Here is an item Jason T. found in the water.

| Find and photo by Jason T. |
Jason said and expert told him this was a 300 AD Greek coin. There is the possibility that is a reproduction used for jewelry though, and Jason agreed that was a possibility.
Jason said don't throw an item away until you know what it is. I totally agree with that. You'll learn a lot by investigating mystery items.
One thing a couple coin collectors pointed out to me on this one is that the hole appears to be drilled rather than punched. If the hole was made in ancient times, it would have been punched rather than drilled.
I'd definitely keep researching the item. Good find, one way or the other. The research will teach you a lot.
Thanks Jason!

The remains included an early butchery site and stone tools used for preparing food.
Archaeologists have described the discoveries at Lionacleit as "extra special".
They found the remains of the area where animals had been butchered for food during studies of the site last year...

I'd love to be able to browse an area like that.
