I found this today diving the tail race canal, here in Moncks Corner SC. I have no clue what it came off of or what it is. Thank you all.

The thing on the right is a quarter. It's worth roughly 25 cents...









Sorry. I got nothin.

It's a fancy washer?

I may be way off base here but you may want to consult a coin collector. Many tribes used decorated pieces like this on a string or necklace as tender.

That is a very good thought Jim. I am thinking about taking it to the museum tomorrow, they will probably have a good idea. Thank you.

I believe I've seen that before. Yes, I'm sure of it now. It was when Janet Jackson had her wardrobe malfunction.

According to people on this board if its an artifact you should have left it down there for others to enjoy.....LOL.....what a load of crap.....nice find whatever it is

There is a big difference from taking something from a ship that was sunk for divers enjoyment and something you found on the bottom. Stealing those items from the Oriskany is a felony.

You should take the time to read a few of the posts there. No where did it say that if you find something like this that you should just leave it there.

Nice find by the way, cldSCUBA.

Yeah...that was what people were saying in the Oriskany thread. You nailed it. It had nothing to do with following the law and not committing a felony.

Sorry for the hijack cldScuba. I do hope you find out about the piece you found.
