Wow, VERY cool old cup kinda looks like a mid 1800's tin cup but could be much older. Must be some other cool goodies nearby.

Thanks all....Yep I was diving.....as I remember visability was great about 60 feet I believe, we often dive the area the area, but most often try to dive 30 feet or less to give us more bottom time......

The silvery appearance is lead solder, or at least I think thats what it is....
