Hello Treasure Hunters!

Stumbled across this the other day on an undisclosed beach in Saipan, and am looking to get some more eyes on it. I realise it is impossible to verify any kind of authenticity or positive ID through imagery attached, but thought I would see what kind of opinions and possibilities the forums here would kick up. It is well known that the Spanish Galleon "Nuestra Señora de La Concepción" sank off our shores in mid 1600's and people find jewellery and other artefacts every now and then.

The entire piece is about 1 inch long, was attached to a large chunk of coral and embedded in sandstone/concretion. I imagine it ended up on the beach due to the recent super typhoon.

Any thoughts?
