Tricky Riddles

Three pirates, One Eye, Long John, and Peg Leg, were gambling with pieces of gold. All the winnings were piled up on the table. One Eye said, ‘I have won 1/2’ and took a large handful or two. Long John said, ‘I have won 1/3’ and took a handful. Peg Leg said, ‘ I have won 1/6’ and took a small handful. One Eye said, ‘ I have taken too much’ and returned a half. Long John said, ‘I have taken too much’ and returned a third. Peg Leg said, ‘I have taken too much and returned a sixth. The money on the table was then shared out equally and they had 42 pieces each. One Eye said, ‘I have now 1/2 of the total originally.’ Long John said, ‘ I now have 1/3 of the originally.’ Peg Leg said, ‘I have now 1/6 of the originally.’ How much was on the table originally?
