what is this how do I clean it

[newbieman]

Any idea what this is and how to clean it? There appears to be silver beads in it? It was buried about 18-24 inches deep on the beach. Any idea how to get all the ocean crud off and seashell without damaging what is underneath?

Maybe try the shipwreck forum?

All the best,
