PLEASE help me identify this Golden Turtle. Found on a beach in SE Florida!!!

I was detecting one of my favorite spots in South Florida on the East coast.. I went at low tide and saw that there was a section that was cut out of the sand and like 3 feet of sand was taken away from the last time I was there. So I went to that spot and started gridding it. Was only a pass into my grid plan and I found this... I have not tested it for gold yet but I believe it is...(at least am hoping it is) It is laying on a 1896 morgan silver dollar in the picture and weighs 1.25 oz... The numbers on the bottom are what I have been told could be possibly the free mason magic box or even date back thousands of years in china, india, and middle east... It was all absolutley hand done and it seems to be extremely old...

As soon as I got my hands on it I got the rush that it was treasure... I feel it may be off of the 1715 Spanish fleet or one of the other many vessels that sank in the straights of florida back in the day. Either way I am very interested in hearing what everyone has to say about it and I am going to get to the bottom of identifying it some how because I am very excited about it.

Any input would be awesome... Thank you! God Bless!!

No no I dont think so because Bob is actually a nice guy. I never saw Bob say anything bad about anybody on TN.


(he just sees things in rocks)

He might be seeking help from the other treasure hunter in his area. Someone who knows what to look for besides me

I'm no angel,but thanks Big. Yes, I see what's meant to be seen. It may be rocks ,metal, glass or anything else that they put their work on. I have plenty of things I could show you. If it would do some good I would show more. I don't need to know what I have. In the beginning I didn't have a clue to what I was seeing. So I know how you guy think. But I was taught what to look for and how to see it.
