More from shipwreck area !

[Whydah]

Went back to the area that held the bones from an old shipwreck today. Here is a picture of the Keel...Started finding quite a few more modern coins... I'd say in about a 2 1/2 hour time I plucked about 100 coins... Quite a few were Wheaties... NO silver, very odd.... Found a few more funny looking lead weights and only 2 musket balls and 1 pistol shot... I did get a nice small Heraldic Eagle pin... and some fine china from the same area that the bottle came from yesterday....Also got a few more buttons and a shoe from that time period... The leather is still in pretty good shape for an oldie... Thanks for looking...

Those items are lead, they were used to check the depth as the ship went close to sand bars or shoals... (depth finders) they were used to figure speed also (Knots)... Thanks for asking...

Thanks for the reply Whydah.
