My uncle used to dive off the Florida coast, now he spends more of his time in South America, but here are some of the things he has sent to me over the years.
Now I am just going off memory so don't think I am trying to fool anyone if I get the dates wrong.
Going clock wise from upper right......1799 Pillar Dollar......Almost positive the next is 1640......then bottom right is 1715 cob which I have certification for........bottom is musket ball found on beach by my mom, behind the Mel Fischer museum in the 70's........bottom left is bronze or brass nail off a ship......coins at 9 and 10 o'clock were found after the three big hurricanes like 6 years ago, one cleaned and one uncleaned, I think they are 1680?........the thing in the center is a brass or bronze hull spike off a ship.
No way I could ever find this stuff in Wisconsin.

Now I'm drooling!! With the power of positive thinking, I'll get myself one of those pieces of eight!!!
