jfr30, stone cannon balls for the most part were replaced by iron cannon balls at the end of of 1500's. However, with some older weapons they were still used into the early 1600's. That said, are there two wrecks at Juno?
Anything is possible, but I don't think it is probable.

The Company is pleased to release the following list of artifacts from
the Company's shipwreck site: (all dates are A.D.):



1. Shard of Ming Dynasty China (circa 1640 or earlier)
2. Middle Style Spanish Pottery, known as "Olive Jar" (circa 1580-1680)
3. Three different calibers of Cannon balls (4 lbs., 8 lbs., 12 lbs.)
4. Stone Cannon balls, often found on earlier Spanish Galleons (circa 16th
and early 17th centuries)
5. Large iron Spanish Galleon style anchor (circa 16th to 18th century)
6. Large iron fasteners, through holes. These are identical to what was
found on the Atocha wreck of 1622.
7. Lead sheeting, protecting hulls from wood boring organisms. Lead
sheeting is typically Spanish in technique. (circa 16th to 18th
century)
8. Round iron lock (for a chest or vault), which was identical to examples
found on the Atocha wreck of 1622.



Hot Spurs put up a good list of artifacts recovered. Based on that and the fact that it is only a mile or less away from Jupiter inlet. I think the wreck at Juno is part of the Jupiter Inlet wreck. I guess once sfrx goes back to Juno, we will know ? Below is a quote from another forum on the Jupiter Inlet wreck. One of the people working that wreck made the quote.

Just Where is the Rest of the Ship???
We have been excavating at the Jupiter Historic Shipwreck site going on 23 years now... And the question remains:

"Just Where is the Rest of the Ship?"



I also agree with basserdan. If that wreck is the one scattered from Jupiter Inlet to Juno. How much treasure is scattered over that mile?
I'm not saying there wouldn't be any treasure at Juno. ( if it is part of the Jupiter Inlet wreck. ) I'm saying that I wouldn't bet the farm on Juno as being a home run.
