"That the device was made much later than the date of the shipwreck," isn't possible. The device was inside a concretion that was part of the wreck debris. Interestingly enough, off Turkey some years ago an "age of sail" wreck was found near some scary rock; under it was a sandwich of two other wrecks, the oldest being ancient. Each had hit the rock in turn, probably in the night, and each sank to rest on the same bit of seabottom.
