieces of eight = pieces of eight down - Wreckage.

Now I see the light -many thanks Mamya😎
