Nice find. I think you are right. the metal wick holder probably corroded away or fell out.
We (I was not alone) once found a British E-type Submarine that had been lost for nearly 100 years.
Other than that, just lots of trash, diving gear, stuff that you would expect to see on wrecks -- utensils, tools etc, even a full bottle of wine once, and so on. One memorable find was a brass dinner bell from the wreck of the Elba. I brought it to the surface because I thought it was kind of cool and one of the other divers drooled over it so much that I gave it to him. I'm not much of a treasure hunter. I dive wrecks for other reasons. My dive buddy did find a gun once that the police were eager to confiscate. That was the only thing we ever found that we weren't allowed to keep.

any pictures or video of the British sub? that sounds like a cool dive.
My best find so far was losing my compass without knowing it and finding it the next day on a reef off an uninhabited island in Malaysia.
Hey! Are you sure that was YOURS??I lost my compass too. Did it have your name on it?I can identify it. It was black with a dial that rotated!

A dive computer and a three pound weight, twice. Sadly, the weight was my own and then I lost it for the third time. And the computer has been reunited with its owner.

Today was a super treasure hunt day... Looks like a very old bottle of rum with the cap still intact... And another old bottle with the cork still in it also filled 3/4 with liquid.. Anyone want a drink... Post photos tonight..Jim...
