:icon_scratch: Good evening everyone! We have a new find for you to hopefully help us with! This was found in the same area near both a Spanish and English wreck from the 1700s (found diving). Any ideas? We haven't the FAINTEST idea where to begin. It appears that there is a crown stamp on the top of the triangle piece. Odd... The other piece - have no clue - could be modern too. Cant wait to hear your ideas!!!

Round Item: Maybe a gauge cover, you can see a round holed area (Broken tab) that it would pivot on. ETA: Disregard just saw the size of it.

Triangular item: Maybe a weight for weighing goods.

My first thought when I saw the triangle was trade weight...but then again it could really be anything.

round item could be a smoking pipe bowl lid.

Round thing is a pocket watch cover I believe. The broken loop was where the chain went and the other hole was maybe where a crank or button went.

Those are really nice. I bet they are both 18th century and are going to prove to be something rare and interesting. My guess is they are Spanish

18th C padlock piece & the other piece looks to be a trade weight.

The padlock is a common UK find, & they turn up in Colonial USA. I think most are British made, but maybe the Spanish copied them.
