Watch List notes:

Large clump of 32 Spanish colonial 8 reales, encrusted as found. 838 grams total, 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 2". A very heavy and dense clump of coins tightly fused together in two leaning stacks with two smaller stacks and a couple singletons coming in at odd angles, the silver all dark but bearing orange and green encrustation on exposed parts, all the flat surfaces well worn but with clear Charles III bust and partial date 1783 on one, a perfect paperweight and conversation piece. With photo-certificate from the salvor. Recovered from: Cazador, sunk in 1784 off New Orleans, Louisiana
