You could contact the Aus Maritime Museum and see if anyone thinks they have a value.

Otherwise perhaps donate them to the museum.

I am guessing not much value as it's only the nails.

If it was something more detailed and a specific one of piece of the ship, Captains wheel, figure head, name plaque etc. it would be valuable.

Only my opinion and food for thought.
