Greetings HISTARCH:
We have a mystery artifact that was found on the Roosevelt Inlet
shipwreck in Lewes, Delaware.
The shipwreck dates to May of 1774.
The object is a hollow segmented cylinder of base metal or pewter. It
measures 7 inches in length with a diameter of a little less than 2
inches. One terminus has a smaller knob that was welded on. The other
end appears to have been broken off.
If you are interested, please e-mail me off-list at
[log in to unmask] , and I can send you an image.
Thanks for your help,
Craig Lukezic
