Could this be from an OLD SHIP

[MelDetector]

Found these over the weekend on the east coast of Florida after Hurricane Irma. I was digging at night around midnight not really seeing exactly what I was finding. I knew they were coins and a nail in a piece of wood, but turns out they were all pretty darn old finds.

OLD SHIP OR OLD PIER

THESE are on loan by me to the Cape Cod maritime museum - bronze spikes and nails - 2 on right (1 in wood) are iron

Cool finds, Meld...I do like the chunk of wood thst appears to have come off of an old ship...definitely bronze/bronze alloy on that nail or spike, and you scored silver too! The Washington quarter is a 1940 and the Rosie appears to be '52....Im sure Irma really stirred the pot when she blew through...good digs..Ddf
