More from shipwreck area !

[Whydah]

Went back to the area that held the bones from an old shipwreck today. Here is a picture of the Keel...Started finding quite a few more modern coins... I'd say in about a 2 1/2 hour time I plucked about 100 coins... Quite a few were Wheaties... NO silver, very odd.... Found a few more funny looking lead weights and only 2 musket balls and 1 pistol shot... I did get a nice small Heraldic Eagle pin... and some fine china from the same area that the bottle came from yesterday....Also got a few more buttons and a shoe from that time period... The leather is still in pretty good shape for an oldie... Thanks for looking...

Very nice dig

Nice saves... Keep the shoe soaking in distilled water. It can be preserved and the internet will provide directions.

Wow. Kid in a candy store stuff. Did Hurricane Sandy help out? Why the modern keys? WTG

The modern keys were found close to the area where the main timbers were lying... Not sure if Sandy helped ... It's a new area to me also, but I will say I have been wanting to hunt there for over 15 years...

Hey Leighton,

Great site, and finds, sir. I think the Eagle may be a component of a GAR type badge.

The Villeroy & Boch and the Syracuse China cups are considerably later pieces, in my opinion. Does this spot seem to attract debris?

Notice the Registered Trademark symbol on the Syracuse.
