Dive belt made from lead sheathing from the ship, as pictured in Flash of Gold. 18 lb, 35" long, each weight 3-1/3" wide. In a stroke of 20th-century ingenuity, Marty melted down pieces of the ship's lead sheathing and molded it into three form-fitting weights, which he attached with brass rivets to a canvas belt with plastic fastener, now a vintage relic with added significance. Pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection, and pictured in his book. Recovered from:Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys
