https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/16th-17th-century-bronze-navigational-510894322 says here in the description of these dividers that there are only 3 known examples connected to the 1715 fleet....thats how special they really are !! Now there are 4 !! Still blowing my mind !!

I am not sure "your getting the picture". :)

Note those little yellow things next to the dividers in the picture I posted ? ? ? ... um.... yeah.

Go back ASAP.

What's there today can and will be gone tomorrow... at least gone from your reach. FOR...no 2 days are exactly the same.

Here’s pics of mine after I conserved them... they are pictured in Marine Archaeologist Rob Westrick’s book “The Treasure of the 1715 Fleet-Search For the Queens Jewels: 300th Anniversary Edition”... Page 60
