The larger of this pair is a flat-bottomed cone but the smaller one is more like a plum-bob with pointed bottom, both with hole at top and both used for determining depth at sea, some very light encrustation here and there. From the mid-1500s "Pewter Wreck," with Global Marine Exploration photo-certificate #PC01306 and 2303. Recovered from: "Pewter Wreck," sunk in the mid-1500s off Santo Domingo
