Big clump of 1 cob 8 reales, 3 British coins and a musketball. 210 grams. Large "sea rock" with two thin coins (British sixpence and shilling?) sticking out the top right next to an exposed lead musketball, with a large cob 8R and several more British coins on the bottom, lots of orange crud and small pebbles amongst the coins, the perfect size for an executive paperweight! Interesting note: The divers tell me that the wreck was literally flattened into the sea-bed by huge boulders that roll around the site, and to get the goodies they had to dynamite the sea-bed, which generally fractured into clumps such as this one. With certificate #11091 from salvager Terry Hiron.
