Golden toothpick


A tiny gold combined toothpick and earwax spoon, is believed to be more than 385 years old. It could cost up to $100,000. It was discovered about 32 miles west of Key West during a search for remains of the Spanish galleon Santa Margarita that shipwrecked in a 1622 hurricane. I was amazed by this golden toothpick. It is a unique invention. I wondered if the one who used it before ever unconsciously and mistakenly used the toothpick to the ear and the earwax spoon to the teeth. That'd be gross! yikes!
