tiki auction, you got any pics?

it was a couple of years ago, let me see if i can still find a shot of it. it was one of those things that i pulled out from behind some boulder at the beach and said cool what is it. it had a hoop and a bolt that ran straight across. the metal was almost entirely replaced by coral growth, but you could still make out parts of the exposed cast iron. i remember putting my wrist through the hoop, realized what it was and felt a chill down my spine. wanted to throw it back in the ocean, but ended up giving it to my father in law who was born and raised in the caribbean. not sure what he did with it, i think he gave it to the local museum. later saw an exhibit that had a very similar shackle.
