They don’t look like much to me but I don’t know pearls.

What I find curious is that they Spanish placed the pearls in a sealed lead box. What would be their purpose in doing that?

Geez, if I found those, i’d probably discard them as worthless. I better pay closer attention!

A lot of times, things look really strange in photos, but if you were to hold them, I'm sure the pearls would make themselves known, just by their feel. Interesting article!
