We found this lead off Lucaya Beach in about 15 ft in the early 70s. Can anyone help date it, maybe give it a country of origin, or any other historical info? It was in the vicinity of the known Lucayan wreck, but there has got to be more than one wreck. We also found some bronze nails and what looks like pieces of copper sheathing in the area, so wondering if that means there's a British ship out there.
It's approx. 10-3/4" long and 2-1/2" wide at the bottom. There is a slight indentation on the bottom where the tallow hollow should be, but it has probably worn down over the years. It weighs just under 10 lbs.
