Natural (smooth) gold nugget or small ingot, 21 grams, from the 1715 Fleet. 7/8" x 5/8" x 1/8". Plain piece of smooth-surface gold with irregular but mostly rounded edges (hence not cut from an ingot, but possibly cast as a single unit, and therefore probably contraband), some black staining from the sea. Found on the beach in a 1715-Fleet area, and pedigreed to the Frank Sedwick, Ph.D., Price List of February-March, 1995, with original invoice.
Estimate: $600
