Historic Ship found below 9/11 terrorist site...

That's a pretty awesome find! :) I'm glad people are still uncovering history! :)
 

Those archiologists need to learn how to use a detector... What are the odds of my slippin down there with my minelab and blending in?
 

I saw it i had to visit my doctor in Manhattan the VA the ship is right up against one of the retainer wall,s holding back the river i would love to MD that but no way the 9-11 site is off limits and for good reason it would easier to get in Fort Knotts i think it was buried on purpose to use as land fill when building the harbor front .Dd60
 

Pretty amazing find. That's why I posted it. And no Capri, you absolutely, without a doubt WOULD NOT be able to detect this site. First off, there is heavy construction going on there. Second, it is on private property. Lastly, it is the site of one of the greatest atrocities that's ever occurred here on US soil, so, why would you even WANT to?!?! It's basically a burial ground for all who perished on 9/11 :'(

There happens to be a LOT of history in the lower "downtown" part of Manhattan. They were digging up some ground back in the 90's when the laborer's uncovered a huge, old slavery burial ground.

Also, if anyone has ever read Michael Chaplin's book "The Urban Treasure Hunter", you'll see he has made some FANTASTIC discoveries in Manhattan. Problem is, unless there is construction going on, one wouldn't be able to detect since it's all asphalt and hi-rise buildings.

I grew up in the great city of NY. But still, whenever something like the ship above is found, I am completely in awe.

I did not mean MD the entire 9-11 site i was just thinking of the 18th century ship where it lies just a treasure thought .
