Very coolIn 1955... Kip Wagner made a looking glass in a surfboard and discovered the first of the 1715 Shipwreck sites by spotting piles of scattered silver bars on the reef.
alloy, Funny you should mention that a fellow we know from our stamp collecting club mentioned a similar idea. He had grown up in Egypt and since people weren't very rich they'd use something similar to look for lost jewelry, etc...at the beaches. Obviously much cheaper than detecting equipment.Back in the day when people were responsible for their own safety.
I cut the bottom out of a pair of five gallon plastic pails then placed a round piece of glass sealed with silicon.
Took my two kids to the golf course, using the glass bottomed pails they could easily see lost golf balls under water.
The golf course's now either tender or hire divers to retrieve the lost balls.
For the prospector that don't snorkel or dive the pail might be a handy bit of kit.
Jim, I remember going out on a glass bottomed boat either Bahamas or Dominican Republic. It was neat seeing all the multi coloured fish near the coral reef.Very cool
I have seen where folks have done small boats as well.
Had a thought the other day about the glass out of a big screen TV.
I thought they had some magnification because of the concave glass-but not sure.
I dont even know why they even make the old style shovels anymore.
People are slow to learn on some simple everyday items like... a SHOVEL.
Well the shovel is the least of human slowness... its simple.... lets talk about all the slowness on items NEEDED in this world.
LIKE................ Desalination of seawater.
They can build a car that drives itself... WHICH IS NOT IMPORTANT IN ANY WAY.
but they cannot simply remove salt from water efficiently. heh
Go figure right.
They make transparent canoe's... the whole thing is see through.Very cool

Sounds like an earthquake to me.Some weirdness going on here in California. Huge explosions here in the country enough to shake the house no idea where they are coming from or what is causing them. Been two huge ones so far
Well,I always try to keep my arse behind me.The modern human is backwards arsed.
Young lady went to her doctor.Doctor,I,ve got a problem with flatulence,just constant passing of gas.Mind you,there,s no smell or noise but it,s kind of disconcerting.Any thing that can be done? Doc gives her a prescription and tells her to come back in two weeks. Two weeks later the lady shows up highly agitated,Doctor I don,t know what those pills were but now the smell is overwhelming and the sound is just thunderous,I,m at my wits end.Doctor beams a smile and says,now that we,ve got that nose and those ears fixed lets work on that gas!!!!Ya...I forgot how funny farts still are !!
A good many years ago now,right after Quadaffi challenged the U.S.Navy in the Gulf of Sidra I think it was,I heard he had one of those built so he could view the Libyan Navy!A family friend long ago built a small wood row boat with about a foot and a half piece of plexiglass for a "window" in the floor. It was fun!
