Clump of 4 Spanish colonial (?) bust 8 reales of Charles III, unique for this wreck. 143.3 grams total. Fallen stack of three puffy "biscuits" (coins cocooned in oxidation), one with two coins inside (which you can see from the side where a small piece of the cocoon was chipped away), with lots of orange spots, a neat little display and the first of its kind we have ever seen from this wreck. Recovered from: Hartwell, sunk in 1787 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa
