https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/16th-17th-century-bronze-navigational-510894322 says here in the description of these dividers that there are only 3 known examples connected to the 1715 fleet....thats how special they really are !! Now there are 4 !! Still blowing my mind !!

Crap! I did not know that Blak Bart, appreciate the link and the heads up. ATB
 

Wow amazing find Floridson and congratulations on the banner.

Crazy to think about last time it saw daylight.
 

What a great piece of history!
 

Truly AWESOME find Floridason!!!
Congrats on the find & making banner!
 


I am not sure "your getting the picture". :)

Note those little yellow things next to the dividers in the picture I posted ? ? ? ... um.... yeah.

Go back ASAP.

What's there today can and will be gone tomorrow... at least gone from your reach. FOR...no 2 days are exactly the same.
 

Outstanding find and Banner material for sure. :icon_thumleft:

Salute to you sir :occasion14:
