Found a ballast pile today while spearfishing....I spot fish for my guys, look for wrecks, shelldive, and bottlehunt !! Today I was lucky enough to get an older coke bottle, a large horse conch with no chips, and found a new ballast spill....looks like large blocky/chunky new England granite...not sure !! I think 1800s !! Always a pleasure and a thrill for me to find a new wreck site !! This one is buried in sand between 2 patch reefs.

How was your lasagna leftovers today. I am going to make the kids this weekend a frozen one out of the box I don't cook well
Good morning Dakota. Here’s the recipe. If I can make it, you can make it. Read through it all first, gather your ingredients and give yourself 3 hours to make it.

Always go home and look at your gopro footage carefully......imagine the things you miss in a quick underwater search ?? I found this ballast and was giddy with excitement. I had to swim a full 300 yards back to the boat for the gopro, and then refined the spot.....thank God it was crystal cclear. later in the man cave I poured over every frame. When I was on site my attention was focused on a long straight object that I was 80% sure was a musket barrel !! The whole time I was filming I was completely focused on this object in the ballast, and oblivious to anything else. Later by pulling still shots from the gopro and zooming in I saw "OTHER" man made objects in the ballast.....hmmmmmm !! Possible round container holding ..... maybe..... COBBS !!

I would never figure that out.
 

Bart in that last photo with the red circle. To the left of the upper part of the circle is that flat rounded rock and right under its shadow sure looks like an upside down large bulbus bottle with top did you see that!!
I’m going to stink at this under water treasure hunting. I can tell you that right now!
