I've recently encountered a beach site off Vancouver Island that is turning up numerous what appear to be quite early ships spikes and would like to confirm or disprove if possible. They are hand-wrought and appear to be possibly copper or bronze, and the case of the rivet, indications point to sterling silver. The oxidization crust around the spikes in a couple instances was almost three inches thick and is comprised of a black hardened tar-like substance that has a strong odour. Any ID assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
