That depends. Where were the cannons found? On shore or in the water?

Why people always skeptical........

Because there is no shortage of hoaxers/dreamers/liars and downright scammers around, other than that, no real reason.

Do you have larger photos?

If you have 9 bronze cannons then see the markings on them and you should be able to ID the wreck...

All the best,

If you have anchor, which I suppose comes from the same shipwreck, you can roughly get period of sinking according to the shape and form of flutes, if there is a ring or cross,and also hight of the anchor tells you sometimes something. Bronze cannons had generally lot of ornaments and engravings. You should be able to find out even the country where there were manufactured, just watch them carefully.
Good luck!

P.S.
Chagy, old sea wolf and compai, what´s up?? I have not heard from you from the moment I came back you from the last expedition ten days ago. I suppose you talked to J. and B. I am watching the other end of the rope here and I will keep you posted.
