Rick: "I think this is coral as I feel it with my finger nail... oh it came off! Scrap!"

[@nonplayerzealot4]

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.

You must not be familiar with the 24 karat scale. Gold is pretty dense and anyone who routinely handles gold or collects it can roughly tell the purity of it from its color and weight. Given that Rick owns a busy pawnshop he is pretty experienced in calculating how much the gold bar is worth by holding it and analyzing the color. Cheers

I wouldn't be surprised if he has 1 or 2 more and he sold one at a pawn shop for quick cash and is holding on to the rest.

Rick "this bar is worth a lot so I'm going to cheat you out of 2 thirds of that money" Pawn shops are for desperate people. Be patient and get your best price from the highest bidder not the only bidder.

[@erronblack308]

That’s what I be over here saying. People are stupid. They’re getting robbed and want it to happen.

[@NovaSixx]

@@erronblack308 90% of people just want money THAT same day. Unless they have money in the bank and really dont need anything. Screwing around with Auctions / Auction fees is too much of a headache for a average person that doesn't know how to sell something like that. & forget about trying to sell something like that on a local marketplace.

[@plurallove]

Where do you sell it then?

[@aldrinmercado3475]

They have to make money. And you would be stupid to think you can just sell that thing to someone. Rick knows people who can buy it and you dont. And you may get scammed or robbed. And who knows how long it would take for you to sell it yourself. And auctions are a lot more complicated too its not like you can call an auction house and just sell it there.

[@MusicforMe123]

I would have held onto this gold bar until I truly know of its origin and value. I think the seller was way too anxious about selling the gold without really thinking it through. It is already confirmed by an expert that it is from a shipwreck which like the expert said changes the value significantly.

[@matthewcox1093]

Maybe seller is broke and need fast cash. But your smart holding and doing research is best. Maybe it is worth 70K

Yea I have held onto crap for years just hoping they would be worth something. And none of it has value. Get rid of it when you can and make a buck and clear up some much needed space

Yes I have wondered this same thing. Most people have no clue that auctions take a huge cut. Plus the auction houses don't guarantee a minimum price that it will sell for either, unless you pay an extra fee ahead of time.

A gold bar from a ship wreck, decades old, is worth far more than that.
