^Lot 78 Large copper ingot 126, 1022 oz troy (31.8 kg), ex-Atocha (1622).

Large copper ingot 126, 1022 oz troy (31.8 kg), ex-Atocha (1622). Roughly 16" x 10" x 2½". One of the larger copper ingots found in quantity on this shipwreck, none with markings and all rather roughly cast, with lots of bumps and crags that on this piece at least harbor a wealth of whitish-green encrustation, this example a bit more rectangular than most but otherwise typical. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-C126.
