A neatly cast rectangular "rail" of silver with cratered surface that does not appear to have ever been marked (hence probably contraband), with dark toning all over, among relatively few bars from this wreck and with valuable early certificate. With original Fisher photo-certificate #500-M-80. Recovered from: Santa Margarita, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
