Metal Files A number of artifacts have been discovered during the examination and
mechanical cleaning of the mass of concretion that was affixed to the
bottom of the recovered gun tube. One such set of objects was a bunch
of seven metal files. Each file was triangular in shape and tapered into
a “rat-tail” in the end. They have an average length of 28.5
cm, width of 7 cm, are 10cm thick and weigh on average 3 pounds. The files
were all wrapped together in organic fibers. A blank file has the initials
“S.A.” stamped into it, though it is unsure what they refer
to. All seven of the files were placed in electrolysis for conservation.
Additional information may be obtained once this process is completed.
