Well Done!!!!
The value is much higher then $6,300.
With it being shipwreck gold it falls into a different category.
Shipwreck gold is usually bullion times 2 or 3 or 4 and so on
depending on the rarity of the actual wreck.
This means this one piece could easily be worth $18,900.00
at any major auction house.
Good luck and be safe :headbang:

I assume you're getting this professionally appraised and, if so, would you mind posting the estimate? This is spectacular!

If I may ask, how can you hunt that area? Are you part of the company that has the treasure rights??
Hell, I would about do that for free, just to feel something like that, or anything from 1715 for that matter, in my hands...
Psssst.... I am a certed diver, fully equipped... Ever need help, just ask... ;-)

Now if this dosen't get your juices flowing, nothing will! I wonder if this was from the flagship Capitana, a captured English ship?

Absolutely Fantastic find!

:hello2: Well Hello there Capt Golden Hawk, My computer is fried from all the salt air exposure lately and I was unable to get on here. Its nice to see you on that that Broken Chicken finding Golden Hawks. Let me say Bonnie you so deserve that find I know how much hard work... blood, sweet and tears you have poured into that boat of yours, now you are living proof that determination really pays! She is a beauty! The love and the thrill of what it is we do is the rewarding part, but to be able to do what you love is really living... I will never forget the look on your face, the tremble in your hands, and the tear in your eye when you walked in on Monday to share that with you was absolutely amazing. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now go find that other wing its waiting there for you!!! :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumright: , Troy

Amazing find. Congratulations to you Capthawk. With it being a unique find and all, does that mean the state will want it? What happens then, is Gold Hawg out of an awesome find? Still a truly great find. Keep up the good work.
