Better Days will Soon Be Here Again!

The red line in the photo shows the original rock out cropping line.
They left one of the BIG rocks in the north getty because it was too
big to move! Its still there today. The getty to the east of it
is from extensions that occurred in 1928 through today

Ivans tip -- look from the lower (*southern) end of the "big" outcrop in a straight line between it and the two smaller outcrops about 4 boat lengths directly below you in the photo

Ivan

Are you talking about my boat lengths (65 feet) in the photo?
Also are you suggesting along the red line, east or west of it.

There are a couple of big dredge pipes in the general vicinity
of the outcroppings on the northern perimeter.

That area use to be the buoyed swim area in the 80's and 90's.
The life guards moved the buoyed swim area closer to the inlet
in the last 5 years.

In the late 80's and early 90's I found a few coins here and there
in the cracks around those outcroppings but lttle else.

That does not mean that there is not more there. Worm rock grows
very quickly in this high energy surf zone area. There is so much
oxygen pushed into the water here from braking waves marine organisms
grow quickly covering cracks and artifacts as well.

Dom,

The land is being washed away.Global average sea level has risen by nearly .2 meters over the last 100 years.

dom in the photo first solution hole *--its directly behind your larger salvage vessel *--two smaller rock outcroppings --look on the southern outer edge of it. and also look along "a line" drawn between them and the larger "single" outcropping yjats a short ways above and inward in that photo -- Ivan.

Anyhow...

No offense intended but talk is cheap!

I hope a variation of this is going to be my next archeological "tool"!
Only the barge will be self powered like in the earlier posting...

Again, anyone want to help put this tool together?

 

[ivan salis]

if talk is cheap --how come college professors earn so much per lecture?

lawyers just run their mouths and are often highly paid --

as a general rule talking with with smart folks isn't cheap *

Wessee Konstruksie from South Africa make very good 8 inch diamond mining mining pumps would make short work of those holes look on Gumtree SA google the term find one fr around 8 K will mine better than most if not the best giving you birds eye while moving 60 CY per hour and up.
Amazing story Dom, I check your site from time to time, cheers
