Finds Made by Jerry P in a Display Box Created by Jerry.

Jerry P. sent photos of two of his treasure displays along with the following message.

... I like the shadowbox look so most of my displays are done this way. I also keep a detailed catalog on the back of every display with the date the item was found, beach it was found at along with GPS coordinates and a description of the item/items. The first display is a collection of large bronze ship spikes in a cigar box, that one can acquire for free at any ABC liquor store. I just cut out the top of the box and place a piece of picture frame glass that can be found in a trash pile of thrift store cheap. The second shadowbox I picked up at a thrift store and put smaller bronze spikes, square nails and a brass side plate to an old musket. I photo shopped pieces of the 1774 Bernard Romans map and printed it on old brown paper for an old rustic look. Thank you for all your posts.

Those are excellent finds and displays.  Thanks for sharing Jerry.

There are some things Jerry said that I want to emphasize.  First, on the back of his displays
 he writes the date of the finds, GPS coordinates and item descriptions.  That is a great idea.

He got a good start for one display in a thrift store.  That is also a great idea.   
Also notice the nice graphics.  You can do a lot with a home computer and printer.

The cigar box idea is a great tip.  With a little creativity you can inexpensively make 
some excellent displays.

I'll add one more thing.  Put your name on the back of the display.  Those displays might be 
around after you are long gone, and although you don't need that information now, some day it 
might be good to have it on the display.

Thanks again Jerry.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek-U.S. team of marine archaeologists has located three 
more ancient shipwrecks with pottery cargoes, including 1,900-year-old branded designer 
lamps, and two from much later times in a rich graveyard of ships in the eastern Aegean 
Sea, a project official said Tuesday...

The older wrecks date to the 4th and 2nd centuries B.C. and the 5th-6th centuries A.D., 
while the more recent ones are from the 18th or 19th century, said archaeologist George 
Koutsouflakis, joint leader of the project.

He said they were discovered at depths of 10-40 meters (33-130 feet). Because that is 
relatively shallow, the wrecks bore traces of looting by illegal antiquities hunters or of 
damage by fishing nets...

There is absolutely nothing on the National Hurricane Center map in the Atlantic or
Caribbean right now.

The tides are near flat, as is the surf.

The prevailing swell is from the southeast.

Friday the surf will increase to three to five feet.

Happy hunting,
