Shipwreck finds....A cob and that is not my favorite find.

[N.J.THer]

I took the kids to the Outer Banks for their Easter break this past week. I had to take the detector out. In addition to clad and common jewelery finds I was able to find a few oldies.

First is a Spanish silver cob.

My favorite find was a cluster of what I believe is pistol shot. I can see at least four musket balls. It looks like it is in wood but it seems to be petrified and may have had some nails in it at some point that rusted away. Someone suggested the musket balls may have been stored in a wood box and when the ship wrecked that some iron object was by the wood and the rust petrified it. Not sure if that is even possible. Would love to hear others theories.

Thanks for looking.
