Congratulations Cole, and thanks for sharing Jonah!
Cole also found a class ring. Not the class of 1715 - but 1968.

Things of various ages and sources sometimes get mixed together. Just because something comes from a known shipwreck site doesn't mean it came from the shipwreck. That is obviously the case with this class ring. The ring looks like it has been lost for a good number of years.
Nice thing about diving all day is that your hands look like you just got a manicure - not like relic hunters. Relic hunters usually look like they could start a seed garden under their fingernails. ( :

Continuing with that theme, I found an article about a shipwreck that was lost in 1802 that was carrying antiquities taken from ancient Greece.
Chess pawns, combs and a toothbrush are some of the new findings brought to light by the underwater excavation of the wreck of the ship “Mentor” that sank off the island of Kythira in 1802...
The ship, which was carrying antiquities plundered from the Parthenon by British diplomat Lord Elgin, was bound for England via Malta but sank at the entrance of the port of Avlemona southwest Kythera...

Another example how items from various sources and ages can be found together.

The Atlantic is hearing up. The system approaching the West Indies (red) had an 80% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours. The next system has about a thirty percent chance.
Gert is way north now.
I'll be posting a projected path on those systems before long.
Happy hunting,
