help with interesting I.O.s

[GatorBoy]

Sorry about the misspelled tile...I had boat motor on the brain.........This is an interesting piece I dug yesterday on a Treasure Coast shipwreck beach.
Not magnetic.
I would like suggestions on how to go about making these...what appear to be three... items visible.
For some reason I decided to shake it next to my ear and "somthing" is rattling.

Place it in your toilet bowl tank and let the fresh water shed the layers.

I have it in a freshwater electrolyte solution.

GB,
On which side of your ear did you experience the 'rattling'?

 

[GatorBoy]

Haha.. I wish I thought of that one!

This thing is probably going to be junk.. but man is it making me wonder.

Did it sound with your detector or was this an eye ball find as you were digging something else? Ifso, being familar with your detector... what did it sound like?

 

[GatorBoy]

It sounded fairly loud.
Its was in the edge of the trough where the heavier material was gathered.
I was between large waves so I didn't have any time to pay close attention ..just dug like a madman and actually got hit by the next wave..I anchored my scoop in the bottom and rode out the wave washing both directions then retrieved it as the water left again.
I checked the signal once up on dry sand.. it jumps all over the place.
I find alot of iron and steel pieces on that same beach and they don't do that to my machine.
I found several that day and they didn't sound like this.

 

[GatorBoy]

I just checked it again.. The most consistent numbers are 85-99
More often then not it sounds like iron even when showing those high numbers... but it shows double zeros more than anything.
No reaction from a magnet.

 

[GatorBoy]

Sure is a provocative looking thing to find on a shipwreck beach.
I'd be more impressed if there was at least some green showing.

Let us know how it works out……..my being impatient would break it open………but that would be bad.

 

[GatorBoy]

Will do.

Did you get that stuff out of their yet?

 

[GatorBoy]

Yes and no..
One silver earring or maybe even a section of rosary with a stone in the center barely recognizable and the other two larger round objects had deteriorated away to the point where there was nothing left but a crust of whatever they were.

 

[tarpon192]

What do you think caused the rusty looking color?

 

[GatorBoy]

I don't know the exact way to explain the chemical process but I know most of the reales that came off the Jupiter 1733 wreck were rust colored.. I'm not saying that is what they were I'm not sure ... Mineralization in the surrounding sediment or a type of metal that deteriorated close to them would be my guess.
I know sometimes cleaning copper pennies together with other coins will turn them red.
