shipwreck artifacts

Got a tip from an old man that there was once an old wooden yacht sunk in the area. Found the rough location on the map and went out at low tide to investigate. Found two seven-inch brass portholes still aligned with where the vessel must have been resting on its side. Then found a third...

Hey there everyone I found this anchor while diving the other day. I found this anchor in the middle of sand with no natural reef or bottom witching thousands of feet of it. I grew up treasuring hunting and shipwreck diving. So a couple of questions, any idea of what era it may be from? It’s...

A few months back at low tide, as the sun was setting, I discovered a red bronze boat rudder that had been broken off at the shaft. I excavated it from the mud and carried it 1/4 of a mile through rough watery terrain. Then at home I cleaned it up. Initially believing it to be fairly old I...

My mother found this thing (maybe a brooch) on south Topsail beach. She found it as if it had just washed up, it appears to be very old and worn. The ruby in the center is very large, 10 carats at least if I had to guess. Between the holes in it there are flowers, floral design, I can upload...

I drove back up to the treasure coast on Thursday, stayed the night, and metal detected over 10 miles of beach between the two days. I found most of the same, rusted fragments of metal and random junk like fishing lures and even a portion of a dresser drawer a foot deep in the sand, but I did...

Hey guys I have a quick question. I am trying to research and find out what model ship, or ships, would best depict the ships of the 1715 fleet, Jupiter wreck, or even 1733 fleet. . I’m asking because I’m trying to find a prebuilt model ship closest to the ship that would’ve been in 1715 fleet...

I found this small stone object last summer on the shore of an uninhabited island in the Chesapeake Bay. Not sure how old it is, or what it is. It looks like a smushed rectangle. Sedimentary rock. Could it be a random artifact from a shipwreck, or possibly something Colonial or Native American...

I am new to this site, but it seems that you are deemed to be the expert on shipwreck coins on this site and I have a question for you. While in Key West on 11/4/12, I found a coin on the southern shore of Key West, actually on the beach near the high tide level, in front of the Casa Marina...
