KENNEBUNKPORT -- In Cape Porpoise Harbor last Saturday, a team of scientists and archaeologists expertly excavated what is believed to be the oldest dugout canoe ever found in the state of Maine...
While conducting a surface survey of the intertidal zone, Spahr located the remains of the dugout canoe, made from a hollowed tree trunk, which was revealed due to a significant sand shift. Carbon testing dates the canoe between 1280-1380 A.D...

| Photos and Finds by Terry Shannon. |
Yesterday I showed a lead collar that I thought might be part of a lead bottle closure. If that is what it was, it might have gone with a cap like one of the ones shown above, which were found by Terry Shannon in an area where he has found 1715 Fleet artifacts.
I'm still looking for photos of intact examples of lead or pewter caps and collars on bottles or bottle necks.
I could see how these caps could possibly be used with a collar.

Corinthians 4:7: “But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.”
The Apostle Paul used the figure of treasure in clay jars to refer to the Spirit within man. The use of the figure of speech suggests how common it was in antiquity to bury treasure in clay jars.
Here is a excerpt from an article published in Biblical Archaeology.
… There we visited the Cyprus National Museum in Nicosia, which houses a small but rich collection of artifacts. One display in particular jumped out at me—a clay pot lying on its side with a bunch of coins spilling out of its mouth. The description said it was a coin hoard found nearby dating from the first century C.E. The topic of coin hoards caught my interest, and I discovered that archaeologists and treasure hunters working in the Greco-Roman world have found thousands of such hoards. The size of these hoards ranges from fifty to fifty thousand coins. The coins were buried in clay jars for safe keeping, often in times of warfare or instability. Coins were also hoarded for ritual purposes as votive offerings. The phenomenon was so well known that Jesus told a parable about a man who found such a hoard and sold all his possessions to buy the field (Matthew 13:44). The Greek word for “treasure” (thesaurus) used by Jesus is the same word that Paul used in 2 Corinthians 4:7. So they seem to be talking about the same thing!..

Did you know that stores can use Bluetooth tracking to tell what part of the store you are in and send ads relative to where you are?

I have some projects planned and have been developing some new projects.
Beach detecting conditions remain poor with no change expected soon. Conditions are good for the salvage crews.
Expect a one foot surf for several days.
Happy hunting,
