It came from the wreck man 1715

I think it's cool weather valuable or not! To think it was most likely on the treasure fleet ships that crashed....sad but awesome

Pretty cool! Seems to be in good shape, assuming here that it has been in the surf, or thereabouts, for that long. Just curious if you have found other items from that particular wreck in the past?

 

[old digger]

Good for you! Nice Find!

 

[GatorBoy]

It is in rather good shape a couple of the edges are more worn than others I think maybe it was broken and uncovered just recently we had some larger surf.
Here's a few pieces from the same exact area



That's the piece I found today I'm holding next to an olive jar rim from the same area




















I don't have a lot of photos at the moment these are from the same beach

 

[redbeardrelics]

Even more cool ! I assume those are maybe pieces of cobbs, cut silver, and period GOLD !?

 

[GatorBoy]

They are cobs they're not cut from 8 reales.. Just pieces taken from an ingot cut to the proper weight and struck.
Salt water and the elements in the ocean are really tough on those most beach found cobs are very underweight from their original form

It was a very exciting year this past summer dive season..
This was all found by Captain Eric Schmidt and crew just down the road from me

































This is Bonnie Schubert.. Great lady this was a few years back same small stretch of coast line


Mel Fisher cut his teeth and made a name for himself here finding what many call the carpet of gold
