Hey everyone I need your help. I live on the treasure coast in FL and checking out the beach today I found this interesting object. It's not a shell and honestly I have no idea what it could be but maybe emralds? Could this be from the 1715 spanish fleet that sank here ? Any ideas?!?! 20210621_153548.jpg 20210621_153534.jpg

doesn't match anything like the pictures of the raw emeralds recovered from the shipwreck scatter unless all the pics online are just pics of the better stuff recovered. I don't really know what it is, but I suppose it could be emerald bearing

Yeah, I'd have those guys looked at by someone knowledgeable enough about gemstones.
You might have real treasure...!
