Gold manicure set (toothpick and ear-spoon). 8.77 grams, 2-1/4" long. Plain flat strips of gold, one terminating in a point and the other in a small scoop, held together at the other end by a ring, no markings but clearly the property of a wealthy individual in its time because it was worth more than a 2E in gold value alone, one of several manicure sets found over the years from the 1715 Fleet but this one nicely pedigreed. From the "Cabin wreck" site, with Fisher photo-certificate #41198, featured on the cover of Treasure Quest magazine of November-December 1998. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
