Clump of 1 Spanish colonial bust 8 reales, Charles III, encrusted with the remains of an ivory lice comb, unique combination. 30.03 grams total. The coin a bit light (probably worn) but totally cocooned with white and orange encrustation with small piece of a comb, neither item unusual from a wreck but definitely unique as a clump and especially rare from this wreck. Recovered from: Cazador, sunk in 1784 off New Orleans
