Pirate ship aground ? !!

[oredownunder]

Hi members, im newbie to this site. Just getting started you might say. Although Ive been reading up and wandering along checking, measuring, studying sites or potential sites on the island where I live in the Indian Ocean for some years. found many interesting things, especially rock carvings, old treasure sites now vacated etc. In 2010 I found a piece of what I believe may be remains of a ship which it apperas crashed through the reefs adjacent to my beach farm. I would welcome any comments positive or negative. look forward to finding interest from others who might like to hop on board in any search

You may have "Nailed this Down" with the type of nails shown!

Nails are very good indicators of antiquity.

The tops of each nail shown appear all to be of the same type.

If you could show a picture close up of one of these in its entirety showing length, tops, sides and possible material?

hi thanks thought I was right on the mark because soon after I found it. Loads of people, some very high ups descended on my place with all kinds of weird high offers to buy place. I mean super weird high prices. then I found a few of them using scanners without my permission. sheud them off. Few fingers in the air to boot. anyway the nails were copper/bronze looked really rough hand made. only about 5 inches long. squared off at the head with a sort of washer holding the head in place. The commonrose head loos a lot like the nails. appreciate your comments. Am a bit bamboozled as I get readings very strong in many places in my yard. I am not used to minelab so I am having some problem deciding just where or how to start. always willing to listen and share success.
