musketballs (the usual fare) with hemispherical half of a split-shot, which was a musketball that was molded with wire

Single "lance"-type steel needle. 8.7 grams, 6¼" long. This long and remarkably intact needle with sharp points at both
ends has a thick, square "waist" near the middle, giving it the appearance of a jouster's lance, its actual use probably
having to do with surgery or sailmaking. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida. With Real Eight Co.

1393 Wire shot (2 lead musketballs with spring).
Wire shot (2 lead musketballs with spring). 50 grams, about 1½" x ¾". In order to increase the chances of hitting a target,
pairs of musketballs were often cast with a wire or spring between them so that the ammunition would rotate and expand,
and this specimen is one of the most complete we have ever seen, also with a very rare provenance, a Spanish galleon
sunk on her way from Cartagena to Havana laden with treasure but stripped by the English soon after the sinking.

1394 Gold eagle figurine, pre-Columbian design (Central American).
Gold eagle figurine, pre-Columbian design (Central American). 5.0 grams, about 1¼" x 1". Avian figurines like this one
were first named águilas (eagles) by Christopher Columbus, who observed local natives wearing them as pendants when
he sailed along the Caribbean coast of Central America in the early 1500s. Apart from the detailed eagle-like face and
long, curved beak, however, this piece is hardly bird-like, as it bears prominent, curved "ears" at top; flat, wide-shouldered
"arms" with clear...
1395 Natural emerald matrix.
Natural emerald matrix. 69.9 grams, roughly 1½" x 2" x 1". This natural chunk of calcite rock contains two long crystals of
emeralds that have to be among the highest-grade natural crystals ever found on a shipwreck, our theory being that the
miners in Muzo (Colombia) decided the whole piece had to be shipped to Spain intact to receive the best care possible in
removing the crystals from the surrounding matrix, which, incidentally, includes many little bits of sparkly pyrite ("fool's
gold") in...

Six-sided Chinese cylindrical die (bone), rare. 25.6 grams, 1¾" tall and 7/8" in diameter. A very curious and rare object
(only one known from a shipwreck) that was like a regular die (plural: dice) in that each of the 6 sides shows a number of
pips from 1 to 6 (three times on each side), except that instead of being a cube, it is in the form of a cylinder, whose
rolling movement was limited to one direction. Also rare as complete and intact except for its having been broken in two

Base of a Chinese Kangxi blue-on-white porcelain cup with Chinese characters. 14.0 grams, roughly 1½" in diameter.
While only the round base of a broken teacup, this piece is important in that it bears 6 Chinese characters, which typically
tell when and where the porcelain was manufactured (but we cannot translate), apparently two pieces that were once
separate but glued back together. From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum,

Brass oval box for sealing wax (three parts). 49 grams, about 3¼" x 2½". This lot consists of three separate parts, being

color but no markings anywhere, some minor corrosion and bits of encrustation. From the Capitana El Rubí and
pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.

Small cigar scissors. 17.9 grams, roughly 3¼" x 1-5/8". Like a modern pair of scissors but much smaller and without the
usual blades but instead with hole next to one handle and crude, sharp rock next to the other that sliced off the tips of
cigars inserted into the hole, made of an unidentified "white" base metal that was nicely polished but with bits of white and
reddish sediment and encrustation that demonstrate its provenance, undoubtedly rare (first we have ever seen) and in

1420 Large jade bead, rare.
Large jade bead, rare. 30.8 grams, 1" in diameter. A large ball of beautiful green jade with hole in center for use as a
bead, most of the surface polished to a luster but with lots of small fissures and gray areas that add to the overall
attractiveness. From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
1421 Rare green-glass "tear jar," rare.
Rare green-glass "tear jar," rare. 20.3 grams, 4" tall. With very tall, narrow neck with handle on side and wide, flat base,
this odd-looking vase-like container in light-green glass had an equally odd purpose: Hired mourners would carry it to
funerals and shed tears into it to give to the bereaved as a sort of memorial. Unfortunately the fragile neck is broken off
right where it meets the base, but otherwise it is intact and beautifully encrusted with bits of coral. From the Capitana El
Rubí ...

Intact silver fork with important hallmarks on handle. 53 grams, 7¼" long. A very solid and perfectly intact fork with 4
sharp tines and scallop-tipped handle on which are several hallmarks, the boldest of which shows a clear M below head

stamp) and GõSA/LEZ, corresponding to silversmith Diego Gonzalez de la Cueva, all on mostly silvery surfaces with only

1423 Small, silver-plated spoon.
Small, silver-plated spoon. 14.0 grams, 5½" long. A nice little teaspoon that is fundamentally intact except for a cut and
bend in part of the handle, the surfaces bright silver in color against a gray (pewter?) background with spots of
encrustation, no visible markings. From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum,
with certificate.
1424 Alabaster spoon fragment.
Alabaster spoon fragment. 25.2 grams, about 3¼" x 1-5/8". Made from an opaque white stone known as alabaster (first
we have seen from a wreck), this spoon bowl and section of handle shows light encrustation throughout, with natural
fissure in the material that does not appear to affect the integrity, which is intact except for the rest of the handle. From
the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.

1426 Brown clay pipe bowl and stem (2 pieces).
Brown clay pipe bowl and stem (2 pieces). 17.5 grams total, up to 3" long. Most of the historic clay pipes you see are a
chalky white, but this one is a dark gray-brown, with the bowl and about 1½" of the attached stem fully intact and lightly
encrusted with coral on the base and inside, accompanied by a separate 2-5/8" length of the other end of the pipe stem
with rolled lip and black where it entered the smoker's mouth, otherwise same color and condition as the bowl. From the

connector. From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
1428 Small pewter buckle with encrustation.
Small pewter buckle with encrustation. 3.5 grams, 7/8" x ¾". As buckles go, this one is very small and unadorned
(rounded rectangular), but the beauty of it is that it is fully intact with middle point on separate loop and is attractively
encrusted with white coral (otherwise black in color). From the Capitana El Rubí and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken
1429 Large brass sailmaker's thimble in choice condition.
Large brass sailmaker's thimble in choice condition. 4.1 grams, 1" tall and ¾" in diameter. The brassy exterior of this large

rope, dark and glossy from conservation, very rare to have survived, as most rope rots away. From the Capitana El Rubí
and pedigreed to Art McKee's Sunken Treasure Museum, with certificate.
1435 Lot of 2 bronze musketballs, rare.
Lot of 2 bronze musketballs, rare. 63.8 grams total, each ¾" in diameter. In all our years of dealing in treasure artifacts
we have never seen musketballs made of bronze, but since they made cannonballs out of bronze on occasion, then the
same material for these smaller balls must not be unique and probably served as "high end" ammunition for wealthy
pistol-owners. One is cleaned and evenly brown in color, the other patinated as found, both perfectly intact. From the
Capitana El Rubí and pedig...
1436 Clump of lead musketballs and birdshot in encrustation.

1439 Large iron barshot, professionally conserved.
Large iron barshot, professionally conserved. 14 lb, 13" long and 4" max diameter. With both ends flat and the middle bar
hexagonal in cross-section, this is one of several types of barshot known from wrecks of this period, an effective type of
ammunition designed to whirl around and foul rigging (not to mention striking a larger target), this example fairly well
intact and heavy, corroded from oxidation but stable and flat black in color from conservation. Recovered from: Spanish

Encrusted scissors, broken and reglued. 142 grams, 4½" x 2¾". A wonderful artifact that is basically a white-coral cocoon
of a small pair of iron scissors, the coral following the contour of the piece exactly (both handles discernible, one broken
off and crudely glued back on), totally stable and solid. Recovered from: Spanish 1733 Fleet, sunk in the Florida Keys.
1444 Bronze spout (from a shot bag or lamp?).
Bronze spout (from a shot bag or lamp?). 103 grams, about 3" x 3". This was consigned to us as being the top of an oil
lamp, but more likely it is the spout from a shot bag, with bulbous nozzle attached to round flange inside which is a flowcontrol lever, the metal all dark but in perfect shape, with white encrustation inside the nozzle. Recovered from: Spanish
1733 Fleet, sunk in the Florida Keys.
1445 Small brass spike.
Small brass spike. 19.6 grams, 2¼" long. A short, straight spike with distinct flat head and point at other end, very bright
brass color although for some reason the finder thought it was silver (perhaps due to the metal-detector reading).

Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. With Robert Marx certificate.

1451 Pair of gold filigree/emerald earrings.
Pair of gold filigree/emerald earrings. 11.5 grams total, each 2" x 1¼". One of the highlights of this sale, a pair of gold
filigree earrings in perfectly wearable condition (unlike most original Spanish shipwreck artifacts), highly ornate and highgrade gold with typically crude and pale emeralds (36 on each), each earring consisting of 3 moving parts plus wire loop
at top, very impressive and clearly very valuable even in its own time. Found long ago in the Rio de la Plata area (hence

Half-foot section of rope in perfect condition. 81.5 grams, 6" long and 1" in diameter. A thick, straight piece of rope, totally
intact and heavy, remarkably well preserved for having been under the sea for over 300 years, the consignor's theory
being that large coils of rope fell off the side of the ship as it sank, burying them deep in the mud of the Solent (the
shipping lane that separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland) under the ship, which sank on a sandbank in February
of 1758. Rec...

1457 Lot of brass navigational dividers and Paul Revere nail.
Lot of brass navigational dividers and Paul Revere nail. 53 grams total, 2-5/8" to 3-5/8" each. While the dividers are
traditionally the more significant item (the usual design with interlocking arms hinged at top, these frozen together with
encrustation), in this case it is the nail that is important, as it shows a clear U.S. stamp on the head that is supposedly
linked to the foundry of the famous Boston patriot Paul Revere. Recovered from: Unidentified Revolutionary War-era

Dutch flintlock pistol, professionally conserved and restored. 2 lb 2 oz, 15" long. Sometime in the 1990s a shipment of
Dutch flintlock pistols was found on a French ship off Hispaniola, and these pistols were found to be ornate and intact,
but with all the wood and iron destroyed by worms and oxidation. The pistols were then taken to Doug Armstrong, who is

most with cylindrical protrusions for winding pocket-watches, the designs somewhat ornate and still very clear despite

intrinsic value. Recovered from: Hartwell, sunk in 1787 off the Cape Verde Islands, west of Africa.

Section of wood timber with plaque. 48 lb, 9" x 9" x 24". Visitors to Baltimore's Inner Harbor tourist area are familiar with
the U.S. Navy frigate Constellation, the U.S. Navy's first ship put to sea and the first to defeat an opponent, now a
popular tourist attraction. The ship was de-commissioned and scrapped in 1853, when a "new" Constellation was built
from its remains, parts of which were later used to make souvenirs like this one to help fund renovations (probably in

Lot of 3 large lead cannonballs(?). 539 grams total, 7/8" to 1-1-3/8" in diameter. These are odd items (2 small and one

heretofore. Recovered from: Unidentified English or French wreck sunk in the late 1700s in the English Channel.

1489 Steel navigational dividers, professionally conserved.
Steel navigational dividers, professionally conserved. 39 grams, 4" long. Unlike earlier bronze versions, which generally
had replaceable iron points in the arms, this later model (made of so-called "blister" steel for the presence of minute air
pockets in the metal) had integrated points, still sharp on this example, which is a dark brown in color and is fully
functional (no corrosion or rust, presumably due to being "buried deeply"). Recovered from: Unidentified whaler wreck

Iron padlock with skull-and-crossbones design, probably modern and fanciful but clearly corroded from immersion. 148
grams, 2½" x 3¼". This once-functional iron padlock has the look of a Hollywood movie prop, as it looks almost
intentionally crude and rustic and bears a clear skull-and-crossbones design on the front, yet it does look old, so… could
it be a genuine shipwreck pirate item? We'll let the bidders decide. Recovered from: Unidentified wreck sunk in the 1800s

Set of 8 brass nesting cup weights. 219.2 grams, 1" tall and 1¾" in diameter (nested). Individual cup-weights are actually
a fairly common find in colonial areas, but putting together a set that fits together so well as this one does is a real
challenge! Most sets were mixed and matched in their own day (as cups were lost and replaced over time), the important
thing being standardized weights for each size. The cups in this lot show minor encrustation over surfaces of varying
colors of brass ...

Bronze enema-pump nozzle and tips. 166 grams total, main piece 5" tall and 2½" in diameter. We have seen these items
before from shipwrecks, always with long, narrow spout flaring to a wide base for attaching to a sort of syringe, the large

holes near end, nicely patinated, rare and perhaps surprisingly popular artifacts. Found in a Spanish colonial area in the

Bronze leather-working tool. 41 grams, 5½" long. This strange, spur-like item consists of a corrugated wheel at the end of
an ornate shaft (intact but with the iron pin holding the wheel rusted away and replaced with something modern, the
surfaces of the bronze nicely patinated), its use a bit mysterious but probably related to the marking or tempering of raw
leather. Found in a Spanish colonial area in the southern Caribbean, ca. 1590.

1543 Large lead cannonball(?), probably rare.
Large lead cannonball(?), probably rare. 273 grams, 1½" in diameter. Too large to be a musketball but probably too soft
to be a cannonball, but unquestionably ammunition of some sort, this strange piece is among the first we have seen, very
well formed and with brown and white patina. Found in a Spanish colonial area in the southern Caribbean, ca. 1590.
1544 Lot of 3 lead splitshot/springshot musketballs.
Lot of 3 lead splitshot/springshot musketballs. 93 grams total. Three lead musketballs with protrusion where wire was

1545 Lot of 5 rolled-lead "homemade" musketballs.
Lot of 5 rolled-lead "homemade" musketballs. 55 grams total. Musketball molds and pliers were scarce at times, and

piece and 4 rolled balls. Found in a Spanish colonial area in the southern Caribbean, ca. 1590.
1546 Lot of lead birdshot with 3 mold sections.
Lot of lead birdshot with 3 mold sections. 49 grams total. Unlike larger balls, which were typically made with pliers, small
birdshot was usually cast in strip-molds and broken off the strips like candy dots. This lot shows both the finished product
(8 individual balls) and 3 strips with the balls still attached (2 with 4 balls each and one with just one ball still attached).
Lot of 25 lead musketballs. 483 grams total. The standard colonial fare for firing from flintlock muskets, each with dusty
