    I'm surprised they didn't weight it (or at least they didn't show that part) and rapidly jumped into saying it's worth $24K then settling for $35K. This piece could've been worth a lot more, not only for its weight, but because it's a very unique, potentially highly collectible piece.

    This item is called a fingerbar in the trade. They were made to be as long as a typical forearm, but very few complete ones have ever been found. They're usually cut into halves or even small pieces (probably used in smaller transactions). Most likely this partial fingerbar was discovered in the 80s by Mel Fisher. Numerous fingerbars, even a few complete ones, large money chains, ornate money chains, emeralds, gold dubloons, and ship artifacts have been found in recent decades. Ships would often crash into coral reefs and they decomposed in shallow waters, making it possible for those bars/coins to either be found in shallow water or for hurricanes to deposit them on the beach. Even in the last decade, metal detectorists have occasionally found long gold chains (called money chains) from the 1700s Spanish Fleet as well as coins. The bars are probably the hardest items to find being that they are heavier than coins and chains. It's very possible tho. This thing is real. Note that the expert's name is Mel and he only showed up this 1 time in show history. He was probably a relative of Mel Fischer who actually owned the bar and lent it to the show to use on camera.
