Quote: After Seafarer, DHR, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) escorted the artifact to our field lab, we scanned the item with an XRF analyzer and conducted tests determining it to be a bright yellow leaded brass and likely part of a historic decorative item. Not quite the gold we all hoped for, but a good find nonetheless since the composition points to a period piece versus a modern alloy. This find was in an area outside of the Ring Site where early sub-bottom imaging SeaSearcher scans indicated an area of loose scatter approximately 12?-20? below the ocean floor.

But isn't the Timmy Toy suppose to be able to tell the difference between bras and gold. Oh well, just a little hick up perhaps.
