Scott, can you get a close up of the jeweled cross - front and back? It looks like it was on a necklace at one time. The luster isn't as bright as I expected. What's it made of?

What great finds. I'm excited about seeing the pocket watch cleaned up.

Scott,

What are some of the other objects in the images above. Some of them look like mini-balls from the civil war era? I take it we have some cross contamination going on. I know you had mentioned that there are several wrecks in the immediate area.

Hi Robert
No mini balls, some bullets and odd leads- not sinkers. Several spikes and copper nails. More Pictures coming.

Scott is that pocket watch modern?If not,it would be interesting to see what time it has on it if the hands havent fallen off from corrosion.

These are the bullets or mini-balls I was refering to. They look to be civil war era.

Are any of the other wrecks civil war era or civil war related? Just very interesting to see bullets like this on the site.

Robert, we do find similar bullets towards the south end of where we've been looking, I found 2 and I think Dustin found a few as well. Lots of mid to late 1800's artifacts mixed in with our 1650's stuff. We've also been finding a lot of rust flakes that look like coins. Maybe there's an ironside loaded with confederate gold out there too.

Gulfland Tanker sunk in 1943 Lat 26 56’ 00” N. Long 80 00’ 01”

British ship “Burrough” Capt William H. Jones sunk in 1696 she was dismasted by the storm which blew her up on the rocks at the Jupiter lighthouse causing her to break and sink.

British barkatine “Reformation” Capt. Edward White 1696 (provably same storm) she hit a storm which drove her ashore just north of the Jupiter inlet.

Then there is this…

FLORIDA 17 Off Jupiter Inlet Wreck Located Under date of January 12 1900 the United States Weather Bureau observer at Jupiter Fla reports that a broken mast showing about 6 feet out of water and slanting northward probably part of a sunken wreck lies about 2 miles from the beach ESE of Jupiter Light and in the track of south bound steamers January 18 1900 Charts affected 164 14 B C and E

Hope this helps....
