Large silver disk (contraband), 13.25 lb av (approx. 6000 grams). 7-1/2" in diameter and 1-1/2" thick. Very neatly cast disk with smooth top (no markings, of course) but rough bottom with deep crevices and curious coral encrustation that contains a rectangular strip of rusted metal, the silver lightly toned and uncorroded, very heavy and intrinsically valuable, with important pedigree, as Meylach's book shows a picture of the author underwater on the wrecksite with the ingot in his hands with the caption "Veins bulge in the author's forehead as he finds an ingot." From the Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys (Tres Puentes site), and pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection (pictured in Diving to a Flash of Gold).
